Video Game Inspired By Disney Channel Original Movie to Feature New Agent, Cool Gadgets and Off The Wall Worlds
MELBOURNE, Australia – Disney today announced Phineas and Ferb: Across the Second Dimension is currently in development for the Wii™, Nintendo DS™ and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment systems. “Phineas and Ferb” has been leading the charge on the Disney Channel – the #1 subscription TV channel for kids 5-15 in Australia – and this lively new video game is inspired by the upcoming Disney Channel Original Movie inspired by the series. Fans can play as their favourite characters including Phineas, Ferb and Agent P as they journey through all-new dimensions filled with action-packed fun, in a quest to battle the evil Dr. Doofenshmirtz. Phineas and Ferb: Across the Second Dimension is slated for release from Winter 2011.
“We collaborated closely with Disney’s video game development team to ensure that the video game captures the humour and style of our movie,” said Dan Povenmire, Emmy Award-winning Creator/Executive Producer, Phineas and Ferb. “The antics of the characters and the immersive new worlds of the video game will extend the experience fans will encounter in the Phineas and Ferb: Across the Second Dimension.”
The PlayStation®3 system and Wii versions will allow fans to play as up to 10 characters. Players will have the option to work together in two-player cooperative mode while navigating through an old time 1928 style cartoon world, a lawn gnome land and a gelatine world. In a mission to save the world, players will journey through 25 exciting levels while overcoming obstacles and upgrading cool new gadgets including the Carbonator – that fires carbonated orange soda to melt enemies – and ninja gloves, which allow players to stick to walls. Along the way, fans will collect cool items and unlock additional playable characters, including a new OWSA special agent created specifically for the video game. The PlayStation 3 system version will also be the first time a Phineas and Ferb video game features PlayStation®Move motion controller compatible gameplay.
In the DS version of Phineas and Ferb: Across the Second Dimension, fans will play as Phineas, Ferb or Agent P. Players will jump, dodge, race and battle through five outrageous worlds featuring over 30 levels. Along the way, players will work to earn gadget upgrades including a baseball launcher and Agents P’s favourite gadget the grapple gun, while solving environmental puzzles in an effort to save Danville.
In addition to lending their voices to the Disney Channel Original Movie, several of the actors from the popular TV series will be voicing the Wii and PlayStation 3 system versions of the game including Vincent Martella as Phineas, Thomas Sangster as Ferb, Alyson Stoner as Isabella and show creators/executive producers Dan Povenmire as Dr. Doofenshmirtz and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh as Major Francis Monogram.
