‘FAN-TAZ-TIC’ ACTION ADVENTURE GAME FOR NINTENDO DS OFFERS KIDS TWICE THE FUN WITH TWO MODES OF PLAY
Sydney, Australia – May 5, 2010 –Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announces the launch of Galactic Taz Ball, a new video game for the Nintendo DS™ featuring Taz, the famously frenzied Looney Tunes character. Kids can spin their way across the universe in this action-adventure game filled with interplanetary exploration, platform challenges and fun puzzles. Galactic Taz Ball is available in Europe and Australia beginning May 2010 and in North America August 2010.
The game contains two worlds with completely different gameplay mechanics, including the “Overworld,” an action-style 3-D game playable on the Nintendo DS top screen with track ball controls using the stylus on the bottom screen. By using the track ball, players can spin Taz into a tornado, moving him fast enough to destroy anything that gets between him and his prize.
The second world in Galactic Taz Ball is the “Underworld,” a side-scrolling puzzle game in which players can control Taz by nudging, poking and pulling him and his surroundings with the stylus. Marvin the Martian’s tools also found in the Underworld assist in Taz’s motions, helping players pass each level. Both worlds lend perfectly to Taz’s frenetic and wildly outrageous style
Developed by Wayforward Technologies, Galactic Taz Ball is rated “G” and is available on Nintendo DS and is Nintendo DSi™ compatible. Galactic Taz Ball is available at retail stores across Australia on May 4, 2010, in Europe on May 14, 2010 and in the United States on August 10, 2010.
