Chain Gang
Buddy games like Jak & Daxter and Banjo-Kazooie just haven't been exploited the same way buddy films have. Fortunately, this means it hasn't fallen to self-parody the way buddy films have. Even so, buddy games have continually attempted to reinvent themselves, and so it is with Chain Gang, about a couple of animal test subjects chained to each other like Sidney Poitier and Tony Curtis.

Here
are the key features:
Story: Chain
Gang is set in a high-tech product testing facility of a greedy
mega-corporation where questionable experiments are conducted on
animals. This
chaotic adventure stars two animal fugitives, Spanx and Redmond,
with two very different personalities.
As a result of extensive electric-shock testing, Spanx is a loose
cannon with a crazy streak. Redmond is a smart alecky rabbit who
has been the subject of some embarrassing cosmetics testing.
Both characters are trying to escape the lab. There's one
problem however – they're chained together. |

As
Spanx, you will use Redmond (much to his dismay), as your tool and
weapon to not only escape, but also
to free other enslaved animals and bankrupt the corporation by
destroying the property. Animal
anarchy ensues and your fellow buddies are counting on you to “bring
down the man.” Features:
Utilize
Redmond to chain whip attackers, as a grappling hook to swing over
hazards, or to helicopter to areas unreachable by foot. Defend
yourself by manipulating Redmond in diverse ways such as: Hare
Clog: clog a toilet with Redmond creating a foul flood to ward off
enemies Flaming
Fur Ball: ignite Redmond to scorch attackers Toxic
Bunny: marinate Redmond in toxic waste to poison your foes Battle
a band of baddies including a giant-syringe toting doctor, an unsanitary
surgeon, crooked rent-a-cops, vicious guard dogs and of course, the
corrupt CEO.
Free
other caged animals that are being used to test new consumer products
such as the Self-Operating Table and “Hair-Go” Hair Removal Kit. Wreak
havoc on the compound by demolishing everything in your path ultimately
driving the shady corporation into bankruptcy. Destroy
security cameras, sneak around laser sensors, and access areas
unattainable by humans to avoid detection by the ruthless security
personal. In
your attempt to flee this high-security facility, you will encounter a
genetic research lab, a toxic sewer system, lavish executive offices,
and much more. Chain
Gang should be out in stores in Fall of this year with its quirky
platforming action. - Siddharth Masand (June 29, 2003) |
