Infogrames Announces Sheep, Dog ‘n’ Wolf
The world’s first 'steal’em up' offering crazy gag-packed gameplay and slapstick humour.
Based on a series of wacky Looney Tunes cartoons featuring Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheep-dog, Sheep, Dog ‘N’ Wolf is unlike any game seen before, creating a new “steal’em up” genre for Playstation and PC-CD-ROM from Infogrames.
Sheep Stealing:
Sheep, Dog N’Wolf is a crazy, unorthodox game, which combines mature, tactical gameplay with the best of the Looney Tunes’ anarchic and wild humour. Players will need to creep, sneak and steal sheep from under the diligent guard of Sam Sheep-dog. It’s not what Ralph does that counts; it is how he does it. To rustle the sheep, the player must first find and choose between over 30 objects, gadgets and gizmos that will help lure his prey. In true Looney Tunes tradition, the gadgets are fantastical and elaborate, ranging from the tempting lure of sheep perfume to the disguise of a sheep costume.
Sneak and Stealth:
A wide number of different stealth tactics needs to be employed, as discretion and guile are key to success. Hiding in bushes as players creep across landscapes is half the trick and then the decision as to which gadget to use will be instrumental in catching the prey. Ralph Wolf’s greatest weapon of course is his unlimited imagination – the wilder the ideas the better. He will never give up no matter what the odds are. In short, he is the ultimate anti-hero.
Environmental Hazards:
18 fully interactive and diverse environments are delivered with a lush graphical treatment, which captures the very spirit of the cartoon universe. From deserts to forests and from castles to swamps, an innovative gameplay device is to harness environmental features as part of player tactics. Utilizing seesaws, rocks and rope bridges will be necessary to finishing any level. As a unique combination of arcade action, stealth and ACME weaponry, Sheep, Dog ‘N’Wolf is set to be the freshest gaming concept of 2001.
Sheep, Dog ‘N’Wolf has been developed by Infogrames Lyon House development studio under license from Warner Bros. Consumer Products, the licensing and retail merchandising division of Warner Bros. It is published and distributed by Infogrames Entertainment.
Sheep, Dog ‘N’ Wolf’ is an amazing technological and gameplay achievement at this stage of the Playstation 1 product lifecycle,” says Dawn Paine, Marketing Manager, Infogrames Europe. “The game is truly innovative. It introduces compelling and funny gameplay for a potentially older audience and shows how broad the appeal of the Looney Tunes truly is.”
“The irreverent antics of the Looney Tunes characters have made them timeless favorites for kids of all ages,” said Michael Harkavy, Vice President, Publishing, Kids’ WB! Music and Interactive Entertainment for Warner Bros. Consumer Products. “We are pleased to be working with Infogrames on this inventive, new game, which we believe will be well-received by consumers nationwide.”
Sheep, Dog ‘N’Wolf launches on Playstation on 23rd May 2001 and on PC-CDROM 6th June 2001
