News: Al Gore would be proud.
Mixing equal parts Pikmin and Captain Planet, Majesco's Eco Creatures: Save the Forest will bring its eco-friendly message to DS owners in early 2008.
Developed by Lightweight Co. and Headlock Corporation, Eco Creatures tasks players with recapturing polluted sections of Mana Woods. Players will have to manage three different types of woodland creatures with the stylus (Ecolis, Ecoby and Ecomon) and use their unqiue abilities to defend the forest.
"Eco Creatures is distinctive in its ability to weave meaningful issues into a fun video game experience that makes the player a champion for the environment," said Ken Gold, vice president of Marketing, Majesco. "Noble mission aside, endearing creatures, resource management, magic, level creation and multiplayer features make Eco Creatures a deep and engaging real- time strategy game for any DS player."
Eco Creatures will also feature over 40 missions, a map editor, two-player Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection play and four-player local play.
We'll have more soon.
