You know that hit ABC show"Wipeout" featuring a whole bunch of crazy people who volunteer to have the snot beaten out of them in an insanely difficult obstacle course? Have you ever wanted to be one of those crazy people? You know, really getting stuck in there - running, ducking, dodging and totally wiping out? Well staffers at Elepharts resolutely DO NOT want to - though we really do love laughing heartily watching the people who do. Well, all of us big chickens here and any of you other wipeout wannabes will be able to have a go at it in the comfort of your own living room this summer thanks to Activision and ABC who have created Wipeout In the Zone for Kinect - controller-free games and entertainment - on Xbox 360.
"The ABC hit show Wipeout continues to thrill a growing fan base of viewers with hilarious new obstacles. Everyone who watches the show wishes they could try the obstacle course — and now this is their chance!" said David Oxford, Activision Publishing. "The show is all about absurd movement and well-timed balance, so it's a perfect fit for a Kinect game."
Wipeout In the Zone features over thirty outrageous obstacles that will test players' limits in more ridiculous ways than ever. Players can try to run the entire course in one shot, conquering one challenge after another, such as leaping over a pool of water using the infamous "Big Balls" and maneuvering their players to avoid being pummeled by the "Smack Wall Sweeper." Once again featuring the talents and hilarious commentary of the show's hosts, John Anderson, John Henson and co-host Jill Wagner, Wipeout In the Zone will bring hours upon hours of fun and laughter for the entire family.
"We are thrilled to be continuing our successful relationship with ABC and Activision," said David Goldberg, Chairman of Endemol North America. "Not only is this new 'Wipeout' game filled with even more humor, spills and thrills, but now the entire family can play interactively with the new full motions capabilities. This game introduces a new level of excitement for Wipeout fans of all ages to play."
Wipeout In The Zone will be Kinect ready for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and available on retail shelves this summer in conjunction with the premier of Wipeout's summer season on ABC.
