In addition to getting a new series on Kids’ WB! on The CW, cartoon icons Tom and Jerry are going interactive with a new video game from Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and publisher Eidos Interactive. Eidos will handle North American and European distribution of Tom and Jerry Tales, which is scheduled to launch this fall for the Nintendo DS system and Game Boy Advance handheld gaming systems.
Developed by Sensory Sweep Studios, Tom and Jerry Tales continues the game of cat-and-mouse as players take on the role of Jerry and try to outwit hapless housecat Tom. In his quest to return safely to the mouse hole, Jerry must avoid booby traps and out-maneuver his long-time mortal enemy. The game promises to deliver vast, colorful environments and an original art style as it captures the fun of the time-honored toon series.
Eidos Interactive was recently acquired by SCi Entertainment Group Plc, and has beefed up its offerings with Tomb Raider: Legend, Conflict: Global Storm, Hitman: Blood Money, Championship Manager, Just Cause, Battlestations: Midway, Urban Chaos: Riot Response. The company has also picked up interactive rights to the Reservoir Dogs and Highlander film properties.
