Video Gaming News - September 2004
Santa Monica, CA (September 29, 2004) - Activision announced today
that Shark Tale is now shipping.
From Activision:
Find out what happens when a fast-talking fish tells a great white lie in
DreamWorks' Shark Tale video game, available now from Activision. Featuring a
hip underwater culture and funky tunes, gamers immerse themselves in the world
of Reef City as they step into the fins of Oscar, a bigger-than-life little fish
that is constantly "fin-agling" his way out of trouble. Players will dance,
race, fight, explore and brave their way through more than 25 movie-inspired and
game exclusive levels.
DreamWorks' Shark Tale for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, the
Xbox® video game system from Microsoft and the Nintendo GameCube(tm) is
available for a suggested retail price of $49.99. Both the Game Boy® Advance and
PC versions feature unique game play with their own adventures and carry a
suggested retail price of $29.99 each. The game has been rated "E" for Everyone
by the ESRB.
"DreamWorks' Shark Tale gives players an expanded view of Reef City where they
can interact with their favorite movie characters and experience new
adventures," said Kathy Vrabeck, president, Activision Publishing. "With dance
pad compatibility and a cool, hip-hop soundtrack, players of all ages will be
able to enjoy this game."
In the PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions of DreamWorks' Shark Tale, players can
plug in a dance pad and truly get into the groove. Points earned while busting
moves to the uniquely choreographed dance missions help Oscar make a name for
himself and allow players to unlock special items. Whether getting funky in a
dance challenge, or dodging traffic while careening through the bustling
metropolis of Reef City, players will experience the vibe of the movie thanks to
remixed and licensed R&B, funk, reggae and hip-hop music from top artists.
In DreamWorks' Shark Tale, Oscar is a little fish who dreams big, but his dreams
land him in hot water when a great white lie turns him into an unlikely hero. At
first, his fellow fish swallow Oscar's story hook, line and sinker and he is
showered with fame and fortune. It's all going along swimmingly, until it starts
to become clear that Oscar's tale about being the defender of the Reef is all
wet. Oscar is finding out that being a hero comes at a Market Price when his lie
threatens to make him the Catch of the Day. Now he has to tread water until he
can get the scales to tip back in his favor again. DreamWorks' upcoming feature
film, "Shark Tale," opens nationwide this October 1.
