New Beat-'Em-Up Boasts Monsters, Mayhem and Meat Meteor Showers to
Spice up Your Spring EDISON, N.J., Jan. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Ahoy Matey! Pull up anchor and get ready to set sail in search of
stolen booty as Majesco Entertainment Company (NASDAQ:COOL), an
innovative provider of video games for the mass market, today
announced Pirates Plund-Arrr for Wii(TM). In this fun and frantic
beat-'em-up, players hunt the high seas for the renegade captain
Rudebelly who has stolen the Scepter of Power and unleashed an army
of cursed dead, ghastly ghouls and menacing bosses. In Pirates
Plund-Arrr, players will fight through creature-filled areas like a
murky swamp, an underwater city, and a haunted village to
ultimately face-off against the scallywag Rudebelly and retrieve
their stolen treasure. It's serious business in a game that doesn't
take itself too seriously: would-be pirates can ride warthogs for
"drive-by style" attacks, battle hulking slug bosses and trigger
meat meteor showers raining down from above. These cute, but
dangerous, swashbucklers will take on more than 40 diverse enemies
- including skeletons, slimefish, mummies and lots of other nasties
that want to ruin an otherwise pleasant Caribbean adventure. Good
thing players have cool combo attacks and a bounty of weapons, from
razor-sharp meat cleavers to flaming axes, to ensure that mowing
down monsters never gets old! Players can also use the environment
to their advantage by picking up rocks and barrels to hurl or
simply snatching up the baddies themselves to toss them overboard.
As players progress, they'll gain XP points that will earn them
perks and upgrades that will cause more damage to enemies. In
addition, Pirates Plund-Arrr, lets 4 mates plunder together for
co-op, beat-em action! Developed by Boomzap, Pirates Plund-Arrr for
Wii(TM) is expected to release this April. For additional
