The Kore Gang is an action adventure game for the Wii.
In the game, you take control of three different characters stuck inside robotic suit that amplifies their individual abilities. The main feature of the game is that you can switch between the three characters at any time, and thus can utilize and combine their abilities to solve puzzles and errants as you progress through the storyline and levels. The game is noteworthy for its quirky humor and off-the-wall character design and artwork.
The story revolves around the evil Krank Brothers, evil rulers of a civilization that exists in the center of the Earth. The player -- with the help of the three playable characters Pixie, Madboy, and Rex -- must stop the Kranks from carrying out their plan to conquer the surface of the planet as well. Hence the game's tag line, "Outvasion from Inner Space".

History

The game was originally conceived by designer Klaus Lyngeled, formerly of Shiny Entertainment. He quit his job at Shiny to found his own company, Zoink Games, in order to be able work full-time on this project.
Zoink teamed up with Swedish developer Unique Development Studios and began to develop a version of the game for the Microsoft Xbox. In 2003, CDV obtained the publishing rights, but had to drop the project soon after due to financial difficulties.
In 2006, independent production house Games Foundation obtained a license to develop the game for the Wii and signed developer SnapDragon Games for the task. Pixonauts KG ultimately obtained the publishing rights[ and released the game in August 2010 in Germany. Releases in France (through Tradewest) and the US (through Atari) followed.

The PAL version is multi-language and contains English, German, French and Spanish voices-overs.

Dai primi minuti del video ricorda un pochino Psychonauts. O_o

[Turrican3]

Vero!

Ma temo non abbia nemmeno un briciolo dei colpi di genio...

[Blasor]

Psychonauts giusto per lo stile direi... ma seguo lo sviluppo di questo fin dall'annuncio, quando era anche PC, per cui mi fa piacere sia finalmente uscito. In realtà sarà più di un anno, ma solo in Germania

Un altro "caso Giana Sisters DS" ?!

[Blasor]

Esattamente. Infatti giusto per avere anche scatola e manuale in inglese pensavo di prenderlo USA, che viene anche molto meno al cambio. Anche perché in UK sembra ancora non sia distribuito ufficialmente, figurarsi in Italia. Il gioco pal comunque è multi-4 (manca l'italiano), come si dice anche nel primo post.

Risultati del genere, per giochi che hanno processi di sviluppo così problematici, fanno sempre piacere. Tra l'altro presso Amazon risulta multi-4 anche scatola e manuale, oltre il gioco, della versione pal.
