Eidos' Whiplash(TM) Smashes Its Way Into Retail Nationwide Today
Hilarious Action Game Starring Chained Animal Duo Spanx and Redmond
Now Available on The PlayStation(R)2 Computer Entertainment System
and The Xbox(R) Video Game System From Microsoft SAN FRANCISCO,
Nov. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Eidos plc , one of the world's
leading publishers and developers of entertainment software, today
announced that it has shipped Whiplash for PlayStation(R)2 computer
entertainment system and Xbox(R) video game system to retailers in
North America. Developed by Crystal Dynamics, Whiplash delivers an
innovative approach to the character-based action genre by
combining a unique "chain" gameplay mechanic with in-depth enemy
and environment interaction, rich combat and slapstick humor. The
result is an action-packed game where player choice triggers an
unscripted chain of chaotic, humorous events. Whiplash is set in a
high-tech product testing facility where questionable experiments
are conducted on animals. This madcap adventure stars two animal
fugitives, Spanx and Redmond, with two very different
personalities. As a result of extensive electric-shock testing,
Spanx is a loose cannon with a crazy streak. Redmond is a
smart-alecky rabbit who has been the subject of some embarrassing
cosmetics testing. Both characters are trying to escape the lab.
There's one problem however -- they're chained together. As Spanx,
you will use Redmond (much to his dismay), as your tool and weapon
to not only escape, but also to free other enslaved animals and
bankrupt the corporation by destroying their property. For example,
dip Redmond in toxic waste to poison enemies (Radioactive Rabbit),
shock him to zap attackers (Electro-Static Rabbit), or stuff him in
a toilet creating a foul flood to ward off foes (Hare Clog).
"Whiplash's comically mismatched heroes, side-splitting humor,
clever game mechanics and non-stop frenetic action provides a
completely fresh and insanely fun experience for gamers of all
ages," says Renee Pletka, Product Manager, Eidos. For additional
