"January 29, 2008 - Development studio Backbone may be best known today for its upcoming Xbox Live Arcade recreation of Capcom's famous fighting franchise: Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. However, that's not all the company is working on. In addition to making software for Xbox Live Arcade and even the iPod, Backbone also has an original title in the works for Wii. It's called Monster Lab and we recently caught up with producer Kelly Tainton to learn all about it. We've also included first screenshots and videos in our media section."
Nintendo Life writes: "Despite a few minor shortcomings Monster Lab is a great 3rd party effort for the Wii which has solid controls that make great use of the Remote and will appeal to a broad age range. Kudos to Eidos and Backbone Entertainment for this excellent offering on the Wii, which will hopefully inspire other developers to turn out quality titles".
Baron Mharti is large and in charge! With a nasty habit of being extra cruel, the Baron has taken over and it's up to you to beat the evil Baron Mharti and his band of wacky creatures. With the help of a few zany experiments, over 150 monster parts, and some crazy mini-games, create your very own army of twisted monsters and battle it out with the Baron.
WorthPlaying writes: "There are certain games that become the gold standard against which all other games are compared. With all of the Wii titles, the golden standard, surprisingly, has always been Wii Sports. For a free game included with the console, it served as the best example of how the controllers should function within a game. With Monster Lab, however, I think I've found a new benchmark."
very interesting game.. hope the controls work well..
