14 DAY TRIAL // Vivendi Universal Games today announced that its newly formed wireless division will launch five new mobile games based on its popular global franchises. The first two games, Sierra Entertainment's SWAT Force and Larry'sTM Sexy Pinball, will be available to consumers starting in July 2005. The other three titles will also launch in 2005; additional details will be announced at a later date. WonderPhone will distribute all five games in Europe, South and Central America, Africa, New Zealand, Singapore, Kuwait, Bahrain and Fiji. VU Games will also launch the five titles in North America shortly following.
Two new mobile titles from Sierra Entertainment will launch this month:
SWAT Force is a tactical squad game based on the popular SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) franchise, which has sold more than two million units in the PC games market. New to the mobile platform, SWAT Force demands the same degree of tactical finesse as the PC version and features seven authentic crisis situations. Established in the early 1970's in Los Angeles, SWAT is a rapid intervention police force that handles the most delicate crises such as hostage and terrorist situations.
Larry'sTM Sexy Pinball is a wild pinball game based on the hugely successful Leisure Suit Larry franchise. Larry's Sexy Pinball is the sequel to Leisure Suit LarryTM: Magna Cum Laude distributed by WonderPhone in November 2004. This time around, Larry will attempt to seduce beautiful women on a wild pinball table designed by Larry himself. Authentic pinball action and Larry's unique humor are presented in this classic arcade game. Leisure Suit Larry is one of the well-known characters in the video game industry, whose lovable humor has struck a chord with gamers for more than two decades.
VU Games' current mobile games offerings are live across 70 operators in 40 countries through a current distribution agreement with WonderPhone. These titles include: Crash Nitro Kart, Spyro Ripto Quest, Leisure Suite Larry Magna Cum Laude and Crash Twinsanity.
