Descripción del fabricante
Since the dawn of time mankind has wondered who would win if a polar bear and
a jellyfish teamed up to fight an armadillo and a yak. True, historically this
is an unlikely match up, but that was before Hail to the Chimp. Hail
to the Chimp is a no holds barred mini-game battleground pitting player vs.
player with the new leadership of the animal kingdom on the line. Filled with
fast action accommodating up to four players, good-natured non-stop political
humor and satirical commentary on the mass media’s infatuation with
infotainment, it’s the perfect party game for every political animal.

Hit the Campaign Trailolitically themed mini-games set in
various environments in which players scramble to collect as many clams (votes)
as possible. The more clams a player has the more damage your character can dish
out and take. Just a few of the available character are:
Name: Ptolemy the Hippo
Home: Egypt
Bio: Ptolemy lives in a world where the 1970's never stopped. With unique
style and charisma by the truckload, this happenin' Hippo wants to return Hippos
(more directly, himself) to the top of the Animal Kingdom. |
Name: Toshiro the Octopus
Home: Japan
Bio: A samurai octopus, Toshiro's logic is simple – most of the world is
water and therefore ocean-based animals are the dominant life form. A highly
trained warrior and scholar, Toshiro's campaign is as elegant as it is ruthless. |
Name: Santo the armadillo
Home: New Mexico, US
Bio: Born in the deserts of New Mexico, Santo was a painter before he
joined the campaign. He thinks politicians and artists have a lot in common -
prima donnas and shysters, the lot of them - and he's here to keep it real.
|
Name: Murgatroyd the Jellyfish
Home: Unknown
Bio: Not much is known about Murgatroyd as her garbled pronouncements are
completely indecipherable. This is a solid campaign strategy, as many animals
assume her views are similar to their own. Mysterious, perplexing and lovable,
Murgatroyd could be the underdog of this race. |
Name: Crackers the Monkey
Home: Congo
Bio: Crackers was the right-hand monkey to the King Lion before he was
ousted from the throne. Rumor has it that Crackers' whole campaign is a ruse
designed to restore his old boss to the throne, ensuring a cushy lifestyle for
his favorite monkey. |
Although this is the animal kingdom's first attempt at democracy it doesn't take
these candidates long to figure out that the goal is to win at all costs. With
that in mind players are free go at it alone or team up with competitors to gang
up on the rest of the field. Each combination of characters creates a different
special move that unless stopped, can decimate opponents, dashing presidential
hopes and making an election year debate look like a tea party.
The GRR News Network
Taking political humor and satire to new levels, at least for a video game,
Hail to the Chimp also features its own news coverage, the GRR News Network.
Hosted by anchor Woodchuck Chumley, not only does GRR keep track of player
standings in the election and broadcast candidates victory speeches direct from
the podium, it also holds a wealth of additional game content regarding the
candidates and their platforms. This mix of TV smears ads, talk show segments
and commercials are in part available immediately on entry into the game and
unlockable as the game progresses, providing relentless humor and hours worth of
additional play time to a game destined to become a hit in every state whether
red or blue.
