Europe
: Kuju Entertainment announced that it’s recently developed
Crash Twinsanity has reached the No.1 spot*.
The
game is co-published by Wonderphone and Vivendi Universal Games and
has released exclusively on a selection of Third Generation (3G) handsets
that accompany the commercial launch of Vodafone’s live! with
3G service.
Kuju used its
extensive knowledge of 3D game development on PlayStationÔ 2,
Xbox and PC to ensure the popular Crash Bandicoot® character is
brought to life in full 3D glory for the first time on java-enabled
handsets that support true 3D graphic rendering. Specifically, this
will concern the following Vodafone 3G handsets:
Motorola E1000,
V980, C980
Nokia 6630
SonyEricsson V800
Sharp 802 SH,
902 SH
Toshiba V902T
Kevin Holloway,
Director of Publishing for Kuju Entertainment enthused, ‘We’re
delighted to have worked on such a popular license, and for it to
be one of the first 3D games available when Vodafone launches Vodafone
live! with 3G is very exciting. The communication tie-in we experienced
with both Wonderphone and Vivendi Universal Games also enabled us
to extend the fun and feel of the console game to the mobile game.
A Wonderphone
spokesperson said, “Working with Kuju Entertainment on this
project has been an enjoyable process. Kuju was able to capture the
intricacies of rendering Vivendi Universal Game’s world famous
Crash Bandicoot character and to overcome the technical challenges
of the new 3D technology on mobile handsets. Both Wonderphone and
Vivendi Universal Games are very pleased with the results and believe
that we have extended the reach of the world’s most famous marsupial
by bringing him to this new 3D platform”.
