Burn
Zombie Burn, available on PlayStation®Network early
Q1 2009.
You play Bruce – an average every-day Joe who
was looking forward to some ‘quality time’
with his girlfriend Daisy. In true B-movie style their
Saturday night is ruined by an invasion of zombies.
Set across six classic American horror movie inspired
levels, Burn Zombie Burn is a third-person shoot-em-up
in the classic coin-op tradition featuring next-gen
game play mechanics, and possessing that ‘one-more-go’
addictiveness which define all of the great shooters.
The aim of the game couldn’t be simpler; shoot,
burn and blow up as many brain munching zombies as possible
using a variety of classic zombie killing weapons before
they overwhelm you. Use fire to build up your multiplier
and then destroy zombies en masse with explosives to
increase that oh-so-important leaderboard high score.
But beware! A burning zombie is a faster zombie –
burn too many and they will burn you!
Burn Zombie Burn is frantic, arcade gaming at its best,
delivering humour and bloody zombie violence in copious
amounts!.
“The idea for Burn Zombie Burn! was to make
a game that captured what the studio is about: “just
one more go” game-play, a raucous sense of humour
and an accessible learning curve coupled with traditional
hardcore depth. Working with Pinnacle gives us the freedom
to make the game we wanted to make, retain the Burn
Zombie Burn! IP and meant that we always had a say in
how the game was handled and represented”, said
Jim Mummery, Creative Director at doublesix.
Peter Sleeman, Managing Director at Pinnacle commented,
“The press response we have already received to
Burn Zombie Burn! demonstrates the calibre of this game
and I have very high hopes for this unique title. This
deal demonstrates how Pinnacle is pursuing its new business
model, allowing developers to have creative control
over its own IP and benefit from the hard work and inspiration
they have put in.”
