Tornado

Stylus/microphone-controlled collect-'em-up from Zoo Keeper developer Success.

June 13, 2008 - Glendale, Calif. - Ignition Entertainment, a UTV Enterprise and worldwide publisher and developer of videogames, announced today that they have partnered with developer Success to bring Tornado to North America, exclusively for Nintendo DS™.

Tornado lets players join forces with Toki and the other members of the Cosmic Cleaners as they set out to restore all of Earth's buildings, vehicles, inhabitants and other obscure objects that have been stolen by the envious Prince using his mischievous "Black Hole Device." Using a combination of stylus and microphone activated controls, players will travel across Planet 69 as they level up and max out their "Tornado Machines" to literally uproot everything in their paths in effort to take back what Prince has wrongfully stolen and return it to Earth.

"After the successes of Zoo Keeper on DS, we at Ignition Entertainment are thrilled be working with the talented team over at Success once again," said Ajay Chadha, President of Ignition Entertainment. "Their skill at developing fun and creative games has never ceased to amaze us."

Aside from featuring a fun-filled and action-packed Story Mode, Tornado also offers several other modes of gameplay including:

• Arcade Mode, where players can go back to levels that they have completed in Story Mode to wreak havoc and pickup item that were previously missed.

• Battle Mode, in which players can challenge a friend wirelessly and go head-to-head in a bout of mutual collecting.

• Bonus Mode, where players can view everything they've collected in Story and Arcade modes and listen to the soundtrack pieces they've collected.

Look for Tornado to sweep into stores this fall.
