Doctor Who Wii 'was a tough challenge' - Asylum

Doctor Who: Return To Earth's associate producer has told ONM that making the forthcoming Wii action game was a tough challenge.

The challenge faced by Asylum, the developers of Return To Earth, was to create an action game in which the main character doesn't use a weapon to see off his enemies.


"This was indeed a tough challenge at first when designing the Wii game being that it is a 3D action adventure," said Glen Parry.

"However it was obvious that the Sonic Screwdriver is a wonderfully versatile tool, which suits the Wii Remote perfectly, and has the ability to fire sonic blasts which the Doctor can use to manipulate platforms, environmental hazards, fix circuitry, distract adversaries and more.

"It also allowed us to emphasise gameplay aspects containing stealth, the environment and the use of distraction devices."

Did the lack of weapons cause problems for Evacuation Earth on DS as well? "The DS game is a puzzle adventure so has an entirely different pace and gameplay feel to it," continued Parry. "This game is more of a cerebral challenge as there are puzzles to solve and items to combine and use to progress the story."
