Xplosiv introduces the weird and wonderful world of KAZooK

News from Spong

Decent party games on handheld consoles rule. Well, by this statement what we actually mean is the WarioWare series on GBA and more recently on DS rules, as this is truly the definitive handheld micro-gaming god in the party game arena.

And it’s mainly because we love Wario so, that we were intrigued to hear about a new ‘wickedly wild’ PSP party game called KAZooK, from Britsoft value label Xplosiv.

The press release that just landed in our inbox reads: “Getting into the crazy state of KAZooK means opening your mind to the possibility that anything could happen, and it does!”

The game is a series of 30 mini-games from shmups through to dance games, fighting and racing, featuring 16 predictably ‘wacky’ characters including cool skater kids, scary goths, gangster rappers, sexy beach babes, killer zombies, UFO pilots, sumo wrestlers, pool party-goers and more. Check out the first batch of screens right here.

There are three single player modes – normal, survival and party – plus the Wi-Fi Multiplayer options really do sound pretty impressive, with 27 of the mini-games playable with one of your mates wirelessly, six playable ‘hot-seat’ on one PSP and five of the minigames able to be shared with other PSP’s using only the one game UMD.

James Spice, General Manager over at Xplosiv and all round nice chap tells us, “We are really pleased to be bringing this exciting new party title to our Xplosiv PSP range. Party games are perfect for handhelds, offering intense bursts of gaming and as KAZooK is exclusive to PSP it makes it all the more exciting!”

He added: “KAZooK fits into our strategy of bringing quality PSP titles at a mid price point.” And SPOnG has to agree, what with the game due to hit stores later in October at a mid-range price point. If it’s a quarter of the game that Wario is, then it’s going to be well worth your shelling out £20, for if nothing else, there is a serious dearth of fun, quickfire and downright silly party games on Sony’s console.
