Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster Gets a Launch Trailer
Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster is nearly upon us, and although the GodisaGeek.com review is currently still in progress, Warner Bros. have today released a launch trailer for the game, in HD no less.
Looking like fun for all the family, a combination of a great license and fantastic development team (Double Fine) means this really does have the potential to be something special for Kinect. Just in case you missed it, you should also check out the video of Tim Schafer trying to pitch a videogame to the Cookie Monster. If you’re a fan of Mr Schafer, you could even check out our retrospective on him!
Developed by award-winning Double Fine Productions, Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster is a truly original interactive experience where young players join Cookie Monster, Elmo and other Sesame Street characters as they explore a living storybook titled Once Upon a Monster. In the book, they meet new, lovable monsters from the Once Upon a Monster world, forge friendships and learn key life skills along the way. Parents and children literally become part of the storybook adventure by getting active together through dancing, jumping, flying and more.
“Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster is a very engaging title, which provides families with young kids a quality experience unlike anything they have seen before,” said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President, Production and Development, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “Full of life lessons, like building friendships and overcoming fears, the game combines the values and appeal of the beloved Sesame Street brand with Double Fine Productions’ talent for creating lush and exciting worlds; delivering a fun game that parents can feel good about purchasing.”
“I’ve been promising this game to my daughter for a long time,” said Tim Schafer, President and CEO of Double Fine Productions. “I’m very grateful to Warner Bros., Sesame Workshop, and the extremely dedicated team behind Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster for helping me make good on that promise to her, and to every family that’s been waiting for this great chance to play together.”
Guided by a social and emotional curriculum set forth from Sesame Workshop, the non-profit educational organization behind Sesame Street, young players engage in activities that promote lifelong lessons about making friends, cooperation, recognizing and labeling emotions, and so much more.
Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster is set for release this Friday, only on Xbox 360 with Kinect.
