Igor will be coming out for the PC, DS, WIi and mobile sometime in October. The video above was shown at GC 08, and even though it is the trailer for the movie - it should still give you an idea of what to expect from the game as far as the looks of it go anyway.
Hopefully the trailer will not lock up on you during that damn Bangkok Dangerous ad like it did for me.. I am so sick of seeing that. Every time I hear Nicholas Cage say “My name’s Joe… this is what I do” I want to punch someone in the neck. Seriously, I hate that guy.
Igor, is the upcoming animated movie which follows a hunchbacked lab assistant named Igor (voiced by John Cusack) forced to serve a mad scientist while dreaming of one day becoming a notorious mad scientist himself and winning the Evil Science Fair. Other stars contributing their voice talents to the film are Molly Shannon (Eva), John Cleese ( Dr. Glickenstein), Steve Buscemi (Scamper), Sean Hayes (Brain) and Eddie Izzard (the maniacal Dr. Schadenfreude).
In the Wii and PC versions of the game, players have the ability to choose one of the main characters (Igor, Eva, Scamper or Brain) and play either simultaneously or cooperatively with up to four people. They’ll be challenged to play within locales from the film, fight enemies and achieve goals that advance them through the storyline.
Here is the list of stars appearing in the movie, just in case you are curious or have nothing else better to do:
John Cusack - Igor (voice)
Steve Buscemi - Scamper (voice)
Christian Slater- Dr. Schadenfreude’s Igor (voice)
Jennifer Coolidge - Jaclyn (voice)
Eddie Izzard - Dr. Schadenfreude (voice)
John Cleese - Dr. Glickenstein (voice)
Sean Hayes - Brain (voice)
Molly Shannon - Eva (voice)
Jay Leno - King Malbert (voice)
Arsenio Hall - Carl Cristall (voice)
James Lipton - Himself
Paul Vogt - Fly-headed Guy (voice)
In the Nintendo DS game based on the movie, you will use the stylus to perform movement combos, combat enemies and solve puzzles. Players can custom build their own monsters to take on puzzle challenges and battle against other mad scientists.
***UPDATE: Could not get GameVideos to work so I posted the YouTube version just in case others had the same issue***

Isn’t that the general idea of trailers? Stephany wins this weeks “Captain Obvious” award.
Thanks Thor. That is especially comforting considering the trailer is for the movie not the game.
I always wondered whatever happened to Arsenio Hall……I guess he is still alive after all…
Go Marlins!!!!
