Nintendo DS: Herbie Rescue

The guys over at Gamers Info sent us a tip on this game for the DS that we had not previously covered. Herbie Rescue was published by Disney Interactive Studios and is rated “E”. It’s definitely a title worth checking out and looks like it’s fun for all ages. I loved the Herbie movies as a kid, so I am sure this title will be appealing for kids these days. There’s just something about VW Bugs that never get old.

Herbie Rescue Rally is a racing game sprinkled with a small connecting story. If you are expecting to play the movie, Herbie Fully Loaded, this isn’t it. The only character really in common between the two is Herbie. Young Louise Noble has taken a job at the Swift Valley Speedway, though she promises her parents she’ll still help out with the animals at the family Animal Sanctuary in the evenings. What she doesn’t yet know is that the E. Vile Corporation is planning to buy the land out from under her family and turn the area into a sewage dump. Oh no! Can Louise and Herbie defeat Edward Vile at the Cross State Grand Prix and save the family homestead? That’s up to you.
