Ubisoft goes kid-friendly with Cosmic Family for Wii |
Ó
The name of the game is Cosmic Family, a space adventure game that has the player navigating around the Cosmic family's spaceship, completing 15 types of early-learning minigames and teaching kids some basic skills at the same time. Players will presumably use the Wiimote to finish the games, making this feel like a well-implemented console version of a decidedly computer-and-mouse type game.
Parents who want to get away from adding another gory game for their home entertainment center will probably see this as a great move. "Cosmic Family is a great title for young Wii players and their families, with simple point-and-click controls that will be easy to learn and provide the freedom to navigate wherever players choose to go," said Tony Key, Ubisoft's VP for Marketing. "Families will enjoy playing this game together, as it unfolds more like an interactive adventure than a traditional video game."
It's definitely not meant for those people who were hoping to frag things or see people die in a blaze of gunfire. Then again, Nintendo has a penchant for picking up off-beat titles and making them hits. It might be a niche market for this sort of game, but it's a trend we wouldn't mind seeing on a console.
