EA brings some adventure – Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure

EA, also known to some people as Electronic Arts, has been more than kind to the world with how much love it gives for video games. And when there’s an adventure game involved that they might want to put out, that’s where I come in.

EA has announced a new game for the DS and it has one of the weirdest names for a game that I have ever seen. Yes, my friends, EA has created Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure, which according to the press release is “the ultimate fun, quirky game that intertwines platform and puzzle genres”.

Here’s the story for the funkily titled game:

Meet Henry Hatsworth, a quirky, light-hearted character who players will guide on their journey through a new style of gaming adventure on their Nintendo DS. In this two-in-one adventure, players will explore five exotic worlds, fight a variety of opponents, and venture through more than 30 levels, including nearly a dozen hidden levels while taking on outrageous world-ending bosses. The separate worlds on the two Nintendo DS screens have a cause and effect inter-relationship, and players choose when to switch between conquering the action-platform realm and mastering the increasingly challenging puzzle world. A wide variety of power-ups will help Hatsworth in both of these worlds. Players will complete puzzle combinations and defeat puzzle enemies in order to gain power ups, health, and energy to supercharge Hatsworth in his adventure.

So, there will be puzzles, adventures and hats. You know, the world would be a sad place without hats.

The game will be out early 2009.
