Activision announces Space Camp for Nintendo DS and Wii

Both the Nintendo DS and Wii get some more attention from Activision, as the publisher today announced Space Camp for both platforms. First facts and some screenshots on the Wii version can be found inside...

Activision has announced the June release of Space Camp for Wii and Nintendo DS. Packed with accessible space age mini-games and multiplayer options, it's not rocket science to launch an unforgettable gameplay session!

In Space Camp, you begin as an aspiring astronaut in training. After rocketing yourself to the moon, you must engage in a series of futuristic, furiously fun missions in order to return home to Earth. With the help of your own robot, you will perform activities like scientific experimentation, controlling spacecraft and even defending the moon from invaders.

"What could be more fun than playing as an astronaut in a videogame?" said David Oxford of Activision. "This scenario offers a new perspective on using Wii and DS controls to craft a truly fresh, family friendly gameplay experience."

In addition to the robust single player mode, there are several multiplayer options available on the Wii. Cooperative Mode allows one player to control the main character while a second can interact with environment. For crews of more than two, Party Mode offers the opportunity for up to four players to take part in raucous competitive mini-game tournaments set on both the Earth and lunar locales.

"We are excited to be partnered with Activision on this project," said Larry Capps, CEO of the U.S. Space & Rocket Center. "Thousands dream of going to space and this game gives you that chance to virtually explore and have fun with your friends and family."

Thought Activision were going to put more thought and effort into their Wii titles? Seems they've become what EA used to be. That's not to say they haven't released any decent games recently, just that they're not as good as they used to be (and they dropped Ghostbusters which will hopefully prove to be a big mistake for them).

Can't wait for Ghostbusters myself.

Like wise. Think I'll be getting both the Wii version and perhaps the 360 version. Big Ghostbuster fan so would be wrong for me not to buy the game
