THQ and Twentieth Century Fox have announced that the Rio video game, now available in the UK for DS, PS3, Wii and Xbox 360, will launch in North America tomorrow, April 12th.
On the Wii and PS3 systems, up to four players can compete with each other in 40 mini-games as one of the six playable characters from the film: Blu, Jewel, Pedro, Nico, Raphael, and Eva.
The Xbox 360 platform offers three additional exclusive mini-games. Players can compete in five unique modes as they journey through Rio to win first place at the Carnival ceremony.
Rio also features quick “jump in, jump out” gameplay, allowing players to enter and exit a game as they please – making it perfect for family and party fun.
The Nintendo DS version offers a completely different experience from the console version via a rhythm-based adventure. As the main character from the film, Blu, players can use their stylus to discover Latin and hip hop beats as they navigate through 20 levels and seven awe-inspiring locations. RIo also features four fun mini-games where players will be able to party with the other characters from the film: Blu, Jewel and Luis.
