After alluring television viewers, the hit series dubbed House M.D. is on its way to amuse gamers. Legacy Interactive has released a new video game with the same title for the PC. Based on the TV show, this game is set within the periphery of a hospital and requires players to crack medical mysteries.
“We are thrilled to be publishing a game based on such a popular and high quality brand like House M.D.,” beamed Ariella Lehrer, President and CEO of Legacy Interactive. “We knew from the beginning it would be a challenge to live up to the show’s high standards, but our team did a great job and it shows in every part of the game experience, from the detailed character art to the hilarious script.”
This title is an amalgam of light adventure gameplay with mini-games and lab tests, allowing gamers to experience the life and times of the characters that feature in the show. Interacting with Dr. House and his team at the Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital, players will need to solve five medical cases at rapid pace. The game stars all the eight characters from the show and presents over 100 mind-bending puzzles as well as mini-games.
“Legacy Interactive has become a leader in TV-based interactive games, and we are happy to extend our relationship with them through the House M.D. title. With its quirky characters, witty writing and diverse array of challenging puzzles, the game is true to the House brand and puts a twist on both the medical sim and puzzle gaming genres,” enunciated Bill Kispert, VP & GM, Digital Platforms, Universal Partnerships & Licensing.
Gamers will need to unravel the medical history of their patients as they diagnose the problem. On their mission to resolve a case, they can also interrogate patients’ friends and family members, conduct lab tests and perform surgeries. Finally, the case can be concluded by chipping together the evidence and careful observing as well as analyzing symptoms.
Developed by Legacy Games, the title has been licensed through Universal partnership & Licensing on behalf of NBA Universal Television Consumer Products Group. House M.D. is now available for download from the official Legacy Games website. In addition, USA Network is offering a free 30-minute trial of this game on their casual/social gaming destination, ‘Character Arcade.’ The television show makes a return on September 20, 2010 for Fox and is also broadcasted on USA Network.
