Naughty Bear Excitement


One upcoming game that has really caught my eye is Naughty Bear. I have a strange affection for cute cartoon characters destroying each other and one such game that I have enjoyed recently is Fairytale Fights. Naughty Bear appears to be even more cute and even more destructive than Fairytale Fights so it looks like it's going to be a winner for me.

Developed by Artificial Mind and Movement and published by 505 Games, Naughty Bear is being created for the 360 and the PS3. Set on 'Perfection Island' Naughty Bear is the only bear that doesn't belong. With his rough fur and ripped edges he is far from perfect and this leads to him being picked on by the other bears. Unfortunately for Naughty Bear this bullying does not merely involve them ignoring but actively trying to rid the island of him. So what choice does a stuffed bear have but to fight back?

Naughty Bear is an open world game with several objectives to complete. The player must constantly be trying to accumulate naughty points but this can be done in any way imaginable. You can beat up bears, scare them so they call the police, vandalise property or even torture them so they commit suicide! The other bears AI will adapt depending on your behaviour and throughout the game costumes can be unlocked which will cause the bears to act differently towards you.

Naughty Bear has all the makings of a great game. Endearing characters, intriguing storyline and random creative violence. Certainly one to watch out for....
