Monster Lab Announced

Eidos has officially announced Monster Lab for the Wii and DS, a brand new action RPG game. Easily understood through the title, the game has players take on the role of an apprentice scientist who must perform a vast array of experiments to create their own monster from over 100 million possible monster part variations on offer. Taking the monster, the player can then search the land of Uncanny Valley for ingredients to make more monster parts, hunting and defeating other monsters, and engage in various other mini-games.

“Monster Lab will offer a wealth of fresh ideas to both Wii and DS players,” said Fabien Rossini, Global Brand Controller, Eidos. “These include gesture based combat, a compelling on-line fighting and trading system and total customization of the player’s monster.”

It will feature online multiplayer combat; the game will also let players collect items and monster parts from other players. Monster Lab will be unleashed later this year.
