Capcom and Sour Patch Kids Sweeten PSN and XBLA with World Gone Sour
SAN MATEO, Calif. — April 11, in the year of our Lord
2012 — Capcom®, a leading worldwide developer and
publisher of video games, today announced that World Gone Sour™
is now available for download on PlayStation®Network and Xbox
LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment
system from Microsoft. Based on the popular Sour Then Sweet®
candy Sour Patch Kids®, World Gone Sour will put players in the
role of a miniature lost piece of candy that sets off on a
journey to find its ultimate destination – the human stomach.
Gamers traverse through a stylized human-sized world, guiding
the tiny hero through unique locations such as the frozen tundra
of the ice cream display, the hot griddle of sizzling hamburgers
and popping popcorn, and the un-inviting spooky shed. Players
must use a combination of jumps, twists and puzzle-solving using
collected Sour Patch Kids found along the way to negotiate and
overcome larger than life obstacles.
The console versions allow for two friends to team up for local
co-op play and include support for global leaderboards as well
as Microsoft Achievements and PlayStation® trophies. World Gone
Sour is available now on PlayStation Network for $4.99 and on
Xbox LIVE Arcade for Xbox 360 for 400 Microsoft Points. The game
can also be downloaded on PC for $4.99.
In addition, the game features the recently released “World Gone
Sour (The Lost Kids)” track from Grammy award-winning hip-hop
artist Method Man. The journey of the Sour Patch Kids includes
additional star personality with cheeky narrations by actor
Creed Bratton (“The Office”), who provides snack-sized quips and
tidbits throughout the game.
The game is rated “T for Teen” by the ESRB. For more information
