Who would win if a polar bear and a jellyfish teamed up to fight an armadillo and a yak? Find out with Hail to the Chimp, a no holds barred mini-game battleground pitting player vs. player with the leadership of the animal kingdom on the line. It's filled with fast action for up to four players, good-natured non-stop political humor and satirical commentary. A rambunctious group of candidates have appeared to take over the rule of the Lion. Hail to the Chimp features ten playable characters from every corner of the animal kingdom. Each has its own strengths, weaknesses, political platforms and agendas. In a series of politically themed mini-games set in various environments, you'll scramble to collect as many clams (votes) as possible. The more clams you have, the more damage your character can dish out and take. Characters include: Ptolemy the Hippo, Toshiro the Octopus, Santo the Armadillo, Murgatroyd the Jellyfish, and Crackers the Monkey. Go it alone or team up with competitors to gang up on the rest of the field. Each combination of characters creates a different special move. Hail to the Chimp also has its own news coverage, the GRR News Network hosted by Woodchuck Chumley. The GRR keeps track of player standings and broadcasts candidates victory speeches. It also holds plenty of additional game content. This mix of TV smears ads, talk show segments and commercials are in part available immediately on entry into the game and unlockable as the game progresses, providing relentless humor and hours worth of additional play time.
