Credit: JupiterImages."If you can dream it, you can build it," enthuses Majesco Entertainment regarding the upcoming arrival of what many might view as a gaming experience with a strictly limited market appeal. That being said, with developer Budcat Creations (Guitar Hero III, Psychonauts, Medal of Honor: Vanguard) at the helm, Majesco believes that ‘Our House’ will exist as the "ultimate creation tool that lets players design, build and decorate their own personalised trophy home," which they can then share with others via an online ‘Our House’ neighbourhood."Few things are as exciting as building and personalizing a home of your own, and only the innovative Wii Remote makes it possible to hammer every nail and paint every wall," trumpets John Merchant, marketing manager at Majesco Europe. "We believe Our House’s combination of unique subject matter, endless creativity and competitive multiplayer fun will resonate with players of all ages."
Interested? Those of you nodding enthusiastically at this juncture can look forward to the following game features:* The only game that lets you build or remodel your home and turn it into a unique creation! True modular house construction enables endless combinations that create personalized trophy homes with countless upgrades * Shop for materials in the Home Store, build your house, then decorate it to add the most value to your house before your friends maximize their own house value * Earn money for materials and build your dream house by using the Wii Remote to play games related to six Home Store departments * Party Mode lets you jump right in and play all of the games without the actual construction * Supports 4-player gameplay for hours of family fun! * Features WiiConnect24 support for the literal community-building within The Neighborhood ModeThe general gist of ‘Our House’ is that players shop for raw materials in the Home Store before then utilising the motion-sensing aspects of the Wii Remote to "hammer, saw, paint, tile, and much more as they assemble and decorate their family dwelling." And the fun doesn’t stop there, with players able to take their creativity and channel it into exterior and landscaping upgrades to fully enhance the worth of their property in the overall online neighbourhood.Note: Our House (in the middle of our street) has nothing whatsoever to do with legendary 80’s ska band Madness.
