Legacy Interactive's House M.D. game, based on the politically incorrect television series by the same name, is set to be released as a PC/Mac downloadable and retail game in February, 2010. The DS version will be available in April, 2010. Is it as politically incorrect and sarcastic as the series?
After previewing the game, Neroli writes, "Good news fans – House is a hilarious, fast-paced medical puzzler, packed with the same dark humor that fans know and love from the TV series, and definitely one game you won't want to miss. Dr. House manages to insult every patient and staff member in the game, delivering lines like, "Awww, stop, I'm getting all sentimental, and I'm going to stab myself in the eye with this syringe just to make you shut up!" Then of course, there's the sexist comments like, "Ah, but aren't all women a mystery? Cuddy's just a mystery with really great taste in push-up bras."
IGN - I'm going to keep this one really short, since anyone who's previously read my thoughts on House M.D. -- Episode 2: Blue Meanie or House M.D. -- Episode 3: Skull and Bones should be able to predict where this fourth installment is headed. Yes (shockingly!) it's more of the same.
Jorge from Toronto Thumbs reviews House M.D. for the PC.
From the review:
"Legacy Interactive’s House M.D. for the PC follows the adventures of the ever-cantankerous Dr. Gregory House, diagnostics wizard at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey and is based on the hit television show of the same name. I am a huge fan of the series so I was understandably both excited and fearful when I found out that this game existed. The creators tried hard to have the game live up to the awesomeness of the show. Does it succeed? Check out my diagnosis to find out."
Do we get Bioware/Bethesda dialog choices? Ones ranging from 'funny' to 'total incensitive prick'? I would love that!
Hahaha I love that idea! If the game had that in there, I'm sure it would have been a lot better.
Mindscape have announced that it will be releasing House M.D., the official game of the international TV hit, throughout Europe exclusively on Nintendo DS. Developed by Legacy Interactive, House M.D. places gamers at the heart of the medical action, tasking them with solving five unique medical mysteries at the Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.
I actually want this.
The jokes, however, did now land with me.
im only commenting because House is awesome.
Looks freaking awesome, can't wait. Love House.
love the show, but really cant imagine a decent game based off it...
Does Hugh Laurie do the voice for House?
