Gamecock and Wideload Games (made up of many former members of Bungie) have announced they're bringing Hail to the Chimp to the Xbox 360 and PS3. The political party game will be released in Spring of 2008, just in time for the Presidential Primaries.

According to Gamecock and Wideload, Hail to the Chimp will be one of the first games to attempt to satirize the political process through the "party game" genre:

    Political allegories aside, seems like an interesting concept. I've never actually seen a game solely based on politics before.

    Ehhh, gimmicky to me...Take away the animal based politicians, and what do you get? A political game (albiet, its supposed to be funny)

    I really doubt I'll bother looking into this...I totally abhor politics....

    This idea is different. But if I want to play a party game, I think I'll just stick to Mario Party.

    I've read more into this, this isin't just some kind of political satire, it's like a party game. Brawls and things like that are involved, more info was released by Game Informer where they revealed many games Gamecock was gonna publish.

    This sounds fun, It be interesting to see whether they use real political figures or not. If they do I bet there's a huge stink about it

    I think it sounds fun whether it's related to real life or not. And the "hail to the chimp" joke works on most world leaders.
