CID The Dummy

NORTHAMPTONSHIRE, UK Thurs 8th Jan 2009

Do you feel like you spend all your days banging your head against a brick wall? Have you ever thought there was more to life? That you were destined to be more?

Ever just looked outside your work or school window (if you are lucky enough to have a window near you!) and thought “I’m sick of being smashed through brick walls, thrown out of cars, whacked with steel balls and shot at with bazookas till my head pops off and having to wake up the next day and do it all again?” (Okay, may be not the last part!)

Well, CID the Dummy feels the same! This is the beginning of the story of CID where he starts to question the big things in life! Like what exactly is the meaning of his life? What is his destiny? Will England ever win another world cup?! Well, the first two questions are something he can at least do something about! And he will!

About CID The Dummy

A star is born and he's made to last. CID THE DUMMY makes his debut in Oxygen Games’ all-new action platformer. CID THE DUMMY is sure to grab you with its enjoyable, fun gameplay, featuring a totally original character with charisma and lots of moves. CID has many different fighting styles with which to battle enemies, from unarmed combat to weapons like the Bazooka that can freeze, hit and burn.

• Interact as only a crash impact dummy can. Climb walls, swing on ropes, burn obstacles, destroy exploding barrels, use lifters, bounce on springs and with a neat head butt destroy walls all in stunningly realized environments. Game environment interaction is the most important part of the gameplay.

• CID's world is swarming with a host of fearfully fun enemies like the Dumper, Cursed Dummy and the bizarre Failed Experiment.

• Apart from fighting enemies, the player will enjoy solving puzzles, avoiding traps and using acrobatic skills to get out of dangerous situations!

CID The Dummy will be released on Wii™, Playstation®2, PSP®System, and PC.
