[edit] Gameplay
There are 7 different characters, and even more levels. Levels are usually absurd or surreal, such as the back of a pickup truck, up in space, on top of buildings, under a Christmas tree, in the Arctic pipeline, at the scene of a car crash, at "Club Baño", in a pirate ship, and even the kitchen sink (a reference to the colloquialism "Everything but the kitchen sink").
[edit] Xbox Live
The game was key to the beta testing of Xbox Live as it and MotoGP demos were distributed to the beta testers. The same Live enabled demos were originally given out for one year with the purchase of the Xbox Live starter kit.[1]
At this time Whacked! is playable on the Xbox 360 however voice chat on Xbox Live is not supported.
[edit] Story
The Story begins with seven different contestants competing in a game show run by Van Tastic, the host, for the mystery prize. The contestants are pitted against each other in different games, such as Dodgeball, King of the Hill, Fragfest, and more. but remember, things are not what they seem in Whacked!
