EA gets lost in the woods with Wildlife: Forest Survival

Have you ever seen a couple of alligators like, totally duking it out on some nature show and thought, "Man, this would make for a pretty excellent video game?" We're right there with you -- and apparently, so is Electronic Arts. The mega-publisher has announced Wildlife: Forest Survival, a downloadable title launching next spring on XBLA and PSN, which casts players as one of four woodland creatures tasked with surviving the dangers posed by their fellow beasts.

In addition to this single-player survival mode, players can also play as one of the four animals in a 12-player multiplayer arena match. This sounds all well and good, but let's compare the four playable creatures, shall we? There's a fox, an alligator, a hawk and ... a rabbit. We really can't see how this setup could possibly be fair, unless the rabbits are packing heat. Ooh, maybe this is a Cave Story crossover! See, now we're excited.
