Arthur game team shared offices with movie group
Yahoo! Games interviews Luc Besson about upcoming movie and game, Arthur and the Invisibles. We're used to most movie IP games being shovelware from a third-party developer, tossed at parents who think the family will like the a game as much as the movie. ("It says Happy Feet right on it. It must be good!")Instead, Besson describes how his animation team shared office space with the videogame team; the two groups worked on their own projects at the same time. While Besson downplays any close collaboration, saying he ran into the game designers mostly at lunch, we still like the idea of the movie- and game-teams working in proximity. Some ideas must have traveled between the groups.

Arthur and the Invisibles hands-on
Aside from truly beautiful artwork and intriguing characters who remind us of plastic trolls, Arthur and the Invisibles is rather eye catching. Based on Luc Besson's (Fifth Element) CG film that will debut early next year, the game promises to contain elements similar to Wario Ware Touched with a twist of Minimoy. You can also raise your very own "mul mul" and even have it play with friends mul mul's via wireless link to another DS. IGN has the rest of the details and a lot of very attractive screenshots of the art, somewhat gameplay and the CG characters themselves.
