Publisher Glu Mobile has announced the launch of White House Rumble exclusively for mobile phones. The game is now available on U.S. carriers and offers players an opportunity to fight public figures and presidential contenders.
In 2004, Glu released Bush vs. Kerry Boxing, a mobile boxing game allowing players to fight at the presidential candidate of their choice. White House Rumble follows this formula, including new graphics, features, game modes and a wider array of caricatured politicians to square off against. The cast of characters features both Republicans and Democrats and includes both 2008 presidential candidates and "select high-profile figures."
The boxers include:
- * George W. Bush
- * Dick Cheney
- * Hillary Clinton
- * Rudy Giuliani
- * Al Gore
- * Barack Obama
"I think people will really enjoy White House Rumble as it lets them see these public figures in a new, unexpected and hilarious way," said Jill Braff, senior vice president of global publishing, Glu. "It's healthy to have a little sense of humor when it comes to the world of politics, and that's the outlet White House Rumble provides. What better way to pass some time than stepping into the ring and trading punches with your favorite politician?"
