CID the Dummy wants to rescue your daughter, too

Ever heard of the Crash Test Dummies? Not the band, mind you, as memorable as they are. We're talking about some really old car commercials that attempted to stick some personality and human attributes into a pack of plastic dummies that got demolished in crash tests. This new PSP game is sort of like that -- CID the Dummy tells the story of a crash test dummy who gets a heart and goes off to find the lost dummy daughter of his creator. Silent Hill without people or scary stuff, really.

The game is a platformer with highly interactive environments ... but you've got a bazooka armed with different flavors of pain: freeze, flame, and rubber shots to be specific. Aside from the platforming and shooting, you do get plenty of Crash Test levels where you do what dummies do: get run into a wall at high speeds. We won't pass judgment on this one until we get a look at the game itself -- second quarter of 2008.

FYI - Crash Test Dummies were more than just a commercial. They tried to develop a brand like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with cartoons and toys. Actually, their toys were pretty sweet and I definitely had some.

Oh yeah, I remember those toys. I had a car and a motorcycle that you could ram together and they would fly apart into a million fuckin pieces.

Actually, they were probably the coolest toys I ever had.

On a side note, your last name isn't chambers is it?

I'm in hibernation-mode until FF:CC comes out, anywyas.
And yeah, the Crash Test Dummies-toys were even available in Europe, Germany, but I never had one.

Does anybody else remember the SNES/Genesis game they made out of the Incredible Crash Dummies? It was amusing to have your player character's limbs fly off for every hit he'd take until he was bouncing around on one arm. It's a shame that the rest of the game sucked.
