Lemmings

Be Proud to Follow the Crowd with Lemmings on the PSP™

*** Watch your step with these addictive little creatures! + New levels, global communities... level building and sharing! + 5 million Lemming fans can't be wrong!

E3, LOS ANGELES, 17 May 2005** The multi-million selling global franchise Lemmings™ has come a long way since its pixelated debut in 1990, and Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) is now proud to announce the upcoming release of the latest chapter in the story with Lemmings on the PSP™ - for exhilarating gaming on the go.

Controlling an army of lemmings, the aim is to get as many of these cute characters as you can from the entrance point to the exit point of a level within a time limit. Easy to learn, difficult to master; Lemmings is a test of strategy and fast thinking as you make 'on the spot', life or death decisions for your band of trusting little creatures. Use the unique skills of your Lemmings team to overcome the hazards ahead: The 'Bomber' explodes at will, the 'Floater' can survive high falls and the 'Basher' digs horizontally just when you need it. The 'Climber' is at hand for those tricky mountain ranges, the 'Blocker' creates an obstacle in the path ahead and the 'Builder' is there to construct walkways for his friends.

Stretch your strategies across 100 plus levels as you lead your lemmings across an immense variety of challenging backdrops. The levels are arranged into five striking themes, each with its own unique visual flavour. So, whether it's going underground into the sewers or marching through fields and forests, the lemmings always have new terrain to explore.

Packed with a host of new features, Lemmings offers for the first time a level editor allowing players to produce their own levels and save them to the memory card on the PSP. Using the inbuilt wireless technology on the PSP, players can upload these levels to an exclusive Lemmings online community. Share your unique levels with other users or download their new levels directly to your PSP- the opportunities are endless.

Perfect for a gaming snack or a marathon meal, Lemmings on the PSP is engaging and addictive; be proud to follow the crowd with Lemmings.
