The king of the animals has resigned in disgrace, leaving the field wide open for a new leader, and many candidates are eager to fill the void. Now the battle is on and the campaign is about as dirty as it can get. Ten candidates spanning the range of the animal kingdom, from armadillo to yak, are engaged in a knock-down, drag-out fight for the crown. Join in the campaign as they fight for clams (votes) and engage in a variety of dirty politicking in a race for an entirely different kind of animal house.
Play as any of 10 animal candidates, including Ptolemy the mighty hippo and Crackers the devious monkey, as you wage your toughest, dirtiest campaign to be elected the new king. Canvass your way through a variety of environments, including mountain tops and city streets. Collect the clams scattered in each environment and attack opponents to knock their clams loose — the more clams you have, the more damage you can inflict. Play with up to three friends, either online or offline, and team up with competitors to attack other players. Each animal combination unleashes a different special move, so you can finally satisfy your burning curiosity about the power of a polar bear-jellyfish team. Experience the full scope of the political race as you watch your actions narrated by renowned anchor Woodchuck Chumley on GRR News, the animal news network. With Hail to the Chimp, you'll experience the game of politics in a whole new way.
