Sega Wants You to Rub for Love
Sonic Team's stylish game set for DS launch.
Love can make you do stupid things, but is it enough to make you rub in public? Nintendo and Sega are hoping so. Sonic Team's Project Rub is a launch game for the Nintendo DS in which you'll have to jump through increasingly bizarre hoops to earn the adoration of your one true love.
And while the story ventures into regions games seldom tread, it's the gameplay that provides the most original content. The romance unfurls through a series of 30 minigames designed specifically to take full advantage of the manifold capabilities of the Nintendo DS - emphasis on full.
On the way to bliss, you'll control the game using the touch-screen, your voice and even your breath.
The Nintendo DS will be released in Europe on 11 March, and Project Rub will be right there too.
