Capcom announces herding XBLA game: Flock

by Terrence Stasse { Jul 12th 2008 at 12:45PM }

A herding simulator from Capcom huh? Flock is a puzzle game built around moving farm animals around a grid style environment with a UFO. The animals you herd have effects on, and are affected by, the specific parts of the individual levels and the puzzle aspects come in from using those effects to complete your goals.

Described as similar in concept to Lemmings, Flock is going to have over 50 different stages, co-op online play, and a level editor. No word on an estimated release date.

You know what, I like the graphic style. It would be cool if they made a reference to "Under The Skin", since that was another "alien abduction" themed game, also made by Capcom.

I really like Capcom's online game enthusiasm. They're helping to define a level of character for downloadable games.

An arcade game I'm actually interested in, shocking. Looking forward to this, looks to be fun and with all the features packed in it's actually worth the money unlike a lot of arcade titles.

Strange, but its originality and vibrancy of colour make me want it :)

Little interest in this, I think I'll pass.

They should either just use the Beetlejuice theme, or not use it. Creating a song designed to sound like another song but just different enough so they won't get sued is annoying.

Besides that, the game looks like it might be fun. I was pretty skeptical just reading the description, but the video convinced me to at least give the trial version a shot.
