Published by THQ, WALL*E The Videogame, is the official game of the eagerly awaited blockbuster animated movie Wall*E; the story of a robot left alone on earth, who then takes off on a journey to find the true meaning of what he was really meant to do. The title will be available on XBOX360, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable (PSP) consoles in both English and Arabic.

Using Disney Pixar's advanced AI, players take control of WALL*E and EVE through a fast-paced adventure based on the upcoming Disney Pixar film. The game will allow fans to relive some of the movie's most thrilling moments as they explore 10 worlds filled with non-stop action and adventure, along with head-to-head multiplayer challenges. Players will recognize the storyline, characters and key locations from the WALL*E film as they carry out intense missions, dodge dangerous enemies and navigate their way through a futuristic world. In addition, the game will contain new storylines and environments that movie-goers will not see in theaters.
