Cash Cab: Las Vegas
This is one I didn’t see coming, but Discovery Communications and Capcom Mobile are bringing Cash Cab: Las Vegas to the iPhone OS. The game will be available for the iPhone and iPod Touch for $2.99 and feature 550 questions, 16 different Vegas destinations, leaderboards, iTunes music integration and of course, Ben Bailey telling hosting. It appears as if the game will follow the rules of the TV show, with harder questions and higher stakes as you get closer to your destination and getting the boot (even if in the bad part of town) when you miss your third question. If you like the show, you probably will get a kick out of the app.
CAPCOM MOBILE AND DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS PUT THEIR CARDS ON THE TABLE WITH THE LAUNCH OF CASH CAB: LAS VEGAS ON THE APPLE APP STORE
LOS ANGELES, CA – August 19, 2010 – Capcom Mobile and Discovery Communications today announced Cash Cab: Las Vegas, the sequel to their smash trivia Cash Cab app, is now available on the Apple App Store.
Capturing the spirit of the show, Cash Cab: Las Vegas challenges players to a battery of diverse trivia questions as they navigate the streets of Las Vegas. As the meter ticks, stakes get higher. Miss three questions and the Cash Cab pulls over and ejects the contestants onto the sidewalk, no matter where they are in the city.
The new game features 16 destinations set around Las Vegas as well as updated graphics inspired by sin city’s nightlife. Additionally, host and comedian Ben Bailey is featured prominently in the new game and chimes in with his signature color commentary based on the player’s performance.
