Where The Wild Things Are game – exclusive trailer video

Where The Wild Things Are is without a doubt the film I'm looking forward to the most this year. Judging by the trailers, the magical storytelling of Maurice Sendak's legendary children's books coupled with director Spike Jonze's unique perspective is set to create real movie magic.

And now you an immerse yourself in this realm even more with the Where The Wild Thing Are game.

You play Max, the boy-king of the Wild Things, tasked with guiding the creatures to safety by solving a series of puzzles and mini games.

But much like the film, and the book before, the game is all about the amazing environment and its inhabitants.

As you wander through the spellbinding realm of the Wild Worlds, you'll befriend and learn from the Wild Things, battle shadow creatures and fierce insects, and witness never-before-seen environments.

Now, call me soft, but being able to befriend the fearsome but loveable hairy heroes of the story makes a welcome change from firing off rounds from a rocket launcher or laser cannon. For a little while at least.

Where The Wild Things Are will be available on all consoles this Autumn.
