Now THIS is what XBLA was made for.  Sega announced this morning that it will be releasing a game based on the internet-animation-sensation Happy Tree Friends.  If you're not familiar with the show, chances are you didn't hurt puppies as a child.  It's a series of animated shorts that start out as parodies of the cutest cuddliest cartoons imaginable and usually end with horrific death and dismemberment.  It's an absolute treat.

Disaster has struck the Happy Tree Friends! Earthquakes, fires, and other catastrophes have trapped the beloved friends who now must be rescued. In a unique twist to the action genre, guide the rescue squad of Flippy, Handy, and Lumpy into dangerous situations using unique abilities in a dynamic reactive environment to save as many trapped Happy Tree Friends as possible. Cute, cuddly, and horribly wrong, Happy Tree Friends False Alarmâ„¢ is filled with unexpected situations and outrageous outcomes!

Features:

  • Playable Happy Tree Friends characters: For the first time in 3D, play as the rescue squad of Flippy, Handy, and Lumpy to save other Happy Tree Friends such as Cuddles, Toothy and Flaky from life-threatening disasters!

  • Unique twist to the action genre: Using physics-based reactive environments and problem-solving elements control a rescue squad with unique abilities such as hurling concrete, spraying water, or throwing nitroglycerin to augment the dynamic 3D environments creating a variety of unpredictable outcomes.

  • Disaster levels made exclusively for Happy Tree Friends False Alarm: SEGA and the creative minds behind Happy Tree Friends have teamed up to create 10 original and engaging disaster scenarios such as the Mine Shaft, Candy Factory, and Museum.

  • Gameplay true to the franchise: Experience the non-stop hilarious action Happy Tree Friends-style where their accident prone universe means destruction and mayhem are inevitable.

  • Xbox LIVE® Arcade features: Xbox LIVE® Arcade will feature leaderboards to compete with friends, earn achievement medals, and track your progress as you advance through Career mode.

The game will be hitting XBLA and PC's this fall.  This has officially moved to the top of my most anticipated list.  Check out the official website here.

this is definitely an interesting looking title to say the very least. Any multiplayer?

Sadly no. The offical site lists it as "Players - 1."

Who cares about multiplayer??? Although that would be interesting, you can play as Flippy!!! The ability to play as the best character from the show easily makes up for the lack of multiplayer
