Posted March 12th 2007 by Ben Wood.

Who would have imagined having two games on Wii this year where travelling between 2D and 3D is commonplace?

Today, the Game Factory announced their second Wii title, Code Lyoko. Developed by Neko in France, gamers will explore a world based on the CG animated television series in two and three dimensions. Expect a diverse array of fighting, platforming, racing, and puzzle solving sometime late this year.

The Game Factory today announces it is publishing a new title based on the animated high-tech action adventure series, "Code Lyoko" for Nintendo's Wii. The new "Code Lyoko" game will be based on the fourth season of the hugely popular animated series and is due for release in Q4 2007.

Utilizing the latest advances in 2D and 3D computer graphics imagery (CGI), "Code Lyoko" follows the adventures of four "ordinary" students who discover the existence of a mysterious parallel universe, a virtual world called Lyoko. The students, Yumi, Ulrich, Odd and Jeremy discover that both Earth and Lyoko are being threatened with destruction by a super virus, X.A.N.A., which has infected the Super Computer that controls everything. Now the students, who are joined by Aelita, a virtual being from Lyoko, must lead double lives : ordinary boarding school students on Earth and action heroes inside the digital world of Lyoko, where they learn each have special powers.
