Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster

Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster, an upcoming video game developed by Double Fine Productions and published by Warner Bros. The game, planned for release in late 2011, will be released on the Xbox 360 console utilizing the Kinect controller where players will control the Muppet characters of Cookie Monster and Elmo, and a new character, Marco, as they sing and dance.

Once Upon a Monster is presented as a storybook divided into a number of chapters. Each chapter features a monster with some type of problem to be solved by the Sesame Street monsters Cookie Monster and Elmo; one chapter involves the new character of Marco who was the only attendee at his own birthday party. These chapters are then broken into a series of minigames that utilize the Kinect controller. In the example birthday party chapter, the games include a tandem race, represented as Elmo riding on the shoulders of Marco; one player, acting as Marco, shifts side to side to avoid rocks in the path or jumps to avoid fallen logs, while the second player as Elmo ducks at appropriate times to avoid being hit by tree branches. A subsequent game includes a lightweight dance game variant where the players must attempt to match moves by the other monsters on screen with their body. The chapter culminates in a big birthday celebration for Marco, where the players must then help him to blow out the candles on his cake. (source)
