Introduction

 

Kenny and Spenny are two best friends who compete against each other. Their competitions are ridiculous, immature and totally intense.

 

Kenny: A witty wise-cracker and brilliant schemer. Kenny's a goofball looking for a shortcut. He loves to humiliate Spenny and will do anything to win.

 

Spenny: A stressed out, neurotic, short-fused adult-type who believes in preparation and hard work. He's responsible, often angry, introspective, paranoid and ethical.

 

Why do they constantly compete? No one's sure but it's a fact that they are a pathetic example of the male species! So, if you want to be like them, we suggest you immediately contact a psychiatrist.

 

Now you can compete against them or become them (well virtually of course) in Versusville.

 

In Versusville you can do battle in four exciting games.

 

            Residence Evil

New arrivals to Versusville must first play Residence Evil. This game is only presented in the single-player mode and is the tutorial for all the other games.

 

Wasteball

An abandoned building has been transformed into a chemical waste paintball arena, where players compete in brutal shooting matches.

 

Kart Dart

Competitors are challenged to race with shopping trolleys around the Versus Food Market, they have 3 tracks to choose from and battle their way to the front of the pack, by fair means or foul, and cross the finish line first with the most competition points.


Grave Rave

A cemetery late at night is the perfect place for peer humiliation. Players must use a gruesome array of weapons to dispatch the other players but they do not shoot�they throw!  And they launch pieces of exploded zombie!
