Big Brother Goes Mobile

by Christopher Kirkman · Published September 30, 2004 · Updated

Mobile gaming developer, Overloaded, announced a partnership with
series creator Endemol to bring the Big Brother reality show to cell
phone owners.

The game has little to do with the show. Player’s
complete physical challenges to try and escape the confines of the
house, rather than work not to be voted off. Our hero, a mulleted
redneck wearing a wife-beater and jeans must work against the clock to
pick cherries from thin air, catch a rampaging chicken in the backyard
and fly and rack up points for height/distance by jumping from a
trampoline into a wading pool (isn’t that dangerous?).

The
graphics are cutesy-cartoonish and might work to distract mobile phone
owners for a few minutes while waiting for coffee or a root canal.
