Gamespot have posted a preview of the upcoming game from Sega, Toe Jam and Earl III: All Funked Up. Here is part of it for your viewing pleasure:
The game's story is told via CG sequences interspersed throughout the game. It seems our unlikely heroes, as well as ToeJam's main squeeze, Latisha, have been summoned by Lamont, the Great Funkapotamus--last seen in ToeJam & Earl 2: Panic on Funk-o-Tron--and charged with retrieving his 12 sacred vinyl albums. It seems Lamont's precious collection of vinyl has been burgled by pesky earthlings and then scattered everywhere. To set things right, the heroic trio hops in their spaceship and heads out in search of the albums. Their journey will span five worlds that feature distinct environments--country, desert, snow, urban, and mossy water. As you'd expect, the journey won't exactly be a mellow sightseeing trip. Instead, you'll find a host of earthlings who've clearly seen too many old horror movies, as they don't exactly welcome outer space visitors with open arms. A zany assortment of earthlings stands between the precious vinyl and the motley heroes, ranging from familiar faces seen in previous games such as the bogeymen and cupid to new faces such as a gospel choir.
