Desperate Housewives mobile game: first shots and info

Gameloft takes the wraps off Wisteria Lane game

Desperate Housewives mobile game: first shots and info

Someone at Gameloft clearly has a thing for glamorous US ladies. Following last year's Paris Hilton Diamond Quest, the publisher has now debuted its official Desperate Housewives game.

Susan, Bree, Lynette, Gabrielle, Edie... they're all present and correct.

The plot concerns a new neighbour who moves into Wisteria Lane and promptly shakes things up with a little murder, blackmail, and adultery. Although to be honest, that's business as usual.

The game is divided into 24 episodes, with each one having been written by one of the actual writers of the TV show. There are six locations, tokens, and special cards to collect, and eight mini-games to play.

As you can see from the screenshots, the game takes an isometric viewpoint, with mugshots of the characters popping up regularly. And you get to step into the doubtless-expensive shoes of Susan, Bree, Lynette and Gabrielle along the way.

Desperate Housewives is out imminently. Our crack reviewing team will give its verdict soon (once we let them out of the locked cellar, of course).
