The Suite Life of Zack & Cody comes to DS

Disney kids' series is transformed into a spy game

The Suite Life of Zack & Cody comes to DS

We have to confess to never having watched US kids' series The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. It sounds quite good though purely because its identical twin stars (Zack and Cody) live in a suite at a hotel where their single mum works at as a singer. Seeing as it's our ambition to one day be able to live in a hotel suite and get all the room service, bed turning down and towel washing services we could want, we're very envious of them.

And as well as getting to live in a hotel, the twins are set to feature in a DS game published by Disney, the full title of which is The Suite Life of Zack & Cody: Circle of Spies. The game was released in the US back in October 2007 and now it's looking like it's getting a March release here.

The game lets players alternatively take the roles of both Zack and Cody and make use of various gadgets as well as play an assortment of mini-games. That's all the information we've got. Or perhaps that's all that's in the game.

Slightly more promisingly, it's been developed by the more-than-experienced Canadian developer Artificial Mind and Movement who also made Spider-Man: Friend or Foe, Scooby Doo! Unmasked and a long list of other kids' licensed games.

New screenshots have been released of the game (above) and give an idea of what it'll be like. It does appear to have an air hockey mini-game, so bonus points to it for that. Look out for the game in March.
