Naughty Bear is a video game for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles as well as for iOS devices.[4] Players control the eponymous bear as they use various things to earn "Naughty Points", with extra points being given for random missions.[5]

The game is set on a paradisiacal island where teddy bears live in harmony. The main character, Naughty Bear, is a shabby teddy bear who has a tendency to be mischievous, which earns him the dislike of the other bears. Like the other teddy bears, he does not speak but instead conveys his emotions through a variety of sounds and facial expressions. His actions are influenced by an unseen narrator with a demeanor reminiscent of that of a young children's television show host.[6][7]

Development

The development team have stated that much of the inspiration for Naughty Bear came from Saturday morning cartoons; the idea of juxtaposing that innocence with dark humour and over-the-top violence. The game's familiar mechanics were inspired by popular games such as Manhunt, Grand Theft Auto, Project Gotham Racing, and Trials HD.[8] Gamestop and Amazon offered pre-order bonus costumes that spoofed Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger. In May 2011, 505 Games released Naughty Bear Gold Edition-- which is the original game plus all 3 of its downloadable content episodes, 3 new weapons, and 4 new multiplayer modes. [9]

Sequel

A sequel has been announced, but no details have been confirmed.
