Whacked! is a 2002 Xbox party combat game developed by Presto Studios in which seven eccentric contestants battle one another on a twisted game show. Gameplay centers on free-for-all arena combat, with players picking up an assortment of absurd weapons and power-ups — including giant staplers and rubber ducky grenades — to eliminate rivals. The game offers multiple modes beyond straightforward deathmatch, such as resource collection challenges and survival rounds against waves of carnivorous chickens. More than a dozen distinct arenas serve as the battlegrounds, ranging from an arctic pipeline and a towering Christmas tree to a kitchen sink setting. The deliberately absurd aesthetic carries through both the character designs and the level environments, giving the game a chaotic, irreverent personality throughout.
