If there's one thing we can say with absolute certainty, it's that the Xbox 360 is desperately short on games in the animals-fighting-for-political-power genre. Thank goodness for Gamecock and Wideload (of Stubbs the Zombie fame) and their upcoming title, Hail to the Chimp. 1UP recently scored a sneak peek at the game. Here's the story: the lion has been ousted, and now all the animals are competing to become the new king of the jungle. Thus, politics factor into the game, though the gameplay itself revolves around paw-to-paw combat. The game is laced with subtle satirical humor. For instance, clams play a big part in the game, though we're talking about actual clams here. Several of the gametypes award victory to the "candidate" with the most clams. We'll let you puzzle that one out for yourselves.
Wideload hopes the game will be available in time for the U.S. elections in 2008.

Good ole' Simpsons. The funniest part is when the chimp is jumping out of air force one with a smile on his face.

It looks like smash bros / small arms style gameplay (melee fighting, is that what they're called) with an isometric camera.
The colorful and fun-looking presentation might at least warrant a rental.
