Naughty Bear is a third-person shooter/action video game for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles. Players control the eponymous bear as they use various things to earn "Naughty Points", with extra points being given for random missions.
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.
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 and Grand Theft Auto, Destory All Humans, and the cancelled Campfire. Gamestop and Amazon offered pre-order bonus costumes that spoofed Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger.
