The Naked Gun gets unleashed for the iPhone

The Naked Gun franchise came from Police Squad!, a cop show spoof from the Zucker Brothers who took Leslie Nielsen and molded him into the iconic Detective Frank Drebin. Today, that joke is beaten further into the ground with The Naked Gun: ICUP, which occasionally remembers to include the periods in their acronym so it's "I.C.U.P."

The click and point adventure focuses on this first episode, "Date with Destiny," so it's not made clear if the other episodes are free with full purchase, or if they'll be add ons in the future. The press release and announcement trailer below.

"Named as one of the most anticipated mobile games of 2012 by Pocket Gamer, THE NAKED GUN: I.C.U.P. was designed by DNA and Bad Neighbors as an uproarious adventure game that introduces a fresh twist to the venerable Paramount Studios film franchise.  Spoofing modern crime dramas and popular video gaming culture, THE NAKED GUN: I.C.U.P. features classic 2D adventure gaming styling updated for today's modern audience.  Gameplay features include finger-numbing mini-games, collectible objects, upgradeable environments, completely arbitrary unlockable outfits and surprise cameos by some of the gaming world's most notoriously obnoxious characters.

THE NAKED GUN: I.C.U.P. is available for $4.99 - or about the same price as a gallon of milk for your needy family - from the App Store^® for iPad and iPhone."

The trailer also claims this is out for Android, but that seems to be a rather awkward typo.
