Game Information

PS2 - Under the Skin Box Art Front

The story revolves around the Planet Mischief, where there is a tradition that once someone turns 3-years old, he/she must travel to a planet and learn how to perform "Mischief" and cause panic on that planet. Cosmi, a three-year old alien, travels to Earth for his mission, in order to impress his father, the Master of Mischief, Cosmi Sr., mostly because Earth is considered the greatest challenge. Cosmi crashes with a TV satellite from a town called Coco Town. When crash landing, he manages to hide in an alley on Coco Town, where he is saved by Earth's Mischief Master, Master Itazura. He takes him to his Dojo to train, and lets Cosmi move on with his mission, on 8 different locations: CocoTown, HighStakesHill, Pranksyvania, PharaohIsland, BigBootyBay, FrontiersVille, RaccoonCity and finally Cosmopolis. It is revealed that Cosmopolis is a trap for "Anti-Alien-Forces" to capture all of the aliens on Earth by disguising themselves as aliens. Itazura uses their trap as the final challenge for Cosmi, and challenges him personally there. Cosmi wins and travels back to Planet Mischief to celebrate, but crashes into another TV-station and crashlands on Earth again, this time, in the middle of CocoTown square. Of course, panic arises and reporters try to get a snapshot of the little alien, but Cosmi accidentally pushes someones camera around, causing it to take a photo of the crowd, thus revealing that several of them are also aliens.

Additional Information

Gamers take the role of an extraterrestrial prankster in this action game of disguises and practical jokes. Upon their third birthday, as a right if passage, inhabitants of the distant "Planet Trick" must travel to another world to prove their skills at making mischief. Under the Skin has players taking the role of a Trickster named Cosmi, who has traveled to Earth for this very purpose. The alien mischief-maker has more than a few tricks up his sleeve, but the most important may be his ability to assume the identities of other creatures he meets.

On Earth, Cosmi can fire his special ray guy to analyze the genetics of people he sees, and then use this information to transform himself into their perfect likenesses. While in disguise, Cosmi can perform a number of rude and embarrassing actions that are almost sure to bewilder the local population. When sufficiently disturbed, Earthlings will drop coins; Cosmi needs to collect as many of these as possible, since they serve as evidence of his successful pranks. He can't draw too much attention to himself, however, or he'll risk revealing his true identity.

Under the Skin presents a caricatured game world, with exaggerated characters and stylized, cel-shaded graphics. Missions are set in a variety of locales, including "Pirate Landing," "Koko Town," and the synergistically Capcom-centric "Resident Evil Town."
