Along their journey, the duo will scale majestic mountains, build rafts to cross treacherous rivers, and fly away in a hot air balloon through the Dream World.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In addition to assisting Axel and Pixel on their adventures, players can race vehicles in Arcade Mode and post high scores to the online leaderboard. Brave explorers will also discover bonus items, including dog bones, sketches and paint tubes hidden throughout the Dream World that give Axel the tools and inspiration to complete his finest work of art.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Axel &amp; Pixel <\/em><\/strong>is now available worldwide exclusively on Xbox LIVE Arcade for the Xbox 360\u00ae video game and entertainment system from Microsoft for 800 Microsoft Points. <strong><em>Axel &amp; Pixel<\/em><\/strong> is rated G by the OFLC.
