Code Lyoko (full title: Code Lyoko: Get Ready to Virtualize; sometimes mislabeled as Code Lyoko: Quest for Infinity) is the first video game based on the French animated television series Code Lyoko, published by The Game Factory and released in 2007.

Plot

[edit]

The game follows the same story as its corresponding series. Four ordinary high school students, Jeremie Belpois, Odd Della Robbia, Ulrich Stern, and Yumi Ishiyama, must help a virtual humanoid named Aelita to stop the evil artificial intelligence XANA from attacking Earth by traveling to the virtual world, Lyoko. It is mainly based on the first and second seasons, with minor twists. The last chapter in the game features a glimpse of the third season's premiere episode, but with a lot of changes.

Gameplay
