Whacked! is a videogame released in 2002 by Presto Studios for the Xbox. It is backwards compatible with the Xbox 360. It is a gameshow in which creatures compete for the Prize, whatever they wish, by hitting each other with objects such as missiles and pitchforks.

There are 7 different characters, and even more levels. Levels are usually absurd or surreal, such as the back of a pickup truck, up in space, on top of buildings, under a Christmas tree, in the Arctic pipeline, at the scene of a car crash, at "Club BaƱo", in a pirate ship, and even the kitchen sink (a references to the colloquialism "Everything but the kitchen sink").

The game was key to the beta testing of Xbox Live as it and MotoGP demos were distributed to the beta testers. The same Live enabled demos were originally given out for one year with the purchase of the Xbox Live starter kit.
