Zoë Mode is pleased to announce the development of ‘Dancing with the Stars’ for PlayStation 2 and Nintendo Wii to be published by Activision. Released in North America on 23rd October 2007, ‘Dancing with the Stars’ challenges players to take to the dance floor with 18 celebrity and professional dancers from the hit ABC television show. The PlayStation 2 version supports a dance-mat while the Nintendo Wii version utilizes the Wii Remote and Nunchuk.
Zoë Mode Studio Head, Ed Daly comments:
"The studio's strategy is to develop games that appeal to new audiences, music and party games are a key focus for Zoë Mode. ‘Dancing with the Stars™’ is a massive success in the US and the game will appeal to dance game devotees and fans of the show who want to get off the couch. We are delighted to be working with one of the world’s biggest publishers: Activision has proven to be a great partner in our joint vision for creating a refreshing approach to dancing on the PlayStation2 and Wii”
Unique to its genre, ‘Dancing with the Stars™’ features 10 different dancing styles for the player to master, from the Cha Cha, Mambo and Rumba to the Foxtrot and Waltz each dance style provides a unique challenge for the player, and in the two-player game, their partner. Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli are on hand to dish out the criticism of the players' performance while multiplayer options allow players to dance together as a couple or challenge each other in a head-to-head dance off.
