Announces Imagine: Rock Star for Nintendo DS
Highly
Successful Imagine Video Game Series for Young Girls Expands
SAN
FRANCISCO --(BW)-- Ubisoft, one of the world’s largest video
game publishers, announced the newest game to launch within its
highly successful Imagine video game series: Imagine Rock
Star. The Imagine line, part of Ubisoft’s Games for Everyone
division, is the first-ever dedicated brand of video games that
allows girls ages 6 to 14 to explore their favorite interests
and hobbies in an interactive and entertaining way.
Since the launch
of the new franchise, Imagine sales have exceeded expectations
with more than three million units sold globally. Following the
successful launches of Imagine Figure Skater, Imagine Fashion
Designer, Imagine Animal Doctor, Imagine Master Chef and Imagine Babyz, Imagine Rock Star is the sixth game in the Imagine line-up
and will be available in June 2008, allowing young players to
form their dream band, climb the charts and become music legends.
“Ubisoft
has established itself as the leading publisher for girls and
we are extremely pleased with the success of the first series
of Imagine games,” said Tony Key, senior vice president
of marketing and sales at Ubisoft. “By allowing them to
play, create and dream of the possibilities, Imagine Rock Star
strengthens Ubisoft’s position in this category and provides
more DS options for young girl gamers.”
Imagine Rock
Star allows players to create a rock band and select who plays
the drums, guitar, bass and piano. Each instrument has its own
unique control using the Nintendo DS stylus. Players have the
ability to customize the look of each band mate in order to become
the most stylish rockers. Players can wirelessly jam with up
to four of their friends, perform in concerts and earn money
as the band works its way up the charts to the No. 1 spot to
land its dream recording contract. |
