Today, Xbox 360, Codemasters and Zoë Mode are bringing out the movie star in everyone for the holiday season with the release of “You’re in the Movies,” the first and only game of its kind that transports players into a magical world of cinema and hilarious improvisations. Using the Xbox LIVE Vision camera, friends and families choose a script, act it out and in minutes watch the often hilarious, always entertaining results. “You’re in the Movies” is rated “E” for Everyone and will be available packaged with the Xbox LIVE Vision camera for an estimated retail price of $69.99 CDN beginning today.
“You’re in the Movies” is the perfect party game for this holiday season. Up to four players compete in a series of mini-games that put the spotlight on the unique and often dubious acting talents of friends and family through physical movements, facial expressions and more. Players’ mini-game actions are captured and placed into short, riotous films that offer sidesplitting entertainment that can be e-mailed and uploaded to social networking sites.
“‘You’re In the Movies’ is a fantastic addition to our intellectual property portfolio, and we’re very excited about the excellent result of our partnership with Zoë Mode and Microsoft in bringing such a strong title to market,” said Barry Jafrato, senior vice-president of brand at Codemasters Software Co. Ltd.
