MUMBAI: Nickelodeon and Activision Publishing have announced that iCarly videogame will now be available for Wii(TM) and Nintendo DS(TM)/ Nintendo DSi(TM) in North America.
The game lets fans of Nickelodeon‘s television series join the cast of iCarly in a virtual experience. Inspired by the show‘s theme of using technology to be creative, iCarly has special features for the Nintendo DSi(TM) that let players interact with their surroundings using the system‘s camera and microphone.
Said Nickelodeon/MTVN Kids and Family Group EVP digital media Steve Youngwood, "Part of what has made iCarly the top show with kids and teens is allowing them to participate in their viewing experience through the website. This game extends that concept even further by tapping into kids‘ creativity to provide them with endless fun."
In the iCarly video game, players help Carly, Sam, Freddie and the other characters from the TV series craft all-new "webisodes" of the show in an original storyline written exclusively for the game. Over 80 challenges - presented as show segments - capture the creativity of the series, and allow players to collaborate with the show‘s main characters through new adventures.
The innovative iCreate mode provides opportunities for gamers to add their own unique touches to the webisodes by swapping out props, characters, colour schemes, audio, intros and outros. Up to four players can either compete or cooperate together on Wii to complete the skits and earn Web-Cred, which can then be used to purchase new items, props, accessories and locations from in-game virtual websites.
