Looking good, singing away...
Namco Bandai Networks Europe Ltd, a leading global publisher of mobile games, has announced the launch of ‘The X Factor 2008 – The Mobile Game’, a brand new game based on award-winning entertainment show that gives mobile subscribers the chance to test out their own star credentials on the move. Available immediately across all major UK operators, including Vodafone, O2, T-Mobile and Orange, the new game continues the growing trend for hands-on interactive games which target a wider audience base of casual gamers. The format has been licensed by FremantleMedia Enterprises’ Licensing division to Namco Bandai.
Seems like someone has been busy getting this in to all the Operators… I wonder exactly how the game could work – my vote would be for an app that can take the users’ vocals from the mic on the handset, and then give back curt and sometimes rude comments from the judges – all whilst on the move!
In reality (pun intended), the game is a role-play type of affair, with you completing mini-games to progress. Aw shame, I would have liked the singing game I described – ahem…. not for me to use personally, of course… ahem.
