GREASE: THE GAME ELECTRIFIES IN NEW GAMEPLAY TRAILER

505 Games today released the first gameplay trailer for the upcoming Grease video game based on the original high school musical for the Nintendo WiiTM and Nintendo DSTM. Boasting 16 memorable song compositions, Grease: The Game makes the fun of life at Rydell High come alive in an exhilarating interactive experience that will ignite Grease fever among both new and lifelong fans.

Grease: The Game is loaded with challenging mini-games that let players sing the movie’s iconic songs, dance the hand jive hop, race down Thunder Road and have fun at the Rydell Graduation carnival with Frenchie, Kenickie, Rizzo and the rest of the T-Birds and Pink Ladies.

Compatible with the Wii Balance BoardTM and up to two USB Nintendo compatible microphones, Grease: The Game allows up to eight players to compete in two teams for musical domination at Rydell High in Party Mode. In Story Mode, players can fix up Greased Lightnin’ or try to win Sandy’s affections with their funky dance moves. The game features iconic songs from the movie that include “Summer Nights,” “You’re the One That I Want” and “Greased Lightnin’.”

Grease: The Game will be rockin’ and rollin’ onto store shelves this August.

So despite being licensed by Paramount, it sounds as if the songs are cover versions.

Grease: The Game will be done rockin' and rollin' and into the bargain bin by January.

I hate to be cynical, but especially with cover songs this has absolutely no chance of getting decent sales.

I'm not sure if the Wiimote is equipped for that sort of input.

The PlayStation Move could do it, since it has that ball that can change colors. Red means you're pregnant, green means you're not. Blue is inconclusive.
