GORMLEY, Ontario, Canada – September 1,
2004 -- With the
mid-September release of Are You All That?™,
an innovative, stand-alone DVD-Video trivia game,
nearly 62 million households1 can multi-task their DVD
players and use them as interactive video game consoles to enjoy nearly
300 hours of party fun and family entertainment.
Developed
by California-based DVD Interactive (DVDi®)
and published by Digital Leisure of Ontario, Canada, Are You
All That?™, is a fun-filled, hip-hop-meets-flower-
power trivia game that can be played using any DVD player.
Are You All That?™ centers on the
notion that everyone is “all that” (a self-proclaimed expert)
about something. The MC
and host of the game is the irreverent, irrepressible Dr. Know-It-All
Browne.
Presented
in a stylized, retro game show format, this uniquely interactive,
state-of-the-art trivia game for up to four players features 1,500
questions in six popular categories.
To play, the only equipment needed is a standard DVD video player
with remote control and the desire to prove oneself to be truly “all
that.”
Just
pop in the Are You All That? ™ DVD and get
the party started. No
assembly, accessories, or game boards required.
Players can count on Dr. Know-It-All-Browne to know the score and
to “dis” or “give props” as he sees fit based on individual
performance.
Are
You All That?™, is also compatible with PlayStation®2
and Xbox DVD consoles and PC DVD players.
Suggested retail price is $19.95.
Randomly selected Are You All That? ™ trivia
questions include a broad mix of timeless factoids, treasured nostalgia,
contemporary tidbits, and a lot about pop culture.
Every question answered correctly proves a player has got the
stuff, the juice, that makes him or her “all that.”
Adding
to the fun, contestants get to play as one of four likeable characters,
each representing a pop culture icon from the 1960s through the 1990s.
Catchy music and colorful graphics with hip retro, flower power,
and psychedelic motifs help reinforce the game’s hip and cool factor.
