Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1726 Joined: 20 Mar 2008     | My eye twitched when I saw the headline. This just screamed "Wii product", and lo and behold! I fear this will appeal to only a very narrow market. (Namely, people who like music games...and Grease.) |

Beat Writer  Posts: 146 Joined: 13 Jun 2009    | Well, to be fair, games released sometime after the original (God Father, Ghost Busters, maybe Bucther Bay?) are generally O.K as they're not a rushed production to make a glorified commerical. Than again this careoke (don't know how you spell it but you get the gist) which can be succesfully recreated by a single game and simply changing the background will do nothing to change the fact it's kareoke with less slection of songs. Not that I don't love Grease though! |

Really? Looks kinda like that horrible Dirty Dancing game for the PC... |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1480 Joined: 6 Feb 2008   | Much as I like Grease, I dont see why they could just stick with a simple Singstar clone rather than aparently feeling the need to further confirm the Wii-motion controls are just an advertising gimmick |

too right, they really should dig a tunnel to hell to give their crappy games to the devil himself, 505 the REAL number of the devil |
Press Junketeer Posts: 406 Joined: 1 Jul 2009 | mixing games with musicals is like filling a bulldozer with chocolate and locking the keys inside, it pisses you off, and you cant enjoy either part cos the chocolate and driving controls are inside just like you cant enjoy the musical bit because its put into a shitty game and the game is not actually a proper game and just plain shit |

Well, it's got groove, it's got meaning. It's the time and the place and Wii motion. Because Grease is the game that they're making. Digitized ONJ though. Mmmmmmmm...I could even be persuaded away from Kylie. |

Now thats just dumb - why not turn it into a knife fighting game? The market really needs a good one. Also include minigames where you get a teenager pregnant. User was banned for: Poll: What is your opinion on the Metal Gear Solid storylines?. (Permanent) |
Beat Writer  Posts: 151 Joined: 14 Aug 2008  | its just going to be another throw away game rhythm game for the wii, the music is good, but i never really liked the story. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3006 Joined: 13 Aug 2008    | I was not expecting this. Before now, I had little incentive to get a Wii. Now I have less. I'm just not a fan of Grease. I'd much rather see The Rocky Horror Game. |
Paperboy  Posts: 37 Joined: 29 May 2009  | Little Shop of Horrors would clearly make a better game than Grease. Murder, bigass evil plants, nothing about it would completely rule. P.S. Thanks |

Muckraker Posts: 318 Joined: 26 Sep 2008 | well, we all know 505 can ruin games (armored Core 4 for instance) the problem is what if there making a bad game, they F*** that up and it ends up good, GOD SMITE ME FOR SAYING THAT |

Grease: The Videogame
In what could be the first instance of a videogame adaptation of a classic musical - High School Musical notwithstanding - 505 Games is bringing Grease to the DS and Wii.
Grease, the popular musical made famous on the big screen thanks to John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, is being made into a videogame. This would make absolutely no sense, but if Tom & Jerry can be turned into an MMOG, I'm pretty sure anything is fair game nowadays. And it's not like Grease doesn't have game potential - 505 Games is turning the musical into, naturally, a music game.
"The Grease video game will allow players to sing and dance alongside Danny, Sandy, The Pink Ladies and the T-Birds," wrote publisher 505 Games. "The game will take full advantage of the Nintendo Wii's motion-sensing controls and microphone, and the DS's touch screen to create exciting gameplay for casual and family gamers eager to experience Grease in a new medium."
And you know who loves Grease, aside from that one person you know who loves every single musical ever? Your mom. Grease, in that regard, makes perfect business sense for a family-friendly Wii and DS game.
The platforms do raise a couple questions, though: The DS should work because of the mic, but how will singing function on the Wii? Will Grease come packaged with the WiiSpeak microphone that was used for Animal Crossing: City Folk, or will be bundled with an official Grease mic peripheral?
Another mystery is whether whether it'll feature the likenesses of the movie's two stars. I'm guessing it won't, but who wouldn't want to see John Travolta's ugly mug in a videogame? Weirder things have happened.
