America's Next Top Model
Press Release PROVIDED BY GAMES PRESS
Eidos Interactive Ltd., creator of some of the world’s leading videogame properties, has today confirmed that dtp young entertainment’s America’s Next Top Model is now available for Nintendo DS™ in the UK.
America’s Next Top Model is the official video game of the hugely popular US TV series. In the game, the player takes control of one of 10 aspiring models who compete in a variety of different categories including: 'Make Up', 'Fashion', 'Catwalk' and 'Photoshoot'.
Following the same successful formula as the TV series, one model is dismissed each week following a special challenge – just make sure it’s not you!
A new 12-episode cycle of "America’s Next Top Model" started airing in September in the U.S.
Grant Tasker, Product Manager at Eidos, said: "The fact that ‘America’s Next Top Model’ is set to air its 10th cycle, on Living, in the UK speaks volumes in terms of where the brand is right now. Year-on-year figures prove the audience shows no sign of waning, and this is why we feel the timing is perfect to publish an official game of the series for Nintendo DS."
Developed by Independent Arts Software, America’s Next Top Model, is set for release on Nintendo DS today.
Ends.
