I've just been offered a review copy of Princess Debut: The Royal Ball by Midway.

Here's some info on it:

Quote:
In the new rhythm and adventure game for girls, players find themselves in a fantasy world where they have 30 days to get ready for the big ball; they'll have to master their dance moves and pick a partner from one of six charming princes. They'll meet and woo the princes through the game's large, branching storyline and exciting event system. Once players convince a prince to be their dancing partner, it's time to go out on the dance floor! Players will use the touch screen to guide their character gracefully across the dance floor while matching their partner's rhythm. All of the dances in the game are taken from motion-captured professional dancers, so the game is just as impressive to watch as it is fun to play.

Princess Debut: The Royal Ball by Natsume features four modes of play including Story, Ballroom, Practice, and Movie. With 20 outfits to find, 14 unique endings to experience, and 18 different kinds of music and dance styles to choose from (including Waltz, Latin dance, Tango, Ballroom, and much more), there's no shortage of things to see and do.

Princess Debut: The Royal Ball combines a magical fairytale world with elements of dance and music in a game created specifically for pre-teen girls, said Martin Spiess, Executive Vice President International, Midway Games Ltd. Natsume has done a superb job in creating a high quality product, and we expect it to perform well over the summer months."


I'm certainly not going to play it, but if any of you would like to review it (with your tongue firmly in your cheek), it's yours if you want it.

I could get Ange to review it - she'd probably love it.

You forgot the " " around her name.

I do like rhythm action games, but even this is a bit of a stretch for me.

They are in the process of going tits up, but it is taking a while, and they are still pumping out games in the meantime.

The dancing sections in Pirates! were awesome, to be fair. And I would review it, for standard commercial freelance rates.

It came in the post on Saturday. I've had a very brief look so far....

Amusingly, it states on the back that it requires 'basic reading ability' to fully enjoy.
