'Grease' is now the word on Wii

'Grease: The Game' will be available for the Nintendo DS and Wii from 27 August. Based on the original high school musical that first hit cinemas in 1978, 'Grease: The Game' aims to give fans hours of jump-jiving gameplay.

"505 Games is always looking for new ways to engage players with original interactive experiences and our relationship with Paramount Digital Entertainment has allowed us to do just that," said Ian Howe.

"Contributing to the current 'Grease' revival has been such a rewarding experience for all of us that we are truly excited to welcome a whole new generation of fans with 'Grease: The Game'. With its compelling gameplay, iconic song list and charming graphics, ‘Grease’ is going to entertain enthusiasts of all ages."

In 'Grease: The Game' players will not only sing and dance to 16 of the movie's songs, they will also engage in all kinds of party fun alongside Frenchie, Kenickie, Rizzo, and the rest of the Pink Ladies and T-Birds.

There are a number of pick-up-and-play mini-games for the whole family including drag races down Thunder Road against the Scorpions, sports competitions to win a letterman jacket, carnival games at the Rydell Graduation carnival, and even pillow fights with the Pink Ladies.
