• 'Dancing on Ice' (NDS) - New Screens

  

   

  Dancing on Ice captures the excitement, drama and challenge of the show with an interactive and intuitive control system. By creating your own character, selecting which real-life professional skater will be your partner, undertaking the strict training regimes and learning the increasingly testing “required elements” the player really feels like they are immersed in the show for real.

  The timing for the release coincides with the key final weeks of the hit TV show of the same name. Now in its fifth series Dancing on Ice has firmly established itself as one of the most successful prime time TV shows of recent years regularly reaching an audience in excess of 9 million viewers in the UK.

  The video game successfully captures the excitement, drama and challenge of the show with a highly interactive and intuitive control system. By creating your own character, selecting which real-life professional skater will be your partner, undertaking the strict training regimes and learning the increasingly testing “required elements” the player really feels like they are immersed in the show for real.

  As part of this realism the player will also come under the scrutiny of both the “ice panel” of judges and the viewers vote to determine who will be required to “skate-off” to stay in the competition.
