SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jun 26, 2008 – Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) announced today the Fall 2008 release of Dancing with the StarsTM: Get Your Dance On!, the sequel to last year’s rhythm-packed Dancing with the StarsTM videogame. They have once again teamed up with Disney-ABC Television Group’s ABC Entertainment and BBC Worldwide America to create this all new game for WiiTM and Nintendo DSTM. Players will engage in the battle of the ballroom with more stars, more dances, more intense competition – and more fun!

“‘Dancing with the Stars’ is an ongoing cultural phenomenon that appeals to people of all ages. It is mainstream entertainment at its best,” said Dave Oxford, Activision Publishing. “We feel the game is the perfect opportunity to evolve the idea of ‘active family fun’.”

Dancing with the StarsTM: Get Your Dance On! features all-new stars such as Mel B, Apolo Anton Ohno, Joey Fatone and Jennie Garth. Players will be able to cha-cha with new professional dancers including Derek Hough, and his sister, two-time “Dancing with the Stars” champion, Julianne Hough.

The WiiTM version improves on the original with refined WiiTM Remote and Nunchuck controls to enact their favorite dances. Other additions include all-new special “flair” moves that will wow the judges. Dancing with the StarsTM: Get Your Dance On! for Nintendo DSTM brings a fresh take on the rhythm game genre, complete with the ability to change outfits and swap partners at the player’s whim.
