According to the press release, “To play the "America's Next Top Model" game, players select a virtual representation of his/her favorite and least favorite contestants from the show. The main task is for users to interact with these selected virtual characters -- known as avatars -- as if they were real participants of the TV show. This means players must foster their avatar's modeling career through training and various challenges. The selection of the least favorable character allows players to play tricks on her”. The press release also talks about how users can send their virtual model to friend’s phones for a vacation. CBS says that “The game for the upcoming 2007 season will also have a viral, player-to-player component where users must send their avatar "on vacation" to a friend's cell phone, thus ceasing to take care of their own character for a while".This is me not passing judgment.
In the U.S., the game will be available to Cingular and Sprint users depending on their cell phone. Consumers can download the game by going to either www.cwtv.com, www.botme.com or by sending a text message to a five-digit number advertised via commercials during the show. Artificial Life will also develop several mobile games over a license period of two years as part of the agreement with CBS. It will cost an initial price of US $5.99 to download the game.
No real comment, but I am a little curious. If anyone sees or downloaded the game, let me know how it is.
