14 DAY TRIAL // Friends and families get ready to create, perform, discover and connect with one another, using this E-rated, $49.99-priced learning tool from Ubisoft called Cranium Kabookii, which is now in the shops and up for grabs, if you own a Wii that is.
"The Cranium brand is synonymous with creativity, expression, and fun. By bringing these attributes to the Wii, Cranium Kabookii is the perfect addition to our Games for Everyone line," said Tony Key, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Ubisoft, "We are extremely excited to be working with Cranium, Inc., who have established themselves as pioneers in the industry by creating unique and innovative games for all ages."
Ubisoft has confirmed that Cranium Kabookii features new questions and 15 activities to get teams playing music, drawing, acting, puzzling and even cracking codes to win. For example, you'll be able to Spray paint the solar system on a wall, use the Wii Remote as a mallet to hammer out "Auld Lang Syne" on a xylophone, solve word puzzles, or test your knowledge of world flags, landmarks and national anthems.
Is there a better learning tool out there? Well, if there is, it's another Nintendo title called Left Brain Right Brain for DS, but that's a totally different game.
"Cranium Kabookii is our first family video game, and we couldn't have found a better partner in Ubisoft," said Cranium Chief Noodler and co-founder Whit Alexander. "The Quebec studio's understanding of our brand, paired with their excellence in video game development, allowed us to create a play experience that's a first for the Wii and a first for Cranium. This is an exciting milestone for us."
