"As casual gaming continues to explode in popularity, it is becoming more necessary than ever to provide compelling, multi-faceted titles that people can relate to in order to break away from the clutter," said Anne Parducci, EVP Marketing, Lionsgate. "For two decades, girls and women have identified with Baby, and through this wonderful game from Codemasters, they will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in her world like never before."
Dirty Dancing - The Video Game has been slated for a PC release in late 2007, being developed by Developed by Say Design as a premium, action puzzler Casual Game. For more info on the game see this site.
