GIRLS HANG OUT WITH BARBIE™,
CHELSEA™ AND MADISON™ FOR COOL FUN IN THE CITY WITH MY SCENE™ CD-ROM
Mattel’s stylish new tween-targeted brand debuts on the interactive platform
from Vivendi Universal Games
LOS ANGELES, CA (September 24, 2003) – Fashion and fun in the big city is all
the rage with the arrival of My Scene™ CD-ROM, shipping today from
Vivendi Universal Games (VU Games). Featuring Mattel’s trendy My Scene™ friends
— the new tween-targeted fashion brand for girls — the software game provides
an array of fun activities for girls, ages eight and older, as they help
Barbie™, Chelsea™ and Madison™ plan for one of 12 weekend events.
The My Scene™ girls are super-tight best friends who always know the latest buzz
in the big city. Even though it’s only Monday, the My Scene™ girls are making
plans – and they need help! Girls step into the shoes of one of the My Scene™
friends as they help them get ready for the next big event — buy a trendy
outfit, find the hottest new makeup or search for the coolest new sunglasses. If
the My Scene™ girls are short on cash, they can always take on a few freelance
projects to earn extra money.
Players have the option of exploring four areas of the city to find fashion
boutiques, music studios and even cute boys! As they prepare for a fabulous
event — visiting the art show at the café, attending a jewelry party or going
to a charity skating event at the park — girls can buy items like hip outfits,
accessories, snacks, CDs or a cup of coffee, looking out for clues that they’ve
purchased the right merchandise. The game gives players the opportunity to take
quizzes and “tell all” tests to discover things about themselves, their friends
or help them select the perfect gift. In order to complete their activities,
Barbie™, Chelsea™ or Madison™ can make extra money by taking on new projects
like mixing songs at the recording studio, designing store windows at the
boutique and more! The My Scene™ girls are so in demand!
My Scene™ CD-ROM is available now at retail outlets nationwide for
approximately $19.99. Customers can call (800) 545-7677 for sales and ordering
information.
