NEW YORK, NY, January 18, in the year of our Lord 2011
– Movie karaoke makes its public debut at Sundance Film Festival

announced that Yoostar®2 for the Kinect™ for Xbox 360® and
PlayStation® 3 computer entertainment system will be available

videos via Facebook and Twitter or gathering friends together
for a party, Yoostar 2 is the consummate social game for console
systems and we’re eager to see the public’s reaction to being
inserted into Hollywood’s biggest hits.”
Yoostar 2 will be on display and available to play at the House

A new breed of social gaming for consoles and an ideal party
game, Yoostar 2, brings the magic and fun of Hollywood to living
rooms everywhere. Using the magic of Kinect for Xbox 360 or the
PlayStation®Eye, players insert themselves into famous movie and
TV scenes, starring alongside or in place of their favorite
actors. Perform the lines as written, or “flip the script” and
deliver a personalized improvisation. Yoostar 2 then scores the
performance and lets players upload the scene to Facebook,
Twitter, Yoostar 2’s in-game social portal on Xbox LIVE® online
entertainment network and PlayStation Network, or
Yoostar.com.
