Spielberg stepped into the video game business after he realized that no video game really catered for his 7 children. Not just that, Spielberg says that he enjoys playing almost every game that comes out and is also a big fan of Nintendo’s Wii console for its motion-sensor controls that involves physical interactivity.
According to Spielberg:
“It’s been very, very good for a parent like me who wants our kids not to be couch potatoes, but to get up and move their bodies around more.”
Features of the game:
- The game has up to 4 players that face a range of challenges.
- There are a whooping 400 new levels in settings such as outer space and water.
- The players can create their own user-generated content and share this with others online.
- There are new characters, new tools, blox types(like virus and conveyor blox ) and blox shapes.
Till now video games have not really translated to the big screen, although Hollywood continues to try with new films like “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time” by Disney Pictures.
Spielberg adds:
“So far, there hasn’t been a major success in the videogame industry based on a motion picture, nor has there been a very successful motion picture based on a videogame. There’s not been convergence, thus far. There will be. When it happens it will be dynamite.”
