July 29th, 2010, 15:27 Posted By: wraggster

Activision and Nickelodeon today announced the second entry in the videogame series inspired by the number-one live-action show on television with kids 2-11, iCarly. Coming to WiiTM and the Nintendo DSTM family of hand-held systems internationally this Fall, iCarly 2: iJoin The Click! puts the player in the role of the new kid at Ridgeway High, where they will socialize with all the characters from the show and meet up to make new iCarly webisodes.

"One of the unique characteristics of the show and a key factor in its success is the show's interactive integration of its fans," said David Oxford, Activision Publishing. "With the program continuing to reach new ratings milestones and with our first iCarly game being very well received, we've developed a fresh new take on the game that allows fans to immerse themselves in the world of iCarly and to fully interact with its awesome cast of personalities."

In iCarly 2: iJoin The Click!, the adventure starts with the player as a newbie student at Ridgeway who begins to hang out with Carly, Sam and Freddie at locations from the show, such as Groovie Smoothie, the Pacific Place Mall, and even Carly's apartment. While exploring the locations and interacting with the cast, players get to compete in a series of fun challenges and mini-games to help out the gang. Carly wants her webisodes to become an even bigger sensation, so they need the player's help in LIVE in 5! Mode by choosing props for the set, adjusting the crew, and making sure the show goes off without a hitch. For those with a Nintendo DSiTM, the game takes advantage of the system's built-in camera to let the player take shots and import images to customize her look and wardrobe in true iCarly style.

iCarly 2: iJoin The Click! is available internationally this Fall on WiiTM and Nintendo DSTM. The game is not yet rated by the ESRB. For more information visit www.activision.com.
