ERTS | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- The EA Play Label of Electronic Arts, Inc. announced the release of a digital version of Trivial Pursuit on multiple digital platforms including the Xbox 360, PlayStation2, Playstation3, and the Nintendo Wii.

The Trivial Pursuit video game builds on the original gameplay by adding categories, questions and modes of play.

"Trivial Pursuit brings Hasbro's classic trivia board game to life with a fresh, innovative style coupled with a diverse assortment of classic categories and new questions that will appeal to every kind of trivia buff in the family," said Chip Lange, General Manager of EA's Hasbro Division. "We're also introducing new ways to play that will keep everyone engaged, competitive and on the edge of their seat. Players will need to bring their wealth of knowledge to the game, as well as a detailed understanding of what their opponents may or may not know in order to run the board to victory."

The Trivial Pursuit video game features three ways to play: Classic, which mimics traditional board game play; Clear the Board, a single-player experience that challenges players to race against the clock to earn multipliers for the highest possible score; and Facts & Friends, a multiplayer mode of play where scoring is based on team responses and guessing the opposing team's ability to answer their trivia question correctly.

The game's profile feature allows a player to track and analyze performance statistics, such as the number of games won, a player's best category, and the percentage of questions answered correctly in each category. This feature also compares a player's strengths and weaknesses versus those of the opponents.

Electronic Arts is an interactive entertainment software company. The company develops, publishes, and distributes interactive software worldwide for video game systems, personal computers, cellular handsets and the Internet.
