'Family Game Night 4: The Game Show' (ALL) Announced - Screens

Family Game Night 4: The Game Show is about to make living rooms worldwide feel like a TV game show set as the latest digital collection from EA will include re-imagined versions of five beloved games.

Family Game Night 4: The Game Show will have families and friends on their feet and rallying to compete in their living rooms, playing the same fan favorite games as their TV counterparts.

Family Game Night 4: The Game Show will have players literally jumping into action with Connect 4 Basketball where the first team to shoot four balls in a row of one color wins. They can also scramble to re-arrange virtual word tiles in Scrabble Flash — the longer the word, the better the score. Teams will push hard to achieve a bulls-eye or block their opponents with enormous on-screen game pieces in Sorry! Sliders, while Yahtzee! Bowling will have families chasing down scoring combinations as they "roll" giant bowling balls and knock down pins. Players with a sharp ear and fast reflexes will dominate in BOP-IT Boptigon as players are challenged to execute the right movement at the right time at an ever increasing feverish pace, and the Monopoly Crazy Cash Machine doles out big prizes to those who come out on top of Family Game Night.


"With a combined four million retail and connected console units of EA's HASBRO Family Game Night video game franchise sold worldwide, fans have really embraced the series and look forward to fresh and innovative twists with each new version," said Chip Lange, General Manager and Senior Vice President of EA's Hasbro Division. "Family Game Night 4: The Game Show will offer a completely new way to experience Family Game Night and bring these Hasbro game brands to life via motion sensing console technology, and is sure to delight families this fall."

Family Game Night 4: The Game Show offers two-player individual or simultaneous gameplay and can be tailored to the style of play the family or individual enjoys most in terms of choosing length of game show time or setting rules. The video game also offers Mii and avatar integration (Wii and Xbox 360 only).

"Playing Family Game Night 4: The Game Show will feel like a live game show is unfolding in your living room, delivering excitement, anticipation and competition," said Mark Blecher, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Digital Media and Gaming at Hasbro. "Innovative digital gameplay combined with the incorporation of elements that reflect The Hub's popular Family Game Night TV game show will launch players from the couch to their feet to engage in a high-energy Family Game Night showdown."
