The company will unveil Yoostar2 this week to the gaming industry and press at the E3 Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles.

Yoostar2 allows players to perform in hundreds

Hollywood “green screen” style effects without

scenes and play the roles of the world’s most
famous actors.
“Yoostar2 will bring the magic and fun of
Hollywood into living rooms across America,”
said Gregory Fischbach, President and CEO,
Yoostar Entertainment Group. “The new console
platforms have allowed us to make the experience
totally immersive and incredibly easy.”

Once a scene is recorded, players can upload
their performances to Xbox LIVE online
entertainment network or the PlayStation
Network, share the performances on social
networks such as Facebook and Yoostar.com and
view them on virtually all devices, including
Smart Phones, PC’s and Consoles. Players
increase status through community participation,
such as sharing, rating and commenting on
others’ performances. “We have created something
entirely new—a ‘Social Video Game’ that bridges
the worlds of social games and video games,”
said Fischbach. “The result is a game that’s
incredibly fun to play with friends, lets you
create and share your own video online, and
provides a social game mechanic that motivates
you to play and participate in the community.
It’s like nothing the video game industry has
seen before.”

Yoostar2 features an innovative user interface
driven by KinectTM for Xbox 360 gesture-based
technology and PlayStation Move motion
controllers and created by Blitz Games Studios,
one of the world’s leading game developers.
Players’ performances are scored, allowing them
to rise from “struggling actor” to “superstar”,
but the game also encourages improvised
performances that draw on players’ creativity.
Yoostar2 features multiple gameplay modes,
including a “party mode” that allows a group of
players to perform in quick succession and a
progression mode where players face a series of
challenges and unlock new scenes.
Yoostar has secured world-class movie content
from leading motion picture studios, including
Paramount, Universal, MGM, Lions Gate, and
Warner Bros. The Yoostar library features
hundreds of iconic movie scenes and top
Hollywood talent. The game comes with 60 scenes,
and players can purchase and download additional
scenes from the Yoostar library during or apart
from gameplay.
