Dirty Dancing Game Video - Oh God No!!

Just when I thought I had seen the worst idea ever for a video game, I am saddened by the knowledge that I was so, so wrong.

Feast your eyes on Dirty Dancing, the game. Just make sure you have an empty stomach first.




Anne Parducci, vice president of marketing at Lionsgate film says, "For two decades, girls and women have identified with Baby, and through this wonderful game from Codemasters, they will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in her world like never before." Uh, ok then.

Two things strike me after watching this debacle. First of all, there is almost no dancing in the game at all, dirty or otherwise. Secondly, how did Codemasters ever decide this was a good idea?

This whole thing brings to mind one of my favorite sayings...

You can't polish a turd. 'Nuff said.
