More On: Scene it: Bright Lights! Big Screen!
How could Warner Bros. resist the casual gaming bounty of the Wii? After last years successful but puzzlingly exclusive release of Scene it? on the 360, they're bringing the sequel, Bright Lights! Big Screen! to all three major platforms. It looks like your typical sequel--thousands more trivia questions, a handful of new modes, better interface, more minigames and puzzles. No word on whether that goofy you'll-only-use-it-once Scene It controller will come to the Wii and PS3, but the game itself is a perfect fit for the casual game-heavy Wii. Goofy name with exclamation points? Check. Minigames? Check. Fun for the whole family tagline? You better believe it.
