ACTIVISION PUBLISHING PUTS THE
FUN BACK IN THE LAB WITH SCIENCE PAPA THIS JULY

Activision Publishing, Inc. today
announced Science Papa is coming to Wii and Nintendo DS  this July. Using
fundamentals from a wide variety of sciences as a basis for fun skill-based
experiments, Science Papa will turn living rooms into virtual laboratories that
will fuel kids’ curiosity.

“With Science Papa, we’re taking
real-world elements of science and giving players the chance to interact with
them in safe and creative ways,” said David Oxford, Activision Publishing.
“While the focus here is clearly family fun, the game can stimulate interest and
discussion about science.”

In Science Papa, the player is the
newest member of Science Papa’s research team, looking to become the greatest
scientist in the world. It won’t be easy, however, as players must prove their
scientific worth against a crazy cast of rival scientists in intense
competitions. Science Papa features over 30 different experiments for players,
and by utilizing motion controls or Nintendo DS stylus, players will pour and
mix chemicals, pound objects into dust, monitor Bunsen burners, fix and use lab
equipment and more. Players can also invite their friends into the lab, and
compete against each other in split screen science competitions to see who can
finish an experiment first, and with the most precision.
