EA Bringing Motion Based Trivia Game to Wii this Holiday

I’d put trivia games just a half-step behind the uninspired collection of minigames but EA’s Smarty Pants takes that half-step and makes it its own. Developed by Planet Moon the game uses the Wii’s motion sensing capabilities to let players spin the category wheel and play tug-of-war to settle a draw. “Buzzing in” is also more physical as players race to be the first to raise their WiiWand as the question appears on screen.

The game also promises to adjust the difficulty based on each players’ age and previous answers and with over 20,000 questions in several categories it should keep this trivial pursuit going much longer than that horrid Tamagotchi party game. Check out the video for a little more insight into just how this one plays.
