Apparently you get to interact with the characters from the show - a lot.  Also, THQ loses points for using the word Tween.

THQ Ships Zoey 101 for Game Boy® Advance   Popular Nickelodeon Live-Action Tween TV Series Graduates to Handheld Gaming

   

AGOURA HILLS, Calif.-- THQ Inc. today announced that Zoey 101 for the Game Boy® Advance has shipped to retail outlets throughout North America. Based on the wildly popular Nickelodeon live-action TV series, the game allows players to interact with their favorite characters from the show. Zoey 101 is rated “E" for everyone and is now available for a suggested retail price of $19.99.

   

“Zoey 101 has a tremendous following among tween girls and we’re thrilled to bring Nickelodeon’s live-action hit to the video game space for the first time," said Bob Aniello, senior vice president of worldwide marketing, THQ. “We look forward to working with Nickelodeon on this title and again in the future to bring additional Zoey 101 games as well as other live-action hits to gamers."

   

“We continue to work with THQ to create engaging games around our animated properties and are delighted to further expand the Nickelodeon video game portfolio to include games based on live-action hits," said Shaul Olmert, vice president of Digital Products, Nickelodeon. “Zoey 101 fans can now interact with their favorite characters from the show."

   

Mirroring the storylines of the first two seasons of the show, the game begins at the start of a new school year at the formerly all-boys Pacific Coast Academy (PCA) and title character Zoey Brooks, played by Jamie Lynn Spears, has her work cut out for her. As the battle of the sexes wages on and neither side is talking to each other, it is up to the player to help Zoey bring the boys and girls together for an awesome end-of-the-year bash. Players can interact with all the characters from the TV show and engage in dozens of replayable minigames including dance-offs, sports and scooter races. With multiple endings based on the decisions players make, the game promises hours of gameplay.
