[edit] Toys/Games
[edit] Doll
In 1999, Play Along Toys released the Britney Spears Doll. It was the first product ever released by this toy company. The doll featured Spears with various outfits, make-up and hairstyles from her concerts, appearances, photoshoots and music videos. Yaboom Toys also made a singing Britney Spears doll that would "sing' when you pressed a button on her belly. A porcelain doll was also made, as well as miniature dolls.
[edit] Video Game
Britney's Dance Beat is a one or two player music video game featuring songs and video appearances by Britney Spears. The story is that players must pass "auditions" to tour as Spears's dancers. The Game's engine is based on Enix's Dance Summit 2000, the third Bust a Groove/Move game.
Gameplay involves pressing buttons in time with music. Symbols for buttons are arranged in a circle, resembling a clock dial. A pointer sweeps around the dial, indicating when to press each button.
The game contains five songs: "...Baby One More Time", "Oops!... I Did It Again", "Stronger", "Overprotected" and "I'm a Slave 4 U". Successful play is rewarded with "backstage passes" which unlocks features such as backstage video footage of Britney.
There's also a video vault. When you complete auditions you get backstage passes to unlock 360 immersive videos and behind the scenes footage.
The game also includes various remixes during behind the scenes footage, menus, and credits. It also has photoshoots during credits.
A game by the same name was released for the PlayStation 2 , Game Boy Advance and PC.
[edit] Cell Phone Game
A cell phone game created by Qplaze-RME and Sony BMG titled "Adventures of Britney Spears" was announced in December 2005 but was never released. Images and video footage of the game were released along with the game's press release.
