The9 Limited is a leader in online game operator. The9 entered and agreement with Yedang Entertainment, one of Korea’s top game publishers, and T3 Entertainment, a leader in online game development in Korea. The deal is for an exclusive license to operate Audition in Mainland China, Korea and Macau.

Audition is an online casual dance game and as of right now, the most popular game in Mainland China. The way it works is the player hits arrows on they keyboard in the order they see them displayed on the screen. The avatar on the screen dances to the steps the player hit. As your dancing you can receive perfects for doing the move perfectly. If you obtain two perfects in a row, you get to throw rings at your opponent while they dance. If you get a yellow ring while dancing, you lose points as long as the ring is there.

It sounds like Audition is similar, in popularity, to Blizzard’s World of Warcraft. There is a US client available for the game as well. The popularity has increased in the US thanks to commercials on MTV. If you would like to check out the game, you can find it here.

Audition sounds like an interesting game to play. I think I will be checking it out to see if the game is as good as it sounds.
