BEIJING, March 27 -- Walt Disney's Buena Vista Games Inc. said Friday it plans to release a PC video game based on the popular television show "Desperate Housewives" this fall.

    In the game, players take on the role of a new Wisteria Lane housewife, who can uncover or create new scandals on the seemingly idyllic street where the show takes place.

    ¡°Sometimes you just want to be more in that world than you can be on TV,¡± said Mary Schuyler, the game's lead producer, who added that players will be able to pick their own in-game persona.

    ¡°You can be as nice or as mean as you'd like to be,¡± she said.

    Actress Brenda Strong, who is the voice of the show's deceased narrator, Mary Alice Young, has signed on to play a similar role in the game. Negotiations are in the works with other cast members, a spokeswoman for Buena Vista Games said.
