 developer and operator in China, today announced that it will launch the
 "Dream Club" expansion pack for its 3D online casual game "Hot Dance

     Based on the Company's high quality game, "Hot Dance Party," the brand
 new "Dream Club" expansion pack creatively incorporates management features
 into an online dancing game. Online game players are allowed to get
 authorization to operate dance clubs. According to their own management
 strategies, online game players can conduct various investment activities
 such as purchasing new songs, new scenes, experience multiplier cards and
 coin multiplier cards to attract more online game players to go to their
 clubs. As more game players are attracted to their clubs, the dance club
 operators can get more in game currency as the reward to reinvest in their
 clubs. "Dream Club" allows online game players to experience the
 self-fulfillment of operating dance clubs while enjoying the energetic
 experience brought by dancing.
 
     Furthermore, "Dream Club" enhances the graphic design of the game which
 provides a more vivid game experience to online game players. The game also
 includes the following distinctive features such as a group dance of 50
 players, club dance-offs, self-created choreography and personalized
 make-ups, all of which enrich the content and playability of the online
 casual dancing game.
 
     "As one of the most notable online casual dancing games in the domestic
 market, 'Hot Dance Party' has been well-received since its launch,"
 commented Mr. Michael Chi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Perfect
 World. "The launch of 'Dream Club' is expected to further enhance the
 playability of 'Hot Dance Party' with additional innovative features. I
 believe those features will provide a more energetic and fun experience to
 online game players."
