    Abstract: In the game program, playing teams in a competition game played by a CPU are determined by operation of a controller of the player through an playing team determining unit. An opening demonstration video of the competition game between the playing teams determined by the playing team determining unit is determined by the CPU, through an opening demonstration video determining unit. The opening demonstration video determined by the opening demonstration video determining unit is displayed or played back on a monitor by the CPU through an opening demonstration video display/playback unit prior to the start of a competition game. In this game program, after a virtual competition game is played by the CPU, a highlight scene in the virtual competition game that satisfies a predetermined highlight condition is determined from within the virtual competition game by a highlight scene determining unit.
