Pro Bull Riding Game For Wii
Buck 'Tenacious Bulls' on 360, PSP, PC and PS2 as well
Meanwhile, back at the SPOnG Ranch...
Crave Entertainment and Professional Bull Riders, Inc. (PBR) have formed a partnership to create a Professional Bull Riders videogame for Wii, 360, PSP, PC and PS2.
Yes, you read that correctly. Bull riding. No details are forthcoming on a life-sized pneumatic bull peripheral to accompany the title, but SPOnG lives in hope.
From the press release just in, in case you think we’re having you on: “Capturing all the adrenaline and challenge of the Toughest Sport on Dirt, the game lets you play as a pro bull rider or as a bull in multiple events …the PBR games are scheduled for release in time for the World Finals beginning in October 2008.”
The game will allow players to create their own character and compete as a professional rider “or a tenacious bull” throughout various events across the US in locations such as New York, Anaheim, and Atlanta.
You too can play as Guilherme Marchi, Justin McBride, and Chris Shivers or one of the other pros. If those names ring any bells with you, SPOnG will wager that there is a more than high percentage chance that you are Texan!
"PBR has a dedicated fan base and the sport is poised to become the next NASCAR," said Rob Dyer, President of Crave Entertainment. "Capturing the intricacies, adrenaline rushes and excitement of professional bull riding is paramount to the success of the games."
Pro Bull Riding is the fastest growing sport in the U.S. with nearly 20 million fans watching or attending PBR events in 2006. Although bear in mind that those figures come straight from one Sean Gleason, the CMO of PBR.
Gleason has this comment to throw into the pen: "We are thrilled to partner with Crave Entertainment and D2C Games to bring the sport of professional bull riding to our millions of loyal fans."
