Atlus USA announced today the fall release of ChoroQ, available exclusively for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system. The ChoroQ brand and toy line--also known as Penny Racers in the U.S.-has its own long-running series of games, and this iteration is by far the most refined. Developed by Takara, ChoroQ uses an updated graphical engine, containing more cars, parts and extras than any previous version.
"ChoroQ can best be described as a CAR-PG - a slick combination of a fantasy style racer with the depth and story of a traditional role playing game." said Akibo Shieh, Project Leader at Atlus. "With its endless customization options, 160 crazy fantasy tracks and lengthy story mode you'll never run out of things to do in ChoroQ."
