It's Real, It's Ugly, It's Racing! Atari Announces 'Test Drive®: Eve of Destruction'
Next Chapter of the Popular Test Drive® Racing Series Based On Actual Extreme Racing Competitions
Atari today announces the unpredictable new racing game, Test Drive®: Eve of Destruction for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system. Developed by Monster Games, Test Drive: Eve of Destruction captures the raw, unfettered thrill of no-rules competition and is based on real-life extreme racing events.
Test Drive®: Eve of Destruction is a departure from the traditional road course roots of the Test Drive series, featuring for the first time: vehicle damage, dirt tracks, crazy events and unorthodox vehicles like school buses, taxis and hearses. Since its debut in 1987, the Test Drive series has sold through more than £100 million worth of product on console and PC.
Test Drive®: Eve of Destruction blends the best elements of racing and demolition and is packed with 25 different events, including Demo Derby, where the last car standing wins; Gauntlet, the player climbs behind the wheel of a hearse and tries to finish a set number of laps while the rest of the field attempts to stop them; Trailer Race, a new brand of racing event, where the player competes while towing various types of trailers and must finish the race with something resembling a trailer still attached.
Additionally, Test Drive®: Eve of Destruction offers players a selection of more than 30 nontraditional, custom vehicles, an in-game track announcer and a split screen multiplayer mode for up to four players. Test Drive®: Eve of Destruction is scheduled to be released in Autumn.
