Infogrames Sends Sega Dreamcast Into Orbit
Famous Looney Tunes characters race to stores this week To kick off a Looney Tunes holiday season.
Forget making that left at Albuquerque Bugs, you're on the wrong planet! Infogrames announced today that it is bringing everyone's favorite Looney Tunes characters to life in Looney Tunes: Space Race, an out-of-this-world kart-style racing game for Sega Dreamcast available at stores this week. All is fair in love and racing, so stock up on gags and traps and get ready to rocket!
The ACME Corporation, maker of the universe's most sought after products, is the sponsor of the wildest race of the new Mil-Looney-Um, Looney Tunes: Space Race. The game's objective is to achieve the top prize -- a lifetime supply of ACME products! Up to four players will take on the role of eight different Looney Tunes characters and their outrageously unique rocket-powered space vehicles including Bugs Bunny in his Carrot Racer and Elmer Fudd in his Sabre Jet. Inspired by the world of Looney Tunes, players will race through graphically rich, intricately detailed environments and interact with other characters in genuine Looney Tunes style, placing them in the middle of a lifelike Looney Tunes' cartoon.
'Looney Tunes: Space Race is a refreshing break from traditional arcade-style racing -- it stars the famous Looney Tunes characters, features the classic comedy elements of the Warner Bros. cartoons and combines them with a space age take on kart racing,' said Jeff Nuzzi, director of marketing for Infogrames' I-Stars Label. 'Players of all ages will marvel at the beautiful, vibrant graphics and the fluid, realistic gameplay showcased by the Dreamcast technology. '
In the only racing game of its kind with licensed characters for the Dreamcast, players will race through 12 unique Looney Tunes inspired tracks such as Off World City, the Asteroid Belt and Planet
ACME. Each track features unique environmental gags, challenging jumps, tunnels, shortcuts and traps players can use to help them get ahead in the race. In addition to the eight playable characters, there are seven more popular Looney Tunes characters that make special appearances, including Foghorn Leghorn who stars as the event announcer and Lola Bunny as the track-side reporter.
Developed by Infogrames' Melbourne House, Looney Tunes: Space Race is available at an estimated retail price of $29.99 and can be found at most major retail outlets.
