Glen Cove, NY (May 9, 2000) - Acclaim Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKLM), a leading worldwide interactive entertainment company, today announced that its remote-control racer, Re-Volt 2: Pocket Rockets, is currently in development for the PlayStation? game console. Slated for a summer 2000 release, the game is based on the original Re-Volt and features new remote control cars and boats as well as all-new weapons, tracks, controls and environments.
"Acclaim Studios London has enhanced the Re-Volt engine to make ReVolt 2: Pocket Rockets a faster and graphically richer game that is specifically developed for the PlayStation," said Rick Mehler, marketing manager for Acclaim Entertainment. "The control, physics and collision systems have been optimized, and we are taking special care to include the key elements of Re-Volt that made the game an award-winner for the PC."
Re-Volt 2: Pocket Rockets will feature dozens of cars, trucks, and boats, some from the original Re-Volt. Racers will choose the vehicle which best suits their driving skills among three different categories: Top Speed, Handling, and Stability. Bonus vehicles open up as the players advance through the game.
Re-Volt 2: Pocket Rockets takes place within a Movie Themed World, similar to Universal Studios. Races to win the four cups (Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum) take place in five diverse environments including a Jungle World, Horror World, Sci-fi World, Monster World and Cartoon World. The races take place on water-specific and hybrid tracks so that boats can now race against cars. Re-Volt 2: Pocket Rockets also has a hand-brake feature specifically designed to enhance its gameplay by giving the player the ability to power-slide or perform super tight turns. The game is designed to be very easy to just pick up and play, even for beginners.
Acclaim's marketing campaign for Re-Volt 2: Pocket Rockets will include print advertisements in lifestyle, video game and hobby magazines. In addition, there will be a dedicated site on acclaim.com as well as online advertising on video game and RC sites.
