Codemasters joins the Toon Army with Newcastle United Club Football 2005
Toon army signing completes 10-strong "Club Football 2005" UK range of official team-specific games.
Codemasters’ Club Football 2005 range is pulling on an additional set of colours when the famous black and white stripes of Newcastle United join the unique football game range. Codemasters confirmed today it has secured the rights to publish Newcastle United Club Football 2005, the club’s official video game.
The Newcastle United signing is a powerful addition for the Club Football 2005 range of games, which will encompass an individual game for the top clubs, when it launches this October for PlayStation 2 and Xbox (See Notes for full list).
In Newcastle United Club Football 2005, Shearer, Bellamy, Butt, Kluivert, Given and the Magpies’ entire first team have been individually 3D modelled in striking visual detail for the game and St. James’ Park has been accurately computer modelled from architectural drawings and detailed photographs, right down to the real sponsor hoardings and banners. You can even put yourself in the game, complete with your name on the shirt in the game’s career mode where you hone your skills in preparation to play for the first team.
Says Trevor Garwood, Director of Commercial Affairs at Newcastle United Football Club: “We were very impressed with Codemasters’ debut range and we are delighted to see Newcastle United joining the Club Football 2005 range. We’re confident that Newcastle United Club Football 2005 will be one of the major players this season.”
Newcastle United joins the range which already boasts over 20 top UK and continental European football clubs from Manchester United Club Football 2005 to Real Madrid Club Football 2005. New English signings also include Tottenham Hotspur Club Football 2005 and Birmingham City Club Football 2005.
For the new season, the Club Football 2005 range is bigger and bolder with a new game engine to power faster and more responsive gameplay. With twice the amount of official team content in each game, great skill moves and new game modes including Career, Practice and classic Scenarios, the new Club Football 2005 range will bring players even closer to the heart of the action and the heart of their team.
