EA GAMES ROLLS OUT EXOTIC, HIGH PERFORMANCE BOND VEHICLES FOR HOLLYWOOD STYLE ACTION IN 007 RACING FOR THE PLAYSTATION

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., November 17, 2000 – Superspy wannabes with dreams of driving the exotic, gadget-filled cars of James Bond will get their chance with the release of 007 Racing for the PlayStation® game console. This spy-packed action-driving game, published by Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:ERTS) under the new EA GAMES’ brand, marks the first Bond game to exclusively immerse players behind the wheel of Q-Branch vehicles in an array of mission-based environments. Adding to the game’s overall unique appeal is the original plot line that is inspired by the best, most memorable action scenes from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s (MGM) world-renowned James Bond franchise that has produced 19 memorable movies over the last 38 years.

In 007 Racing, a high ranking European diplomat and businessman plans to hijack a shipment of NATO weapons and smuggle them to international terrorists inside cars that roll off the assembly line of his automotive plants. As Bond, it is up to the player to stop him. Fortunately, the gamer is supplied with some of the most famous gadget-filled cars from the Bond universe to thwart the evil villain.

The game features 12 action-filled missions, inspired by memorable movie scenes, set in locations such as Eastern Europe, New York, Mexico and Louisiana. Each environment offers numerous and diverse action and stealth-based missions that the player must successfully complete in order to proceed. For example, in Estonia, the player must launch Stinger missiles from his Aston Martin DB5’ to bring down a helicopter and then employ the standard oil slick generator to give pursuing jeeps “the slip”.

Bond enthusiasts will experience what it feels like to drive the legendary Bond exotics BMW Z3’, BMW Z8’, BMW 750iL’, Lotus Esprit’, Aston Martin DB5 and Aston Martin Vantage’. Each vehicle in the game will carry a full complement of Q-branch gadgets and weaponry as well as new weapons that will help the player overcome specific challenges of missions. The arsenal includes machine guns, rockets, surface-to-air missiles, laser cutters, an oil slick generator, smoke screen and bulletproof rear screen. The vehicles will also feature physics model which accentuates 007’s no-holds barred driving style, and a progressive damage model that affects the look of the car and its performance. For example, a player who commits a twisting, somersault jump over a building in his Z8 at 100 mph and lands on the front bumper will see a resultant crumpled hood and lower top speed.

Staying true to the Bond universe, players will encounter recognizable henchmen such as Jaws as well as newly created villains for the game. Bond also will receive help from Bond allies of the past such as M, R, Q and his old CIA friend Jack Wade, each of whom will give the player tips and advice via audio and text to help achieve mission objectives. Actor/Comedian John Cleese, who plays R in the movie, “The World is Not Enough,” lends his talent as the voice of R in the game.

Multiplayer for 007 Racing supports two-players and features two modes, Challenge and Pass the Bomb, each of which can be played in eight uniquely designed two-player levels. In Challenge mode, players battle with their friends to find the ultimate 007 Racer. In Pass the Bomb, players engage in a game of “tag” to pass a ticking bomb before it detonates.

007 Racing for the PlayStation supports Dual Shock’. The game is rated “T” (Teen) and will ship with an MSRP of US $39.95.
