There's no track here -- no flags, no spectators. Re-Volt takes the racing genre and turns it upside-down by having you race at breakneck speed through crazy places such as a supermarket, museum, garden, cruise ship, neighborhood, the Wild Wild West, and Toy World. These seven fun and wacky interactive environments are chock-full of eye candy. Each of the 28 Re-Volt racers has a unique personality and a mind for destruction. Two of the cars are brand new and 12 were made specifically for Sega Dreamcast. New gameplay and feature improvements are based on consumer feedback from the award-winning PC version. There are tons of pick-ups, weapons, and surprises in this reward-as-you-go game. Track Editor lets you create and save your own tracks, and the graphics deliver the racing experience in 128-bit glory.

Four multiplayer arenas. New rooftop level. Five single-player game modes. Stunning physics engine. 15 single-player tracks in eight interactive environments. Five skill levels. Racing and battle multiplayer modes.

Acclaim's R/C Racer Re-Volt Burns Rubber On The

Sega Dreamcast

Dream racer for Dreamcast to hit store shelves today!

GLEN COVE, N.Y., December 17, 1999 - Acclaim Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ:AKLM), a leading worldwide interactive entertainment company, today announced that its acclaimed radio-controlled racing game, Re-Volt, will arrive on store shelves today for the Sega Dreamcast. The game features the award winning graphics and gameplay of the critically praised PC version and adds new cars, new rooftops level, updated graphics, and improved arcade style control.

"Re-Volt features fast, furious and super-fun R/C racing action," said Noah Ullman, product manager at Acclaim Entertainment. "Combined with completely accurate racing physics and impeccable control, Re-Volt packs an incredibly fun racing experience into the Sega Dreamcast."

Re-Volt is developed by Acclaim Studios London and lets gamers race 42 (up from 28 in the PC version) unique cars in places they always wanted to, but couldn't, until now. Gamers get to rip it up through the most amazing 3D environments ever seen in a racing game. Barrel through botanical gardens, maraud through museums, smash through supermarkets, go wild in the Wild West or rip it up on the new rooftops level. Re-Volt features numerous scale-sized pick-ups and weapons, such as shock waves and bottle rockets that contain more firepower than a full size patriot missile. Also included is a comprehensive track editor that lets gamers create and save their tracks, resulting in unlimited replayability.

Acclaim Studios London developed the advanced proprietary physics engine that enables the game to capture the true "look and feel" of R/C racing. Crashes, stunts, skids, and even the car's antennas are created through computer models designed to simulate real-life as accurately as possible.

Re-Volt for Sega Dreamcast is featured in the Official Dreamcast Magazine, The Unofficial Dreamcast Magazine, Next-Generation and other targeted Sega Dreamcast print media. Additional plans include Internet and print advertising, specifically with gaming and racing websites and magazines. In addition, Re-Volt will feature a broad in-store program, a detailed R/C focused website at Re-Volt.com, and co-promotions with strategically targeted partners.

Press Release - Nintendo 64, PlayStation and Windows

Remote control cars race through toy stores and over rooftops in Re-Volt, an unique new racing game from Acclaim.

Re-Volt lets you guide one of 28 remote control cars through insane race tracks set in unusual environments. Since the cars are the size of real remote control vehicles, objects found around the track are bigger than life. Curbs become huge walls, toys are obstacles, and everything is fair game to drive on, through, or over. There are 14 different tracks spread throughout four Cups, including races set in museums, supermarkets, and settings which may look like your own neighborhood.

Re-Volt is driven by completely new physics and graphics engines, which create flashy lighting effects and authentic environments. Realistic shadows combine with rich textures to make the over-sized racing areas appear convincingly gargantuan. Re-Volt uses the Expansion Pak, and the folks at Acclaim London report that the extra memory is used solely for graphic enhancements.

There are more than 28 different remote control vehicles, but most of them are not available until you've proven yourself on the race course. Similarly, you won't see the more advanced tracks unless you place well in the beginning races. Once you blaze through all 14 courses, you'll be able to access the mirrored tracks which have become a standard addition to N64 racing.

Ultimately, there is no end to the number of tracks offered in Re-Volt. As long as your creative juices are flowing, you can use the game's Track Edit mode to create your own customized courses. These tailored tracks can be saved onto the Controller Pak, so you can show off your design skills at a friend's house.

In addition to the Track Edit mode, RC technicians can conquer the following play modes:

Single Race
Championship
Multiplayer
Time Trial
Practice
Stunt Arena

After selecting the mode of play, players can then choose between the following game configurations:

Simulation (Full Speed; Realistic Collision)
Arcade (Full Speed, Simple Car Collision)
Console (Full Speed; Simple Collision)
Junior RC (Reduced Speed; Simple Collision)

Re-Volt's 14 courses are set in 7 different interactive environments littered with power-ups such as homing rockets, water balloons and turbo boosts. You can use these items against the computer, or annihilate your pals in the four-player racing or battle modes.

The vehicles react differently to varying road surfaces, including slick marble floors and sticky carpeted hallways. Each vehicle drives differently according to its unique combination of speed, acceleration and weight.

Like real RC cars, Re-Volt's miniature machines are extremely sensitive to the slightest movement of the Control Stick. This can initially cause over-steering and spin-outs, but after a few test laps most drivers will begin to feel the groove.

Backed by a bumpin' soundtrack and a truckload of sound effects, Re-Volt is an entertaining racing game. At the end of our test drive we were left left with only question: What happens when the cars run out of batteries?
