Posted 07 Oct 2003 at 15:03 by Tim Symons
Italian developer Milestone today announced FX Racing for Xbox, PS2, PC and GameCube as part of its line-up for 2004.
FX Racing aims to take multi-player driving action to new extremes with up to 4 players competing against each other and AI controlled opponents head-to-head in split screen mode.
Players will also be able to perform stunts like jumps, spins, power slides and two-wheeling, which will earn them a variety of weapons (Stunt FX) for use against their opponents. With 18 tracks based across three visually stunning worlds � Egypt, Transylvania and Tokyo � there are great opportunities for spectacular stunts.
In total there will be 30 vehicles available each featuring variable levels of damage and 6 custom paintwork styles.
Milestone's Managing Director, Antonio Farina commented, "We specialise in producing high quality racing games. FX Racing combines the key elements of fast-paced race action with awesome stunts and weapons and will be one of our key titles for 2004."
He added, "As Italians we love to drive cars like maniacs � in real life and of course in videogames � have you seen how they drive in Rome? Totally crazy! They might not have the weapons that we have in FX Racing but the excitement and fear of tearing around the city is real � and we've tried to capture and recreate those feelings in this game."
FX Racing is due for release in Q1 2004.
