Video Gaming News - March 2004
Redmond, WA (March 5, 2004) - Microsoft today announced that Xbox Live
gamers will have a chance to race against Fefe Dobson in the game Project Gotham
Racing 2.
From Microsoft:
She can sing, but can she rule the roads in Project Gotham Racing® 2? That's
the question several lucky gamers will face in the newest Xbox Live "Game with
Fame" contest, featuring pop rock musician Fefe Dobson. Gamers who register at
www.xbox.com/en-US/news/events/gamewithfame-fefedobson-main.htm by March 7
will get the chance to be one of the lucky hundred who are added to Fefe's Xbox
Live Friends List. On March 10, Fefe will personally invite a few of those
hundred gamers to race against her in Project Gotham Racing 2 between 5:00 and
7:00 PM EST. This event marks the first time a female celebrity has taken part
in "Game with Fame," and Fefe intends to prove that girl gamers can tear up the
tarmac with speed and style.
Hailing from Toronto, 19-year old Fefe Dobson has been impressing everyone
for whom she meets and performs. Equal parts spunky punk, thrusting rock, and
melodic pop, Fefe's self-titled debut has garnered major critical acclaim and
spawned the hit singles, "Take Me Away" and "Everything".
Project Gotham Racing 2 is the follow-up to the smash hit Project Gotham
Racing. Rewarding drivers for racing with speed, style and daring, Project
Gotham Racing 2 offers circuit-based racing through highly detailed city
environments. Racers can choose from more than 100 of the hottest cars - from
speed-drenched exotics to sweet import tuners - while power-sliding through the
streets of 10 exciting cities, drifting around corners and accelerating through
the straightaways before moving to a different venue. PGR 2 now sets the
standard for online racing via Xbox Live online game service. Players can match
up against seven other friends online utilizing Xbox Live for intense grudge
matches, or play the entire single-player game with online-enabled downloadable
ghosts, real-time scoreboards, and soon, new downloadable cars and tracks.
Nearly 200,000 gamers are playing PGR 2 on Xbox Live worldwide.
Xbox Live's "Game With Fame" promotion gives game fans the opportunity to
play on Xbox Live against some of today's hottest stars. Past "Game with Fame"
celebrity players include Big Boi from OutKast, Jonathan Davis from KoRn and the
members of New Found Glory.
