Los Angeles, CA (May 22, 2002) - Infogramestoday announced Big Air Freestyle
for the GameCube,
slated ship to stores this fall. The motocross game features outrageous
stunts while offroad racing.
“The definitive Nintendo GameCube motocross game is here and it guarantees
the grittiest extreme sports rush imaginable,” says Jean-Philippe Agati, senior
vice president and head of Infogrames, Inc.’s Los Angeles studio. “With more
than 30 unreal stunts to attempt, awesome bike handling and two-player
multiplayer mode all rendered by the graphical capabilities of Nintendo GameCube,
gamers of all ages will be diving head-first into the mud-flinging excitement of
Big Air Freestyle.”
From Infogrames:
Big Air Freestyle offers deep gameplay with three unique gameplay modes,
encompassing the entire two-wheel offroad experience -- Motocross, Supercross
and Freestyle. Players choose to race on large outdoor tracks or specially
designed indoor arenas in Motocross and Supercross racing modes. Freestyle mode
invites gamers to careen through the air pulling off death-defying stunts in
indoor fantasy arenas loaded with ramps and “don’t try this at home” obstacles.
The grubby action takes place on more than 20 motocross and supercross tracks
and six fantasy freestyle arenas.
Gamers are challenged to land the sickest tricks that even motocross pros
won’t attempt. Freestyle mode dares gamers to attempt such absurd stunts as
pulling off a ‘monkey bar’ over the Tar Pits or nailing a ‘pommel horse’ over
the Zap Trap. Successfully completing the most extreme tricks in the allotted
time rewards the player with points, granting them access to new arenas.
Under development by Infogrames’ Paradigm Entertainment, Big Air Freestyle
promises to kick up dust this fall on Nintendo GameCube.
