Video Gaming News - June 2004
Beverly, MA (June 15, 2004) - Atari today announced that Test Drive:
Eve of Destruction will be released this fall on the Xbox, in addition to the
previously announced version of the game which will be available for the
PlayStation 2 in September.
“We are thrilled to bring Test Drive: Eve of Destruction, the sequel to 2002’s
Platinum Hits Test Drive to Xbox fans this Fall,” said Nancy MacIntyre, Vice
President of Marketing for Atari’s Beverly Studios. “Monster Games has
reinvigorated the Test Drive franchise with this fresh departure from static
road-course racing without losing touch with the core elements that have made
Test Drive one of the most recognized and successful racing franchises in video
game history.”
From Atari:
Developed by Monster Games, Test Drive: Eve of Destruction captures the raw,
unfettered thrill of no-rules competition and is based on real-life extreme
racing events.
Test Drive: Eve of Destruction is the first Test Drive game to feature: vehicle
damage, dirt tracks, crazy events and unorthodox vehicles like school buses,
taxis and hearses. Since its debut in 1987, the Test Drive series has sold
through more than $137 million worth of product on console and PC.
Test Drive: Eve of Destruction blends the best elements of racing and demolition
and is packed with 25 different events, including Demo Derby, where the last car
standing wins; Gauntlet, where the player climbs behind the wheel of a hearse
and tries to finish a set number of laps while the rest of the field attempts to
stop him; Trailer Race, a new brand of racing event, where the player competes
while towing various types of trailers and must finish the race with something
resembling a trailer still attached.
Additionally, Test Drive: Eve of Destruction offers players a selection of more
than 30 nontraditional, custom vehicles, an in-game track announcer and a
split-screen multiplayer mode for up to four players.
