Video Gaming News - July 2002

Redwood City, CA (July 19, 2002) - Electronic Arts today officially announced Shox for the PlayStation 2 and the GameCube. 

From EA:

Shipping in Fall 2002, racing rookies as well as seasoned speed demons will hit the circuit to compete in amped-up arcade-style rally car racing.

Jumping into one of 24 licensed high voltage vehicles from famous makes like Audi, BMW, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Lancia, and Ford, players race through three-lap circuits of snow, desert, or jungle landscapes. Sliding through dusty roads, slipping on ice, and shredding through foliage, it's crowded on the open road, as six competing cars try to muscle into prime position, wreaking havoc along the way. Additionally, up to 4 players can compete for top rankings in a multiplayer split-screen mode.

Within each track are "Shox Zones" where players are awarded Bronze, Silver, and Gold placements based on their driving skills. Earn the Gold in all "Shox Zones" on a single track and a new circuit will be unlocked. Players can also put their own cars up as collateral in races with opponent in Wagering Mode to collect the ultimate off-road vehicle collection.
