Video Gaming News - July 2005
New York, NY (July 26, 2005) - Atari announced today that DRIV3R is
currently in development for the Game Boy Advance and is due to be released in
fall 2005.
From Atari:
Developed by G. Dubail and F. Velez, the talented development team behind a
string of best-selling Game Boy Advance titles including Stuntman and V-Rally 3,
DRIV3R provides a very unique gaming experience to the console and PC versions.
DRIV3R for the Game Boy Advance features huge environments, character and
vehicle control, and intricate collisions, to create the ultimate Hollywood
driving adventure for a handheld device.
The game consists of a single enormous ‘Undercover’ game mode which encompasses
missions and driving mini-games. The 25 missions tell the tale of a jaw
breaking, no-holds-barred undercover cop and master “Wheelman”, Tanner, as he
infiltrates the local and international underworld. The first 12 missions take
place in Miami with the remainder set in the French city of Nice. With over 30
miles of streets to explore in each city, the player is free at any time to take
a rest from the missions and go for a casual ride around town, gun in hand, in
one of the more than 25 vehicles available. Alternatively they can chose to test
their mettle playing one of the driving mini-games, including Slalom,
Checkpoint, Trailblazer and Destruction.
“Driver is one of Atari’s major franchises, with a proven audience and
following,” said Marc Metis, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Atari, Inc.
“We are excited to extend this latest version of the brand to the handheld
market with a Game Boy Advance offering.”
DRIV3R for the Game Boy Advance will be released fall 2005. For more information
