Carlsbad, CA (August 6, 2003) - Sammy Studios today announced the

From Sammy Studios:
Scheduled for release exclusively for Sony PlayStation® 2 on September 9,
2003, Lethal Skies II is a fast-paced, arcade-style flight shooter and the
latest in the popular Lethal Skies jet combat series. The game’s dedicated web
site highlights the game’s amazing graphics, breakneck action and unique sci-fi
flavored premise through downloadable media and interactive features. Visitors
get access to a wide selection of screenshots, movies and artwork and can enter
a hangar that shows off the game’s variety of vehicles, missions and
environments. The site also provides links to what leading video game press
outlets are saying about the game, and lets those eager to jump into the cockpit
pre-order the title. Lethal Skies II is rated T for Teen and has an MSRP of
$39.99.
“Lethal Skies II should be on the radar of any PS2 gamer looking for a
white-knuckle single and two-player jet combat game,” said Tim Pivnicny, Senior
VP Sales & Marketing for Sammy Studios. “High-flying action, epic story and a
great variety of modern and futuristic fighter jets and enemy war machines make
this a must-own for fans of arcade-style combat.”
Lethal Skies II is set on a future Earth devastated by environmental
disaster, and now coping with wars among remaining nations. The web site
immerses visitors into the compelling universe of men and machines propelling
the action in this game. Screenshots, movies and a mission-by-mission debriefing
reveal the game’s depth and variety, and a fully interactive hangar and
armaments section displays the game’s arsenal of jet fighters and weapons. Here,
visitors can access images, specs and capabilities for a selection of fighter
jets that includes modern and super-advanced planes, with future site updates
unveiling the experimental “black ops” planes found in the game. Lethal Skies II
adds a whopping seven new jets for a total of 19 playable planes and has players
fighting through more than 20 missions, taking on conventional enemy weapons and
futuristic war machines. Players can even unlock bonus campaigns where they can
reverse roles and take over the enemy. The title also boasts a big feature
payload, with split-screen and i.Link 2-player mode, movie galleries, five 1st
and 3rd person POVs, customizable background music and the ability to command
wingmen. Once Lethal Skies II releases,
www.lethalskies.com
will become the destination for players looking for hints and strategies on
unlocking the many bonus features found in the game.
