Video Gaming News - October 2002
Foster City, CA (October 29, 2002) - Sony Computer Entertainment
America Inc. announced today the release of Jet X2O available exclusively for
the PlayStation 2. Developed by Killer Game and produced by Sony Computer
Entertainment America's San Diego development studio, Jet X2O puts the player in
the driver seat of a watercraft to race and perform tricks through
point-to-point courses in eight environments.
"Racing on watercrafts through graphically impressive exotic locales while
performing mind-blowing tricks in Jet X2O provides racing fans with a unique
forum to live-out their watersport fantasies," said Ami Blaire, director,
product marketing, Sony Computer Entertainment America. "We are thrilled to
bring Jet X20 to gaming fans this fall as it takes the watersport racing
category to new dimensions on PlayStation 2."
From Sony:
Jet X2O extends the watercraft racing experience beyond typical lap racing,
delivering intriguing race environments inspired by a broad range of locations,
such as the Arctic, a canyon, a Pacific island and the legendary city of
Atlantis. Each course contains multiple routes to reach the finish line for
increased strategy and replay variety. In these massive environments, players
are challenged to perform more than 30 intense motocross-inspired tricks as well
as character-specific tricks in various race modes. With ten highly stylized
watercrafts to choose from, players can race through water and terrain of all
sorts -- where one will not only have to worry about their own watercraft
stability but also beware of competitors' aggressive racing and the effect of
the watercraft waves around them. In addition, players can select characters
from eight different countries with unique personalities that carry over in to
their race etiquette on the course.
Jet X2O offers single- and multi-player gameplay in which racing fans and
watercraft lovers alike can enjoy four gameplay modes, including Trick Race,
which ranks players by racing ability and trick points; Season Mode, which
encompasses All Trick Races; Big Wave Mode, a practice area for players to
refine their turning, sub-diving and tricking skills; and Trick Mode, in which
players must accumulate trick points within a limited timeframe.
