Video Gaming News - December 2003
Redmond, WA (December 17, 2003) - Microsoft Game Studios today
announced that new content for Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge is now
available for download via Xbox Live and from the official site. The free
content includes the brand-new Fury plane, the Caverns multiplayer map, and a
Windows Media Player skin.
From Microsoft:
Small, agile and armed to the teeth with a pair of machine guns on each wing
and a secondary rapid-fire machine cannon, the lightly armored Fury is made for
dogfighting. The Fury’s maneuverability is ideal for the twists, turns and
confined spaces of the Caverns. In the newest multiplayer map, bases are located
in two cavernous tunnels connected by a single, twisting — and often deadly —
passage. While flying aces race through the perilous passage at breakneck
speeds, pilots lacking the intestinal fortitude for such skilled flying can play
it safe by manning one of three AA guns that defend each base. But whatever
players' individual roles may be, victory in these dangerous skies requires
strategy and focused teamwork.
Topping off these free offerings is a downloadable Crimson Skies: High Road
to Revenge skin for Windows Media Player available from the official site
www.xbox.com/crimsonskies. This red-hot skin brings the high-flying action
of Crimson Skies to your PC, showcasing unique analog controls and a
Devastator-inspired look.
Combining thrilling dogfights with the swashbuckling style of a Hollywood
action-adventure movie, Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge raises the bar for
aerial combat. Set in an alternate 1930s world of gunship diplomacy and sinister
intrigue, gamers pilot powerful aircraft against nefarious air pirates and
behemoth war zeppelins. Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge for Xbox is also
armed to the teeth with full Xbox Live support. Up to 16 players can battle
online or by System Link in a array of game modes including Dogfight, Team
Dogfight, Flag Heist, Wild Chicken, Keep Away and Team Keep Away. More
information about Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge, as well as in-depth
strategies and a fan site kit with all the trimmings, are available on the
official site, at
www.xbox.com/crimsonskies. Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge is now
available for an estimated retail price of $49.99 (U.S.).
