EA Ships Action Racing Title Shox for the Playstation 2
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. - Nov. 12, 2002 - Electronic Arts (Nasdaq:ERTS - News), the world's leading interactive entertainment software company, announced today that it has shipped Shox(TM) for the PlayStation® 2 computer entertainment system. Racing rookies as well as seasoned speed demons will hit the circuit to compete in amped-up arcade-style off-road car racing.
Jumping into one of 24 licensed high voltage vehicles from Porsche®, BMW®, Subaru®, Toyota(TM), Ford(TM), and other manufacturers, players race through three-lap circuits on dirt, snow, and asphalt. Sliding through dusty roads, slipping on ice, and shredding through tree-lined dirt trails, 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.
Shox for the PlayStation® 2 carries an "E" (Everyone) rating from the ESRB and is priced at US MSRP $49.99. Shox was developed by Electronic Arts UK.
