Synes du formel er lidt for pænt og WRC Rally er alt for stramt organiseret, så vil Acclaims kommende bilspil – Dakar 2 – måske kunne appellere til dig. Spillet er bygget over det legendariske Paris-Dakar Rally, som igennem årene har krævet en del ofre – i form af eventyrlystne amatører, som har knækket halsen i det afrikanske sand. Nu kan du snart forsøge dig selv helt uden rigtige skammer. Vi har pressemeddelelsen og ti flotte screenshots klar i dag.

ACCLAIM ENTERTAINMENT TAKES ARCADE RACING TO NEW DEPTHS WITH DAKAR 2 FOR ALL NEXT-GENERATION SYSTEMS



Dakar 2 Builds On Success Of Paris-Dakar Rally By Delivering Exciting New Features, Adventure And Full-On Arcade Action



LONDON, UK, September 19, 2002 – Back in the driving seat, Acclaim Entertainment today announced it will release Dakar 2, the all-action arcade version of the most radical endurance rally in the world, across all console platforms in February 2003. The game sees a radical departure from the original, offering a wealth of options and gameplay advancements which will leave off-road race fans gripped and on the edge of their seat as they battle for the finish line.

“Dakar 2 is a totally new game rather than a simple improvement on the original,” said Ned Browning, European Brand Manager. “Dakar 2 will provide a distinctive gameplay experience that really challenges the player and will offer a unique and exciting alternative to the traditional formulaic rally game.”

Founded on two essential values – courage and endurance – the Dakar Rally has always united in the grandest and most extreme settings – the most beautiful and mythical of all deserts – the Sahara. The Paris-Dakar Rally famously pits 350 drivers against each other in a gruelling race over 6,500 miles. Participants race a variety of mixed-terrain vehicles including motorcycles, off-road 4X4 trucks and rally cars. Drivers are not only subjected against the fierce competition of several hundred other drivers but also need to battle against the most severe rallying conditions from the vastly challenging terrain and intense climate and weather conditions.
