SouthPeak
Games
announced
today that
Iridium
Runners has
shipped for
the
Playstation®2
computer
entertainment
system. The
high
intensity
on-foot
racing title
developed by
Playstos
Entertainment
is rated “E”
for Everyone
and is
available
now.
Iridium
Runners
takes video
game racing
to a whole
new level.
Set in the
future where
cars have
been made
obsolete by
the blazing
speed
humanity has
achieved on
foot,
Iridium
Runners is a
no holds
barred,
furiously
fast racing
game that
allows
players to
step on
shrunken
opponents
and knock
others over
the edge of
the track
and into
oblivion.
With 20
characters
and 8
sidekick
pods, each
with
differing
strengths
and
weaknesses,
knowing the
track, your
opponents
and which
combination
to pick is
essential to
winning,
Iridium
Runners
features
several game
modes, from
a deep
Championship
to a single
race, as
well as
split-screen
multiplayer.
A team mode
is also
featured,
allowing for
two paired
teammates to
race and
battle one
another on
all the
tracks.
“Iridium
Runners is
the perfect
racing game
for gamers
looking for
something
different,”
said Luca Da
Rios, CEO
and
executive
producer,
Playstos
Entertainment.
“Behind its
cartoon
style and
futuristic
setting
hides a deep
and
challenging
racing title
that can be
both fun to
pick up and
play, as
well as
demanding
enough to
play for
hours on
end.”
