Rollcage Races Onto Stores Shelves; Psygnosis' Ultra-destructive, Explosive Racing Game Roars through the Finish Line in a Blaze of Glory!

FOSTER CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 25, 1999--Psygnosis announces the release of Rollcage(TM), its ultra-destructive, three hundred and sixty degrees, no rules racing game.

Nothing less than the fastest, most explosive and outrageous game on wheels, Rollcage is now available in stores everywhere for an estimated retail price of between $44.49 and $49.99, for the PlayStation(R) game console and PC CD-ROM.

Rave Reviews

The press reaction to Rollcage has been phenomenal and the game has garnered excellent reviews worldwide. PSM magazine -- the number one PlayStation magazine in North America -- gives Rollcage a 4.5 out of 5 stars in its April 1999 issue, describing the game as "one of the fastest and most insanely fun racers ever." GamePro, the world's largest multi-platform gaming magazine, also gives Rollcage a rave review in its April 1999 issue, and declares "Rollcage ranks among the PlayStation's best fantasy racers."

Drive on the Ceiling

Fast and furious, armed and dangerous, the vehicles in Rollcage are a world away from those found in more traditional racing titles. These low-slung mean machines achieve incredible speeds and pull some of the most outlandish manoeuvres. High G-forces mean they stick to surfaces like glue, enabling them to drive along tunnel walls and even ceilings. Their indestructible design makes death-defying flips, drops, and crashes a breeze. Even when they flip upside down, they just keep going. Such extreme handling means there's no need to stick to the confines of a track or pay heed to designated route. This is three hundred sixty degrees, no rules racing!

A New Kind Of Road Rage 

Not only are the vehicles in Rollcage built for speed, they're also ready for battle. While driving any of the six available models, you pick up high-power weaponry that can prove just as crucial to winning as your driving expertise. Blast a building support up ahead and you can send several tons of concrete down on a rival. Or, for a more personal touch, the vehicle itself can be used as a weapon, smashing into scenery causing it to explode, leaving buildings tumbling in its wake, and causing general mayhem. Only by playing dirty can players take the pole position.

Top Gear

A non-stop battle for road supremacy, Rollcage includes 20 tracks: 10 league tracks, 3 tracks designed specifically for multiplayer gaming, 1 practice track and a variety of ultimate skill hidden tracks in 4 unique racing environments, taking the action away from familiar climbs and off to strange new worlds, where the unique effects of alien gravity and local weather can hugely affect the driving conditions. On the PC CD ROM version, LAN and Internet play is supported, and a split-screen mode is also included on both platforms.

As stomach churning as a rollercoaster ride and as demanding as championship racing, Rollcage is probably the most accessible yet relentlessly challenging racing experience ever. Remember, it's not the taking part that counts. It's the winning!
