ONI, Midnight Club: Street Racing, and Smuggler's Run For

PlayStation 2 To Be Displayed For First Time Ever At E3 2000

Rockstar Games, Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:TTWO) high end video game publishing division, is set to unveil its impressive PlayStation(R)2 lineup for the first time ever at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), taking place at the L.A. Convention Center from May 11th through May 13th.

E3 attendees will have the opportunity to play and experience Rockstar Games' highly-anticipated ONI, Midnight Club: Street Racing, and Smuggler's Run for PlayStation 2 at the Take-Two Interactive booth in the L.A. Convention Center's South Hall, Booth 400. ONI and Smuggler's Run have also received the distinct honor of being prominently displayed in Sony's (NYSE:SNE) own booth at E3.

"We are extremely excited to be demonstrating three products for Sony's incredibly powerful PlayStation 2, which will launch in the United States on October 26 of this year," stated Ryan Brant, Chief Executive Officer. "We have spent a considerable amount of effort building a strong line-up for PlayStation 2, and we are pleased to be showing the fruits of these efforts at this early stage."

"We are extremely excited to unveil and showcase our remarkable PlayStation 2 lineup at this year's E3," stated Sam Houser, president of Rockstar Games. "ONI, Midnight Club: Street Racing and Smuggler's Run will undoubtedly impress and delight as these astounding PlayStation 2 titles represent a new groundbreaking, dynamic in video games and provide amazing gameplay experiences that will undoubtedly challenge players' conceptions of what is possible in a video game. With Sony's prominent display of Smuggler's Run and ONI at their booth at this year's E3 only highlighting Rockstar's commitment to creating games that are unique and take full advantage of the powerful PlayStation 2 hardware."

ONI tells the story of Konoko, an elite cop and one-woman SWAT team whose approach to fighting crime is a devastating combination of rational calculation and fighting fury. She is also a woman divided and haunted by shadows in her past, by oni ("ghosts" or "demons" in Japanese). ONI seamlessly blends hand-to-hand martial arts combat and gunplay into a single, new third-person 3D action hybrid. Complex technologies bring ONI's world to stunning life. Oni uses interpolation in its character animations, which means that Konoko can sprint forward, tuck into a dive roll, and then pop up into a flying kick, all in one smooth, continuous movement, reacting instantaneously to the controls. Developed internally by Rockstar in conjunction with critically-acclaimed Bungie Software, ONI is set for release on the PlayStation 2 this year with simultaneous release on PC and Mac.

Midnight Club: Street Racing is a game based around illegal street racing. Players drive performance enhanced cars around busy city streets until they are challenged by another member of the illusive Midnight Club, and race at breakneck speeds through the city. Set in realistic, incredibly detailed, three-dimensional models of the world's greatest cities, Midnight Club: Street Racing will feature single and multiplayer modes, many different vehicles and some of the greatest car tuning shops in the world. Developed by award-winning Angel Studios, Inc., Midnight Club: Street Racing is set for release this year on PlayStation 2.

Smuggler's Run is an open plan racing game in which players have to deliver contraband across borders while being chased by the police and other smuggling operations. Set in a variety of rural environments, with an incredible new panoramic perspective, the game has a phenomenal physics engine to faithfully recreate the speed and sensations of tearing across the country, through farms, fences and forests while trying to outrun a variety of enemies. Smuggler's Run also introduces to driving titles fully interactive supporting non-player characters, which the player can use to distract and attack his pursuers. As the second title being developed by award-winning Angel Studios, Inc., Smuggler's Run is also set for release this year on PlayStation 2.
