Finnish Mobile Entertainment Powerhouse Announces Roster of BREW-based Games
LAS VEGAS, Oct. 20 -- Sumea, an award-winning game publisher, today announced three of its most popular, premium wireless game titles, developed for QUALCOMM's Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless(TM) (BREW) platform, are available for operators that have deployed BREW-based products and services. Users will soon be able to play and enjoy Yo-Yo Fighter, Fantasy Warrior and Racing Fever 2 on their BREW-enabled handsets.
The three popular titles include:
* Yo-Yo Fighter -- A platform-style game in which the player controls
the hero Yozo in his attempt to rescue his friend Jaco who is lost on
the World of Stone. The game features a total of 17 action-packed
levels with plenty of obstacles to negotiate and lots of baddies to
slay... with a yo-yo! Superb graphics, a great storyline and the odd
cheat or two, make the game play of this new title totally addictive
and captivating for a wide audience.
* Fantasy Warrior -- A story-driven, role-play adventure game with
multiple characters, monsters, dungeons and collectable items, in
which the player controls a boy called Rento, the hero. Rento must
find a way to dispel the sealed dungeon's spell while doing favors for
people along the way who can help in his quest. By practicing Rento's
fighting skills with fearless sword masters and collecting uniquely
mysterious artifacts, you will finally get to meet the fearsome demons
and cyclops who guard the gate to the Mountain of Darkness.
* Racing Fever 2 -- This sequel to Racing Fever -- Sumea's most famous
game to date and the benchmark for mobile racing games -- includes
multiple tracks, road types, weather conditions and opponent drivers.
The objective in Racing Fever 2 is to drive better and faster than
your current opponent to unlock the next track. But you'd better make
sure that you don't collide with slower cars on the road, as this will
slow you right down!
