IN-FUSIO Launches IF Racing Head2Head For U.S. carriers
LOS ANGELES - Sept. 22, 2004 - IN-FUSIO, the leading mobile game publisher and game services provider worldwide, today announced the launch of the highly anticipated sequel, IF Racing Head2Head. The newest installment of the successful Formula One racing series is available now for mobile phones in the U.S. on the Brew(tm) platform and will launch next month for Java(tm).
Racing enthusiasts can slip behind the wheel of a slick, speedy Formula One car as they put their driving skills to the test and compete for the world championship. IF Racing Head2Head puts gamers at the starting line against 19 other drivers on 16 different international tracks, including Tokyo and Australia. Before securing the checkered flag, however, racers must head to the pits and adjust the engine, brakes, suspension system, gearbox and fuel tank to ensure their car is optimized for the weather and road conditions of each course.
IF Racing Head2Head also features the first ever Ghost Car Mode for a mobile game - a record of a player's lap that appears as a lighter image of the car on the screen. The Ghost Car Mode allows players to challenge others by sending their best performance to friends or the network leaderboard. Once downloaded, another person can try to out duel the "ghost" car, which, recreates the original driver's moves on the track.
"IF Racing Head2Head and the Ghost Car Mode feature bring a new and exciting functionality to mobile gaming. The interactivity is a natural progression and first step towards true multi-player fun on the cell phone, allowing the players to challenge each other," said Matthieu Saint-Denis, Game Portfolio Manager, IN-FUSIO. "Not only are we dedicated to providing great titles, at IN-FUSIO we are always challenging ourselves to push the mobile gaming envelope."
