Test Drive Unlimited for the Brazilian National Football Team
Samba Kickers are road-testing Atari's upcoming Racing Blockbuster
FRANKFURT AM MAIN, GERMANY - 30 June 2006 -
In order to keep the members of the Brazilian National
Football Team entertained between matches, Atari and the
Kempinski Hotel Falkenstein have provided a games lounge for
the players. The Brazilian Football Stars are first in line
to have the opportunity of road-testing a pre-release version
of the Massively Open Online Racing Game (MOOR) Test Drive
Unlimited. Microsoft has provided Atari with five Xbox 360
debug kits for this purpose.
The action in Test Drive Unlimited takes place on the streets
of the Hawaiian island of Oahu. Players participate in online
races and create communities by establishing or joining
exclusive member clubs as a platform for communication. They
can trade cars and race against the best international
competitors in a special online mode.
The extensive number of vehicles was designed with great
respect even on the smallest details to ensure that they
resemble their real-life counterparts in terms of external as
well as internal appearance. The large choice offers players
to equip their garages according to their personal
preferences with the most sought after and fastest cars on
the planet, which were licensed by 25 top
manufacturers.
