February 26, 2001

Following the success of its Championship Motocross franchise on the PlayStation, THQ announced that it will release CMX 2002 featuring Ricky Carmichael for the GameBoy Advance this summer.

Currently in development by Tiertex, CMX 2002 featuring Ricky Carmichael will offer 30 professional riders and freestylers, 20 licensed events, five fully customizable bikes, and an extensive library of tricks and combos.

"THQ is thrilled with the success of the CMX franchise," said Michael Rubinelli, vice president of product development, THQ. "We are committed to dominating the motocross genre and plan to deliver the most realistic motocross game on the Game Boy Advance with more real tracks, riders, equipment and sponsors than any handheld system has ever seen."

THQ has existing deals to feature licensed events and tracks including THQ's own title-sponsored event -- the THQ US Open. The Outdoor National Championships, Loretta Lynn's Amateur Nationals, and the Free Ride Moto-X Championships will also be key events in the game.
