007 RACING
August 7, 2000

Electronic Arts will publish "007 Racing" (working title) this fall for the Playstation. "007 Racing" stems from an exclusive multi-year worldwide licensing deal EA previously announced with MGM Interactive, Danjaq LLC, and Eon Productions.

"007 Racing" allows both Bond and racing aficionados to test their mettle behind the wheels of some of the super spy's most famous vehicles during missions inspired by memorable scenes from among the 19 James Bond films.

Each vehicle in the game will carry a full complement of gadgets and weaponry from the Bond series of movies as well as new weapons that will help the player overcome the specific challenges of new missions. The arsenal, supplied by MI6's "Q Branch", includes machine guns, surface-to-air missiles, spike and mine dispensers, rocket launchers, an oil slick generator, tire shredders, and bulletproof windows. The vehicles will also feature four-point physics and a progressive damage model that affects the look of the car and performance.
