Power Challenge Announces Power Racing
Free 3D MMO Title Promises Style, Speed and Thrills Directly from Web Browser
New York City and Stockholm, Sweden – (February 19, 2008) Power Challenge, the leading provider of sports-based multiplayer games played over the Internet, today unveiled plans for its next game, Power Racing, which is due out in beta this summer. Power Racing will be the only free online racing game to offer near-console, 3D high-quality gaming in a web browser. As with Power Challenge’s entire line-up of sports action games, including Power Soccer, ManagerZone Hockey and ManagerZone Football, the only equipment required to play is a PC, web browser, and keyboard.
Power Racing will treat multiplayers to the excitement and perils of real automotive physics and tracks of varying difficulty levels. The game combines European style, American muscle and Asian-street flair with astounding graphics, personalization and controls, and robust community features.
“The advanced 3D graphics in development for this new World Tour Car Championship-style game are unmatched in web-based gaming,” said Johan Christenson, chief executive officer of Power Challenge. “Power Racing offers an instantaneous, realistic, and thrilling driving experience on par with today’s console-based games, but without the need for time-consuming downloads and expensive gear. We believe Power Racing will quickly become the premier online gaming destination for racing and gaming enthusiasts alike.”
Racers can customize car designs and engine types inside their virtual garages, send instant challenges to buddies and other Power Racing members, and enter worldwide racing championships. Other social features include buddy lists, chats, forums, and guest books. Players can also share driving tactics and conduct polls. Additionally, they can share racing stats and video clips of exciting Power Racing moments on YouTube, MySpace, and Facebook.
Power Racing will be compatible with USB standard game pads and racing wheels to enhance the user experience.
