Activision har nettopp offentliggjort at de utgir et spill basert på MotoCross kjøreren Travis Pastrana, i deres O2 serie med ekstremsport spill.
Som sagt dreier det seg denne gangen om MotoCross, en genre som ellers er godt representeret på PS2 for øyeblikket, men Activision regner med å kunne bidra med noen nye og spennende ting til genren. Utover Travis Pastrana vil Carey Hart, Tommy Clowers, Mike Brown og Ernesto Fonseca, også være å finne blant de spillbare figurene.
Det er ikke annonsert noen release dato enda, men GameReactor vender naturligvis tilbake med en og screenshots, når de ankommer.
Her er et utdrag fra pressemeldingen:
"Travis Pastrana is undoubtedly one of the hottest motocross riders on the circuit today and we are extremely excited to have just signed with him," states Kathy Vrabeck, executive vice president, Activision Global Publishing and Brand Management. "The popularity of motocross events worldwide has continued to rise with attendance numbers reaching all-time highs. As television coverage and event sponsorship has increased, motocross has become one of the fastest growing sectors in motor sports. Activision’s partnership with Travis will allow us to deliver a comprehensive, authentic motocross experience that lets players compete in both freestyle riding and head-to-head racing action."
The youngest motocross champion to win a national title, Travis Pastrana became a sports phenomenon on the amateur circuit in 1992 at the age of 9 and continued his winning streak with five national amateur championships. In 1998, with the introduction of competitive freestyle riding, he was the first World Freestyle Champion. Since then, Pastrana has dominated the sport of freestyle motocross having never lost a competition in which he has entered. In 2001, he won gold medals at both the Summer X-Games and Gravity Games."
