- - - - FOSTER CITY, Calif., April 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Computer Entertainment America announced today the nationwide release of Speed Punks(TM), available exclusively for the PlayStation(R) game console. Featuring smooth, fast gameplay combined with upbeat, animated humor and colorful environments, Speed Punks offers the ultimate cart racing experience with attitude. Developed by Funcom, Speed Punks introduces six feisty characters, each with their own distinct personalities and custom-built carts. By utilizing various projectiles and power-ups and mastering the unique shortcuts on more than 24 thrilling tracks, these tarmac-tearing delinquents will do whatever it takes to win. "Speed Punks offers a clever mix of intense gameplay, good humor and irreverent fun, providing pure enjoyment for players of all ages," said Ami Blaire, director, product marketing, Sony Computer Entertainment America. "Not only is Speed Punks one of the best cart racing games available, but it is one of the best family-friendly titles available for PlayStation." Players can select their favorite character and compete in multi-player modes for up to four players, using a Multi Tap adaptor. With projectiles and power-ups including homing missiles, bombs, remote bombs, slime, shockwave, maximum speed boost, tire pop, machine guns, speed boost tokens and more, Speed Punks encourages players to cheat their way to the finish line. With their bratty attitudes and lead feet, these maniac Speed Punks racers will always take the low road to victory: -- Montgomery "Monty" Carlo -- What Monty doesn't know about racing isn't worth knowing. He's determined to be in pole position all the way, and he is the most dedicated of the group. -- Tabitha -- The youngest of the characters, she's a spoiled little madam who thinks the best way to get your own way is to throw a tantrum bigger and louder than ever before. -- Buster & Wedgie -- Buster looks like a complete thug, and he's been held back in school so many times that he's older than some of the teachers. He takes his role of "school bully" very seriously. A natural coward, Wedgie is Buster's sidekick and loves to help him pick on the other kids. -- Monica -- Monica has a strange effect on boys: as soon as she drives by, they lose control and become babbling idiots. -- Brains -- Brains is a scientific genius who loves computers and chemistry sets. He is currently working on a robot racer that he plans to use to help him test his driving skills. -- Tempest -- Tempest is a manic, over-excitable problem child -- a pyromaniac, kleptomaniac and natural rebel. He's the one that encourages all the others to ditch school to go racing. The independent Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) rates Speed Punks "E" for "Everyone."
