In connection with the upcoming Speed Racer movie directed by the Wachowski brothers, Warner Bros. Interactive has also announced that it will launch a Speed Racer game in 2008 that will be published in several gaming platforms including PlayStation 2, Nintendo Wii, and Nintendo DS. The game will be released during the premiere of the Speed Racer movie.
Warner Bros. said the game will allow players to play the role of the characters in the film and drive their signature car models. As expected, the game will feature some racing events that and the players' goal is to win every race, obviously. Well, I just wish I could drive a Saab sports car model equipped with Saab motor mount in this game. LOL!
Warner Bros. described the game as "car-fu style of action". Samantha Ryan, Warner development and production senior VP commented: "Speed Racer is an exceptionally creative property and teamed with the Wachowski brothers’ vision it makes for action-packed racing gameplay. The game will capture the intensity of the racing in the film to give gamers and movie fans a chance to take the wheel after they experience the film.”
Joel Silver, producer of the Speed Racer film also commented: “We are very excited about this natural extension from the Speed Racer film to the videogame. Larry and Andy are videogame fans themselves, so they believe that an interactive game is a key component to the entire Speed Racer experience."
As for me, I just cant wait to get my hands on PS2, insert the Speed Racer game, and start racing. Whoosh!
