Activision har netop offentliggjort at de udgiver et spil baseret på MotoCross køreren Travis Pastrana, i deres O2 serie af extreme sports spil.
Som sagt drejer det sig denne gang om MotoCross, en genre som ellers er godt repræsenteret på PS2 i øjeblikket, men Activision regner med at kunne bidrage med nogle nye og spændende ting til genren. Udover Travis Pastrana vil Carey Hart, Tommy Clowers, Mike Brown og Ernesto Fonseca, også være at finde blandt de spilbare figurer.
Der er ikke annonceret nogen release dato endnu, men GameReactor vender naturligvis tilbage med en sådan og screenshots, når de ankommer.
Her er et uddrag fra pressemeddelelsen:
"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."
