A few weeks ago, Koei had released a demo version of their racing action game Fatal Inertia. Now they have sent word that the game has gone gold and will release for the Xbox 360 in North America on September 11, 2007. Gamers must have already checked out single player and split-screen two-player modes, which were featured in the game.
Fatal Inertia features 8-player racing on Xbox Live or on System Link along with over 1.3 million race craft customization combinations as well as 15,000 performance combinations. The game includes 51 courses across 6 distinct racing environments and 50 Xbox Achievements.
Overview of Fatal Inertia:
- In the middle of the 22nd century, mankind’s thirst for thrill has initiated an evolutionary sporting event that draws from the collective disciplines of rally racing, demolition derby and high-performance aeronautics. In this valiant new world of combat racing, gravity-defying machines are no longer confined to the speedways and stadiums of centuries past. In this grand spectacle of racing, the amphitheatre where drivers must prove their superiority is the untamed wilderness.
- Through harsh environments spanning dense rainforests to immense glacier fields and canyons of razor-sharp rock there is little room for error as drivers will reach speeds of over 500 mph. But Fatal Inertia is not only a test of speed. The brave men and women who opt to fight must face the mental and physical punishment of low-altitude combat maneuvering.
- In Fatal Inertia each craft will be armed with an exceptional array of unconventional weapons that maneuver velocity, force and even time. Explosive magnets that impact race craft stability and rockets that can counter thrust and velocity are just some of the dangers drivers must face. But with each race craft hovering just a few feet from the earth, any mistaken attempts to evade or dislodge these weapons can result in total (if not fatal) disaster.
Fatal Inertia has been developed by Koei’s Toronto-based development studio, KOEI CANADA. This is the first title from the Toronto studio. The game seems to be great and it would be fun to play something like that. Gamers who enjoyed PGR 3 on the Xbox 360 will surely like Fatal Inertia.
