Racers` Islands: Crazy Racers - more details, art
Zallag reveals more details about the upcoming racing game developed specifically for the WiiWare : Racers` Islands : Crazy Racers. Previously known under the codename `Shoot the drivers : Project 1`, this game is developed by Artefacts Studio who had previously developed Moto Racer DS.
Six different and unique islands (each representing a country) serve as a background for the 20 tracks present in the game. Not only will the players need driving skills, they should also consider precision. Indeed, the original gameplay of Racers` Islands : Crazy Racers allows the player to target precisely other players and adversaries with the Wii RemoteTM while driving.
Specifically designed for the WiiTM system, this unusual gameplay offers a real learning curve while remaining accessible to everyone. Six colorful characters are playable, each with his/her own car and unique weapon. Many power-ups can be found along the tracks and a 4 player mode in split-screen is also present.
The universe of Racers` Islands : Crazy Racers will also be presented through a comic book. The idea is to explore and to expand the game`s background further.
Illustrated by Studio 109 and scripted by Hubert Chardot (scriptwriter of such games as Alone in the Dark 1, 2 and 3) this comic book will reveal the characters` past. Just like the game, it will be sold only through digital distribution.
The next announcement will present the 6 characters of the game (American, Japanese, Russian, French etc ). The final versions and the early drafts of the characters will be revealed!
