X2
Games, the wholly owned publishing subsidiary of award-winning UK developer
Exient Ltd, has today announced its latest title for the iPhone and iPod Touch,
X2 Snowboarding.
Drawing on its
extensive experience in genre defining high quality sports and racing titles,
and carrying on the company’s commitment to home-console quality gaming on
portable platforms, X2 Snowboarding is set to shine in its own right on the App
Store, with the aim of reigning as the definitive snowboarding title for the
iPhone platform.
X2 Snowboarding combines
high-quality graphics with a finely-balanced control method, allowing riders to
compete in exhilarating extreme sports action across various international
pistes. The title’s home-console credentials are defined via motion-captured
riders and immaculately detailed courses, ensuring almost true-to-life movement
and interaction while racing down slopes and pulling tricks on each
environment’s arrangement of rails, ramps and jumps.
Producer Simon Berry
comments: “With over a decade of experience with handheld games, and the 1.6
million downloads of X2 Football 2009 to back us up, we’re confident about
bringing the definitive console-quality snowboarding title to the iPhone with
X2 Snowboarding. This means no expense will be spared in developing X2
Snowboarding’s feature set, right down to extensive multiplayer options and
licensed properties throughout. Gamers and
snowboarding fans will not be disappointed with X2 Snowboarding”
X2 Snowboarding is a
fast-paced extreme sports simulation, combining console quality graphics &
physics with arcade style game play. Players compete in a series of freestyle,
race & trick-race events across an international stage.
X2 Snowboarding boasts the
unique, rewind & replay feature. This revolutionary time-warping feature
allows gamers to relive sections of the course in real-time. Meaning players
can replay, in real-time, areas of the course or tricks they have failed to
complete throughout their game. X2 Snowboarding will
also provide multiplayer functionality, allowing players to share the
snowboarding action with friends via a local WiFi or over a Bluetooth
connection.
In-game licenses are due to
be announced soon and will add extra realism in the form of real-world
snowboards and snowboarder fashions. X2 Snowboarding will also feature an
integrated music player with licensed music.
