PREVIEWS
- Crash Tag Team Racing (GC) -
CUBE.IGN previews Crash Tag Team Racing, the sequel to Crash Bandicoot's
action racing game, featuring a new Tag Team gameplay system. This hybrid
title comprising about 60% racing, 40% platforming. It's open, so you can
choose which missions you want, and which missions you don't, so if you prefer
racing over platforming, you'll have a more racing-based experience.
- Indigo Prophecy / Fahrenheit (PC/PS2/XBox) -
Pro-G has posted preview of
Indigo Prophecy (known as
Fahrenheit in
Europe), a new paranormal thriller which is set in near future New York City.
And it seems we can expect fairly interesting story! "In another twist to the
traditional story based format, after you leave the scene of the crime as the
murderer, you then assume the role of the cop assigned to catch you. Detective
Carla Valenti is a J-Lo look-a-like cynical cop who's tired of the beat. Your
ability to cover your tracks in the previous scene affects your success in
this one... "
- MotoGP 3 (Xbox) - Gamespot has posted
preview of MotoGP 3 in which they have finally explored MotoGP 3's
"extreme" mode - "the Extreme mode races come in three varieties,
depending on the size bike you wish to run: 600, 1000, and 1200cc. Before you
even hit the track, you'll need to purchase a bike using the relatively meager
amount of cash you start out with."
- NASCAR 06: Total Team Control (PS2) -
GameSpy previews NASCAR 06 hurrying in before the game is available in
August saying: "Given the fact this is my first experience with an EA NASCAR
production, I can certainly say this is one of the more entertaining and
compelling racing simulations I've played in months"
