THQ Inc. today announced that Hot Wheels(TM) Stunt Track Challenge(TM) is now
available for the PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment system, the Xbox(R) videogame
system from Microsoft, Nintendo’s Game Boy(R) Advance and PC at retail outlets
across North America. The title features extreme game show-style stunt challenges
and sizzling fast racing action. The PlayStation 2 version also includes an online
component, allowing eight players to race head-to-head via a PlayStation 2 online
account.

“We’re excited about the ‘Fear Factor’-style gameplay of Hot Wheels Stunt
Track Challenge,” said Jack Sorenson, executive vice president, worldwide
studios, THQ. “This new reality show environment really enhances the traditional
Hot Wheels racing action. While still packed with competitive speed challenges,
Hot Wheels Stunt Track Challenge will also require players to complete unique
and shocking stunts to impress the audience and stay on the show.”

In the Hot Wheels Stunt Track Challenge videogames, players are thrust into competition
on a hot new extreme game show — on which they must complete perilous stunts
and win intense races. The goal is to beat opponents and impress the audience
with fearless maneuvers, in order to advance into other ‘episodes’ and win better
cars. At the end of the season, the driver with the most courage and best stunt
skills will cruise away in a gold-plated car as the Hot Wheels Champion. Players
will choose from 30 authentic Hot Wheels(R) cars to compete in 24 stunt challenges
on 12 different tracks, set in environments such as Buccaneer Bay, Jurassic Jam,
Zero Gravity Zone, Tiki Island, Spider Alley and Lava Land. Before each race,
players can enter the garage to customize their cars with unique colors, wheels
and decals. The PlayStation 2 version allows for eight-player racing action with
a PlayStation 2 online account.
