The Gizmondo has an extra button!

Gizmondo blasts into the handheld gaming experience with their new up and coming racer---Chicane. This fast paced and fuel pumping F1 style game is said to set the pace within the gaming market with the level of on-the-go experience. Headed by Jenson Button as the leading figure of the game, there is no doubt that with this hands on first experience from the talented F1 driver that Chicane will rise high above the rest and make that first place position.

The main attraction for this new game is that it will offer the gamer a very realistic feel to the sport and allow them to sit in the seat of the great driver. Coupled with the realistic features and high capabilities of the Gizmondo itself, Chicane will offer a very powerful and addictive gaming experience. The gamer can become the number one racer that they have always dreamed of. Button is very excited about the game and its development. With this game he hopes to allow any normal person to experience the thrill and rush of racing. Jenson says “Anyone who has ever wondered what it feels like to be behind the wheel of a racing car will love Chicane. It is as close as you will get to the real thing and matching with the Gizmondo’s gaming performance, it will certainly get the adrenaline pumping!”

This is the main aim and focus of the game. Although obviously the graphics and sound come into play to create a top performance but it is all entangled as one to go towards the goal that Chicane is after. From the high-speed races that you compete in, you can play as either or against Button but which ever you choose; the gaming experience will still be the same---amazing.

The game will still follow the suit of the much loved arcade style racing. Just like all of the great games in the past that you have been able to compete in and race against your mates, Chicane will contain all of those amazing and addictive qualities. With this great union between Jenson and Gizmondo, the title will surely have a lot to offer. Thomas Fessler, CEO, who is developing Chicane, says “Jenson’s new game, mixed with the unrivalled performance of the Gizmondo device, offers a pure 3D driving experience to the on-the-go gamer. This will completely revolutionise the way people view portable entertainment.” Thomas is using Jenson’s first hand experience of the F1 world to create the game and make sure that it contains the highest quality of realism and the buzz of the racing thrill.

There is no aspect of this game that has been forgotten when it comes to quality and attention. The soundtrack of the game is being put together by none other than Will. I. Am of the Black Eyed Peas along with the entire Will. I. Am group too. With their music being high in the charts and of such a high quality, it is certain that Chicane will be kitted up with pumping tunes to keep you entertained whilst racing.

As the game plays at high speeds and allows you to tare around the tracks, together with the graphics, it is said to be an outstanding game to compete against the high level and quality of those today. From the experience of Jenson, the tracks, all of which have been originally designed, will feature the same quality and aspects of the real life courses that he has raced on, all created to push the Gizmondo to its very limits.

Not only have the tracks been specially designed for the game but also all players, either new or skilled and experienced with racing games, can put together and create their own custom cars to race within the game. These you can make to your specific liking and adjust them to your way of play so that you can perform your best and get to that chequered flag and finish line before Jenson does. There are also three different modes of play for you to race in. This gives you a chance to improve all areas of your racing skill and also to try out the racing cars that you put together within the car customisation mode.

Because of these great qualities, Chicane is sure to be a great game and Gizmondo themselves have a lot of faith in it. Carl Freer, MD of Gizmondo Europe, states “The way that Jenson Button has fought off fierce competition so far this season has been amazing and we at Gizmondo would like to follow suit. Just as Jenson and Will. I. Am are at the top of their fields, Gizmondo soon hopes to join them.”

As the Gizmondo contains the advanced portable technology of wireless Bluetooth, Chicane is a 1-4 player game, enabled by this feature. With this you can connect up with up to three other people and race against one another to become the champion of all your mates.

Chicane offers everything that anyone could wish for in an F1 racer. With its great arcade way of play that is said to be of great quality with fast paced speeds, original tracks and amazing graphics, there is no way that this game could fail. Cradled and seen to by the hands on experience of none other than Jenson Button---a Grand Prix racer himself---Chicane will surely come first place! TR
