EA BIG announce next title - Freekstyle News

EA BIG, the subsidiary of EA Sports who created the excellent SSX and NBA Street titles, recently announced their next PS2 project; Freekstyle, the most dangerous motocross game around. Freekstyle dares you to harness the power of your bike while pulling off sick stunts in insane, over the top worlds. <br /> <br /> It is not just about coming in first. It's not about being the fastest. With EA SPORTS BIG Freekstyle, it is all about being fearless. Take a good look at the freaks you are competing against. Go head-to-head and see if you have what it takes to ride with the best. <br /> <br /> As with previous titles in the EA BIG line, the game is all about being over-the-top, picture flying through rugged terrain with massive jumps at more than 70 mph, hitting a 40' jump at the ledge of a 200' cliff and pulling off a Superman Seat grab, a Saran-wrap and 360 all before you land. <br /> <br /> Choose from any of eight different riders with their own unique attitude and style including freestyle sensations Mike Metzger, leader of the Metal Mulissha, Brian Deegan, Stefy Bau, Clifford "The Flyin' Hawaiian" Adpptante, Jessica Patterson and Greg 'Albee' Albertyn. Each character has their own unique personality, bikes and outfits. <br /> <br /> Nine different venues will challenge riders to take on some of the most outrageous freestyle terrain on tracks such as Rocket Garden, Crash Pad II, Monumental Motoplex and the ultimate big air course, Big Sky. Hidden paths and shortcuts challenge gamers and add to excitement while special Freekstyle worlds will allow gamers to take the bikes anywhere they have the guts to go. <br /> <br /> The game is set to feature over 80 tricks to pull off or combine for bonus points and boost including the likes of the McMetz, Saran wrap, superman seat grab, the roll, the helicopter and the 360 to name a few. An all-new scoring system will challenge even the most fearless dirt demon to hold that Lazy Boy for just one more second. <br /> <br /> The richly detailed environments are inspired by the sport and embrace the lifestyle of extreme motocross riding. Gone are the barriers and constraints of licensed tracks and venues. Behold the EA Sports BIG worlds of Freekstyle. <br /> <br /> The game will feature Circuit, Race, Freestyle and Freeride modes. Race mode includes split screen head-2-head action.
