The official release date for the long awaited WiiTM version of Off Road as 15th August 2008.
Bringing the multi-million selling license to Wii for the very first time, Off Road offers racing fans an exciting rough-tough driving experience set against stunning environments and wide sweeping, extreme terrain.
Sean Walsh, Empire Interactive Product Manager said “Off Road is a perfect fit for Wii. I think it will be refreshing to play a game where the Wii RemoteTM is genuinely integral to game play. Adding the Wii WheelTM will further enhance the excitement, allowing racers to simulate a real off road racing experience and really get to grips with the powerful Land Rover and Ford vehicles.”
Clive Kabatznik, CEO of Silverstar Holdings, added, “The release of Off Road for the Wii illustrates our commitment to developing appealing software for the leading console formats. We’re confident of building on the success of previous formats and are thrilled to be bringing Off Road to the Wii audience.”
Off Road has been re-developed for Wii with extensively revised vehicle handling and enhanced graphics for both cars and tracks. With re-tuned game balancing and features to test players driving prowess at high speed, the racing has never been this exhilarating!
