Portal Runner release confirmed

The 3DO Company has announced that its PlayStation 2 game Portal Runner will be released in the spring. Portal Runner stars Vikki G., from the Sarge's Heroes games, and it was built using a brand-new engine designed specifically for the game.

"Portal Runner is an innovative title that incorporates many unique attributes that have not been previously implemented by other games,'' said Trip Hawkins, chairman and CEO of The 3DO Company. "We are definitely taking full advantage of the PS2 technology in order to create a seamless adventure. Players will be drawn into game environments unlike anything they have experienced before in a console title.''

The story-driven action game includes four modes of play and 19 levels.
