Xtreme Sports Ship Date Set

Infogrames has announced that Xtreme Sports for the Sega Dreamcast will ship to retailers this week. The game lets the player compete in alternative sports such as snowboarding, ATV racing, mountain biking, hang gliding, and bungee jumping in triathalon or single-event settings. The game includes 12 regular tracks and six practice courses, and it lets players race for the best time, perform tricks, and attempt huge jumps.

"It's a good thing that providing a true adrenaline rush is legal," said Laddie Ervin, director of marketing for the sports and racing label at Infogrames. "The feel of the powdery snow under your sliding snowboard, the rumble of lava beneath your ATV's tires, and the crackle of gravel and rocks spitting up at you as your mountain bike careens down a mountainside - that is Xtreme Sports."

Xtreme Sports was developed by Innerloop Studios.
