Midway Games Inc., a leading software industry publisher and developer, announced today that SpyHunter 2, the high-speed, mission-based, action/combat racing game, is scheduled to ship in fall 2003 for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, the Xbox and Nintendo GameCube.

SpyHunter 2 is a powerful progression in the mission to save the world from the sinister grip of the global criminal terrorist group, Nostra. SpyHunter 2 features an all-new, extremely powerful and customizable G-8155 Interceptor with new transformations such as an off-road 4-wheel drive vehicle, an off-road motorcycle and a snow ski. In addition, the gameplay includes upgradable offensive and defensive weaponry, as players fend off enemy vehicles throughout massive levels set across enormous regions. A new mysterious, sexy female agent has also been added to the mix to increase the intensity of SpyHunter 2's fast-paced action.

"SpyHunter 2 defines the next level of high-speed, mission-based action/combat racing," said Helene Sheeler, vice president of marketing, Midway.

Exclusive weaponry such as an auto- tracking turret and an indestructible armored shield are combined with landmines and oil slicks for an impressive defense that will immerse gamers in 16 action-packed levels set across four gigantic regions. Each region is interactive and dynamic, allowing players to choose their own paths and fight against four giant end-of-mission boss battles, which include eight all-new Nostra/Phoenix enemies.
