"Sudeki" and Xbox Present the "Get in the Game!" Sweepstakes

First-Prize Winner to Appear in Upcoming Xbox RPG

Microsoft Game Studios today announced the "Get in the Game!" sweepstakes on Xbox.com, which will give one lucky winner a chance to appear in the upcoming Xbox exclusive action-RPG, "Sudeki." One randomly selected participant will be whisked away to Climax Studios in Portsmouth, United Kingdom and transformed into a non-player character living in the world of "Sudeki" that will be named after and sound like the winner, using voice samples recorded during the visit. The game character will also be morphed to resemble the winner's face and body type.

Additionally, two second-prize winners will be randomly selected to win a set of four limited edition "Sudeki" posters featuring the four leading heroes from the game: Ailish, Tal, Buki and Elco. Entries will be taken until 11:59 p.m. (PST), February 19, 2003. For official rules and an opportunity to enter the "Get in the Game!" sweepstakes, go to www.xbox.com/sudeki/sudeki-sweepstakes.
