Cel Damage X-Box GOES GOLD

October 26, 2001

EA GAMES is very excited to announce that Cel Damage for the X-Box has GONE GOLD!!!!! Cel Damage is scheduled to ship to stores on Tuesday October 30th! Mark your calendars and place your pre-orders today.

Cel Damage is part demolition derby, part whacked-out cartoon episode come to life. The game pits a cast of crazy 'toons against each other in maxed-out, weapon-laden vehicles to out-maneuver, out-race, and out-smack each other for personal glory. Whether it is a tommy-gun totin' gangster duck, a diminutive demon with a woodchipper, or a hatchet-wielding geek in a hovercraft, these gas-powered gladiators battle it out across 12 highly interactive environments with a host of wild weapons, such as giant boxing gloves and baseball bats, at their disposal. A stylish cel-shaded look and revolutionary "stretch and squish" physics engine make it seem as if all the wild action is taking place in an actual cartoon episode. It is time to get aggressive behind the wheel because now 'toons rule the road!

· Cruise and bruise in the souped-up rides of the toughest 'toons around.

· Wield a massive chainsaw, giant axe or one of 34 other wild and wacky weapons.

· Smack your opponents silly in deathmatch, capture-the-flag or racing modes.

· Battle it out across 12 interactive cartoon environments.

· Smash your friends in four-player split-screen action.

Cel Damage will also be available for the Nintendo Gamecube end of 2001.
