Rally Master Pro

Zeebo version prepped and ready.

- for immediate publication –

Hamburg, Germany, 16 December 2009 – After the successful porting of Galaxy on Fire, comes Rally Master Pro, the second title from FISHLABS for the Zeebo 3G wireless entertainment system. Just in time for the holidays, the off-road racing game will appear in December and once again offers the South American fan community a treat from the Hamburg-based team's portfolio.

Rally Master Pro has been revved up both graphically and acoustically for the Zeebo. As a result, it is now the only racing game on the system that offers genuine engine sounds during acceleration and braking, as well as squealing tires. In addition, the 4-point driving physics have been adapted to the analogue stick controls and the speed of the vehicles in the game has been increased. Rally Master Pro on the Zeebo not only tears up the track even faster, the reduced road traction and more precise steering increase the difficulty, living up to the longer game sessions on a console as compared to the iPhone.

Tight, icy curves and wet asphalt demand all the driving skill players have, even on the television. Help comes from the co-pilot, whose instructions should be followed if you don't want to risk totaling your vehicle. With the unique, interactive replay, the last stage can be studied with numerous vehicle and TV cameras and individual sequences can be fast forwarded and rewound to perfect the player's driving skill The adrenaline mode also calls for error-free driving, because the rally car must reach the finish line as undamaged as possible. The 3D damage model provides information about the condition of the car at any time - the vehicle can be repaired for the next test between stages in a variety of minigames.

“As with Galaxy on Fire, we believe the investment we’ve made in adapting Rally Master Pro for the Zeebo will please gamers in Brazil and Mexico,” says Michael Schade, CEO of FISHLABS. “Of course, that really pays off in gaming fun, and since Rally Master Pro will be available this month, there is nothing in the way of enjoying a good rally through the holiday season.”

“Rally Master Pro is a terrific example of the type of high-quality titles coming to Zeebo,” said Mike Yuen, senior vice president of global content and services, Zeebo, Inc. “FISHLABS has produced yet another top notch game with attention to detail that consumers in Brazil and Mexico are sure to enjoy during the holidays and anytime they are looking for fun, fast entertainment.”
