Waves of orders make H2Overdrive the product of Preview
H2Overdrive, the powerboat-themed racing game from the Raw Thrills stable, has been declared the product of Preview by exclusive distributors Brent Sales/Namco Europe. The assessment, which is based on firm orders received, comes a month after Brent used the exhibition to unveil the fully finished version of the game, first seen in prototype form at ATEI 2009.
John Brennan, Commercial Director at Brent/Namco, believes that the appeal of the game lies in the attention to detail applied by Raw Thrills in delivering the game to a discerning audience. He explained: "Joining illustrious stablemates, including strong commercial games such as The Fast and the Furious, Super Bikes and Big Buck Hunter, H2Overdrive breaks new ground. Operationally the game has stand-out qualities, notably its ability to attract the first coin courtesy of what is regarded by many as the most visually stunning cabinet on the market, together with a captivating attract mode using LEDs and strobe lighting." Brennan continued: "Having won that key competition for the first coin, repeat play is inevitable as players warm to the unique racing theme, marvel at the advanced hi-res graphics, master the innovative power-up procedure and feel obliged to continue by accessing a repeat play key pad. Every innovation seen in H2Overdrive has been introduced to meet clear and defined commercial objectives, which is why the game is destined to be such a big success worldwide." H2Overdrive is available in twin and four-unit Super Deluxe formats and is linkable up to eight units. |
