RADICAL ENTERTAINMENT MAKES THE SLOPES COME ALIVE WITH NEW MTV SPORTS PURE RIDE RELEASE VANCOUVER, BC, October 3, 2000 - Radical Entertainment, one of North America 's leading developers of digital entertainment, announces that its snowboarding winter adventure game, MTV Sports: Pure Ride, has arrived on store shelves in North America. Pure Ride, published by Delaware-based computer/video game publisher THQ, runs on the PlayStation. "This is the best snowboarding game we 've ever created," says Ian Wilkinson, President and CEO, Radical Entertainment. "This game was created by a team that is passionate about the sport-they are all boarders themselves." Pure Ride features stunning graphics, improved motion blending and a realistic portrayal of boarder culture, giving participants the opportunity to explore the mountain in various terrain modes. High-resolution portrayals of facial expressions, rider movements and winter landscapes produce detailed, dynamic ride experiences, including the ability to complete tricks, combos and off-trail adventures. "Pure Ride is more than a racing game," says Kirsten Forbes, Producer. "We have the coolest characters, and you 're not just going down a set run-you can explore the whole mountain. You can really do your own thing in this game. If you snowboard in real life, Pure Ride is like going down a real hill, with the benefit of going anywhere on the hill, and having huge speakers hidden in every tree, blaring your favorite tunes."
