NEW YORK, Jan. 31, 2007 - Atari, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATARD), one of the world's most
recognized brands and third-party video game publisher, today announced the development

Godzilla: Unleashed is a fighting game on a giant scale. The game stars the
legendary Godzilla and a slew of the most renowned monsters of all-time. Gamers
are challenged to ultimately save the planet from mayhem and destruction. Set
in urban arenas, Godzilla: Unleashed's interactive 3D cityscapes, big destructible
buildings, soaring skyscrapers and towering alien formations provide the backdrop
to epic worldwide destruction.
"We are building on the famous Godzilla franchise by focusing on multiple story
paths, devastating urban destruction, and utilizing the most imposing creatures
in film history, all in one hard-hitting fighting game," said Rick Mehler, Director,
Marketing, Atari, Inc. "In Godzilla: Unleashed for the Wii, players will tap
into their inner monster powers when using the system's wireless, motion-sensing
controller."
Players will claw, kick, stomp, throw and blast their way through the streets
of major world cities in order to claim the ultimate, beastly title: King of
the Monsters. In addition to a fully reinvented combat system, Godzilla: Unleashed
will feature an innovative non-linear storyline which will allow players to influence
how the story unfolds through their choices within battles.
