CODEMASTERS' HEATSEEKER SET TO BLOW GAMERS AWAY    

Heatseeker's Impact Cam™ Delivers the Thrill of Watching Expensive Military  Machinery Blown to Bits ­ All in Slow Motion    

Burbank, CA ­ Thursday, November 9, 2006 ­ There's no question that  explosions are good. However, watching state-of-the-art military machines  explode into blazing fireballs of fuel and molten metal in cinematic slow  motion is even better.  Yes it's been done on the ground, but now it's time  to take it into the stratosphere with Codemasters' upcoming, arcade-style  jet combat game Heatseeker, planned to take off for the Wii™, PlayStation®2  computer entertainment system and the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system in  spring 2007.    

Heatseeker's unique Impact Cam™ enables players to get up-close-and-personal  with their kills in bullet-time.  Lock-on to a target and fire; hit the  target correctly and the Impact Cam will reward gamers with the spoils of  war ­ watching the destruction with cinematic, flyby camera shots of the  enemy militant disintegrating into flaming pieces of junk.    

Heatseeker's camera action puts players right in the combat zone with all  the intense face melting speed that comes from extreme close-quarters flight  combat.  Jump in the cockpit, get the enemy in your sight, fire your weapons  and experience what it feels like to be an angry missile screaming towards  its ill-fated target at over a 1000mph.    

"We want to give gamers the same explosive experience and special camera  effects that make people want to go watch movies," said Andrew Wensley,  Heatseeker's Senior Producer, Codemasters, Inc.  "The Impact Cam delivers  the thrilling sensations that are usually reserved for big budget movies,  and I think Hollywood would be proud of Heatseeker."    

Throughout the game players will face a seemingly insurmountable number of  enemy air, land and sea defenses, all with a weak spot for an explosive  payload. Heatseeker's target-rich terrains will deform, blacken and  ultimately fall apart as missile after missile detonates with laser guided  accuracy.  Just make sure not to take out any friendlies!    

Heatseeker is planned to launch for the Wii, PlayStation 2 system and PSP  system in spring 2007, and is currently rated "RP" (Rating Pending) by the  ESRB.  Be sure to take a look at the full arsenal online by visiting the  official website at www.codemasters.com/heatseeker.

Because having the game show enemies exploding in slow motion is JUST what we needed...

Impact Cam™... don't want people stealing it after all, but I love how they simply sum it up by calling it "bullet time" after that.
