Today Codemasters announced that F1 Race Stars, the game that takes formula one racing over the top, will ship to stores in North America today and race into retail in the UK on Friday 16th November for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and from Steam for Windows PC.
In keeping with the game's theme, new videos released today give a couple of the game's power ups their very own over the top TV-style ads, parodying 'home shopping' advertisements.
If corners drive you around the bend and you are tempted by the thought of a bit of turbo, tune into the KERS ad to learn all about KERS Boost "the corner boost you can trust". Or why not check out the ad for Bottle Rocket - the power-up that will transform your racing vehicle of choice into a fully fizzing bottle packed with enough fizz power to propel you along the track at top speed! Brought to you by the makers of Track Teleport and Shockwave Blast, Bottle Rocket is the ideal solution if you need to get to the front of today’s pack today. Please do remember to rocket responsibly.
F1 RACE STARS, from Codemasters Racing, features the full cast of FORMULA ONE stars as you've never seen them before in a chaotic sprint for the chequered flag on circuits littered with power-ups and featuring jumps, loop-the-loops and barrel-rolls! Designed to share the fun with 4-player split-screen racing, which can be combined with up to 12 player-online play, racing fans of all ages will experience a new world of FORMULA ONE fun as they dodge a Truckosaurus, speed past Robo-Sumos and leap into a shark’s mouth on speedy circuits inspired by 11 iconic tracks including Monaco, Silverstone and the new Circuit of Americas in Austin, Texas.
