More Than 2,000 BMX Tricks, Hilarious Characters, Outrageous In-Game Events
and Beautiful Women of ’Scores’ Mark Exciting New Era in Interactive Entertainment
- The wait is finally over for the hottest, most talked about video game of the year, as AKA Acclaim, a division of Acclaim Entertainment, Inc. today announced that it has shipped BMX XXX for the Xbox video game system from Microsoft. Currently available in more than 15,000 stores nationwide, BMX XXX is a satirical romp in the style of such popular films as "American Pie" and was designed specifically for today’s predominantly mature gaming audience.
"BMX XXX marks a groundbreaking moment in interactive entertainment that illustrates how video games have gotten older and capable of delivering pure entertainment on par with feature films and television," said Ben Fischbach, Senior Brand Manager for AKA Acclaim. "We are thrilled to launch this title, which we believe will be a ’must-have’ for Xbox owners this holiday season."
From the pages of The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and USA Today, to the national broadcast audiences of "CNN" and "The Howard Stern Show," BMX XXX has quickly become the hottest video game of the year. BMX XXX combines outrageous Hollywood humor and characters, beautiful women from New York’s famous Scores club, incredible arcade action and a dynamic soundtrack from today’s top recording artists to deliver an unparalleled interactive entertainment experience. The version for the PlayStation2 computer entertainment system has been edited to eliminate the topless nudity, while versions for Xbox and Nintendo GameCube will contain topless nudity.
BMX XXX continues to garner high praise from the media, who had the following to say:
"BMX XXX delivers." - Game Informer
"BMX XXX never takes itself seriously for a moment. If movies like Animal House
is your idea of comic genius, then BMX XXX was made for you.
Boobies, brash humor and BMX bikes. This game has it all." - IGN.com
"Is BMX XXX all it’s cracked up to be? Absolutely. This title represents the very
beginning of a new direction for the console game industry. A new world of gaming
has been unlocked, and indeed our lives will be changed again." - Silicon Magazine
BMX XXX is currently available for Xbox at a suggested retail price of $49.99. The game will be available for the PlayStation2 computer entertainment system and Nintendo GameCube on November 18 and November 29, respectively, each at suggested retail prices of $49.99. In order to ensure that consumers have their copy the day the game ships, the Company encourages consumers to pre-order BMX XXX or visit any of the 15,000 authorized nationwide retail outlets carrying the product.
