In the upcoming street racing game “Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights” from developers Juice Games in Manchester, the famous musician himself will be integrated as a racing driver and will present the player with special challenges.
Alongside around 90 other vehicles, Smudo’s 280 hp BioConcept Mustang is also available for virtual drifts. Smudo lives out one of his great passion in “Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights”: “As a big video-game fan and motor racer, I can hardly wait to compete virtually against my own car. The virtual Smudo, I’ll finish him off – grab his car and tune it up.”
Alongside his participation in the spectacular races and drift competitions in “Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights”, Smudo will bring his real car, sponsored by THQ, to the start at several races in this year’s endurance championship at the Nürburgring.
“We are very pleased that we were able to get Smudo excited about Juiced 2”, enthuses Paul Ashcroft, Marketing Director of THQ Entertainment GmbH. “Smudo possesses extremely high credibility both among video gamers and among all racing enthusiasts. The collaboration gives our upcoming racing-game hit even more attention than it already enjoys thanks to its fantastic graphics, the almost endless tuning options and the gripping racing feel.”
“Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights” will be released at the end of September 2007 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, Windows PC and Nintendo DS.
