The 3DO Company today announced that Street Racing Syndicate is currently in development for the PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment system, the Xbox(TM) video game system from Microsoft, and the Nintendo GameCube(TM) system. Scheduled for release in 2003, "SRS" captures the heart of street racing culture, and includes extensive car customization, police intervention, and high stakes competition. The game is being developed by racing game specialist Eutechnyx Ltd., which has developed such popular titles as F1 World Grand Prix 2000, 007 Racing and Le Mans 24 Hours.

"With SRS, we have captured the essence of underground racing -- high stakes, high speed, and customization of realistically detailed cars," said Trip Hawkins, chief executive officer, The 3DO Company. "Every race has a lot at stake, including pink slips, cash, and, of course, the ladies' respect."

About Street Racing Syndicate
In SRS players begin by creating their own street racing characters, then set off to make names for themselves in the first of three cities.

The after-market upgrades are licensed and customizable, and vehicles take realistic damage hits. In development for all next generation console systems, SRS is scheduled for release in 2003.

Features for SRS include:
