SCORE International Baja 1000 Announced

Activision's Unrelenting Desert Racing Game SCORE International Baja 1000 to
Kick up Dust This Fall announces a new off-road racing game based on real
event due for release on PC and consoles this fall: SANTA MONICA,
Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) today announced that it
will be releasing the official SCORE International® Baja 1000™ video game
version of the world’s most grueling off-road race. SCORE International® Baja
1000™ recreates the unforgiving conditions and blistering speeds that make this
event the most recognized and entertaining off-road racing event in the world.
Developed by Left Field Productions, the game will be available this fall for
the PlayStation®2 and PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment systems, Xbox 360®
video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, Wii™ and Windows-based PC.


“No race demands more endurance of both man and machine than the Baja 1000,”
said Sal Fish, President and CEO of Score International, the world’s leading
desert racing organization. “In consulting Activision for a video game version,
we meticulously explained what’s needed to capture the intensity of the Baja.
They’ve nailed not only the look but also the elements of true desert racing.”


Sporting over 90 vehicles across multiple classes in the real Baja 1000 –
including trophy trucks, class I, motorcycles, ATVs and more – the game
challenges players to not only be first across the finish line, but also keep
their machine intact! Hyper-realistic dirt and damage modeling in the game means
players need to be crazy enough to take chances, but not so reckless that their
vehicle is destroyed before the race is over.

“In creating SCORE International® Baja 1000™, our goal was to create something
true to the sport that made you feel the speed and heart-pounding conditions,”
said Dave Oxford, Activision Publishing. “Players will see potential shortcuts
on the tracks, but wonder if their vehicle can handle it. That’s a conundrum
every driver on the Baja 1000 faces.”
