"We enjoyed tremendous success with the first Big Mutha Truckers, and we expect players will enjoy the unique humor and gameplay in the sequel," said Peter Dille, senior vice president worldwide marketing, THQ. "The arcade style gameplay will provide a fun-filled experience of driving action and strategic wheeling and dealing for fans of the franchise, both old and new."

Developed by Eutechnyx, Big Mutha Truckers 2 begins with Ma Jackson being taken into police custody for more than 7,000 unpaid parking tickets. Ma instructs her four kids to locate six jurors and raise the cash needed to bribe them. Players will be challenged to raise the cash needed to bribe jurors to let Ma off by trucking, trading, wheeling and dealing.

The arcade style gameplay of Big Mutha Truckers 2 provides players with an improved and sprawling game environment, with a plot driven main game and a variety of Special Missions. These special missions give players the ability to get out of the trucks and into a variety of different vehicles. With more than 20 game enhancements and a streamlined trading process, players can concentrate on handling their 18-wheeler and setting Ma free.
