Wipeout 2 will offer updated, outrageous course designs across all platforms with obstacles and effects taken straight from the show's summer and winter seasons.

Players must navigate around snow, ice, foam, and fan-favorite obstacles like the Sucker Punch Wall and Big Balls; which are making their triumphant returns alongside more than 50 others.  Extended gameplay on all systems encourages even more interaction and participation with family and friends.  Once again, all the wild and crazy action is narrated by the show's hosts John Anderson and John Henson.

"I'm excited that the video game series is evolving just like our show," said Matt Kunitz, Wipeout's Creator and Executive Producer. "Players will experience all the fun of the new winter and summer courses without being sore in the morning!"

Particular attention is being paid to making every platform experience unique with ramped up excitement that engages gamers like never before.  Freshly revised controls makes for intuitive and easy to use motion-based gameplay for Wii owners.  The PlayStation Move and Kinect for Xbox 360 titles will offer gamers the ability to taunt and toss paintballs and snowballs at family and friends while they run the course.  Handheld gaming will finally become a communal experience with pass and play 'Hot Seat' participation for up to 4 players with Nintendo 3DS players also seeing their graphics taken to a whole new dimension.  No matter how players choose to enjoy, the crazy and hilarious fun is taken to wild new heights with  Wipeout 2!

"Working with ABC on the  Wipeout titles has been a tremendous success," said Nicole Armstrong, Activision Publishing. "Their integration of the game series into the show has been outstanding and their contributions to the game make it truly appealing for fans. We look forward to bringing more great  Wipeout  experiences to families."
