Central to the appeal of International Athletics will be the immense variety of the ten gut-busting events and the innate need of man to compete and win against his fellow man. As a single player game Decathletes will be challenging and rewarding but once taken to the multiplayer level things will really get serious. Both formats feature a multiplayer mode with up to 4 players going head to head.
Career development is certainly not overlooked. Players will be rewarded for winning events in a compelling medal chase, unlocking famous stadiums and bonus events. Full character customisation will allow players to recreate their sporting heroes with mind blowing accuracy, selecting facial features, skin type and body stature.
International Athletics is scheduled for release on NDS and PSP in August 2008.
