BOUNCE

Crazy Kart 2: Race Battle Online (CK2RBO), the evolution of the highly popular Crazy Kart franchise, is finally going commercial with increased difficulty levels, pumped up features and the introduction of a Cyber Racing League where top players can go head to head for gamer pride and a slew of exciting prizes.

The CK2RBO Cyber Racing League, being staged in cooperation with SM CyberZone, will provide players from all over the Philippines the chance to test their online karting skills. Players from Baguio down to Davao will compete using a variety of advanced maps and any one of the fastest karts in the game.

The tournament is scheduled for eight legs in eight SM CyberZone branches all over the Philippines from February to September 2010. The top four winners of each leg will automatically represent the SM CyberZone branch where they competed and get the chance to vie for a slot in the biggest online gaming event, LevelUp! Live 2010 where they stand to win cash prizes and the honor of being named the first ever CK2RBO Cyber Racing League Champion.

According to Jeff Paulino, brand manager for Crazy Kart and CK2RBO, the CK2RBO Cyber Racing League will provide elite Crazy Kart players – the varsity – to test their skills in an intense and competitive setting. “The launching of the Cyber Racing League on the same day that CK2RBO goes commercial is a milestone not just for the game but also for all online racing fans as they now have a venue by which to reach and compete at Level Up! Live – the dream of most online gamers in the Philippines.”

CK2RBO still features everything that the players loved about Crazy Kart 1 – ease of play, rich and massive 3D atmosphere, loads of karts and tracks of racing maps. The enhancements can be experienced with improved graphics, more serious and action-packed game play, increased levels of difficulty, and loads of game features. Players can navigate across over 5000 kilometers of various track types, using more than 200 kart-types in all new game modes. They can also expect hair-raising twists and turns in more challenging maps, boss/chase battle, race team formation system, quest system, and even a driver evolution system.

Level Up! has also signed one of the hottest female racing personalities in the country, Gaby dela Merced, herself an avid gamer, as CK2RBO’s brand ambassador. “Being part of CK2RBO is a personal way of encouraging Filipino gamers to live their dreams,” she says. “I used to dream of becoming a race car driver tracing back to the time I would play the latest racing games, and I have for so many years done everything to work towards that goal, and so too can everyone if you put your heart and mind to it.”
