Le Tour de France Races to Home Consoles
Focus Home Interactive is pleased to announce that Le Tour de
France, one of the most prestigious and popular sports events in
the world, arrives for the first time on Playstation 3 and Xbox
360 this Summer.
Tour de France: The Official Game is developed by Cyanide (the
studio that brought you the famous PC series Pro Cycling
Manager) and will release on July 1st in Europe.
Patrick Pligersdorffer, CEO of Cyanide says, "It's been a long
time that we (at Cyanide) have been thinking of a cycling game
especially designed for home consoles. We could not adapt on
consoles what perfectly works on PC with Pro Cycling Manager, so
we worked on different prototypes before arriving at a
satisfying result last year. Tour de France is the first
important step in our quest for the ideal cycling simulation for
home consoles."
While the series on PC, Pro Cycling Manager, is more team
strategy oriented and concerns management over a full season,
Tour de France: The Official Game focuses on the biggest cycling
event: Le Tour de France, where you control a single rider in
each of the 21 official stages playable in the game.
Tour de France: The Official Game will enable you to fight
shoulder to shoulder with the greatest cycling champions during
intense stages full of twists and turns! Manage the efforts of
your riders over the grueling stages and ride honorably to gain
the respect of the pack. Your loyalty and your actions will
shape your reputation throughout the competition and will allow
you to renew or destroy strategies and alliances which often
prove decisive in this huge 21 stage race.
Nerves of steel, top physical shape and subtle tactics are
required to win the Tour de France and its most prestigious
jerseys, including the coveted and legendary yellow jersey!
