 Crave Rolls "Razor™ Freestyle Scooter"
To Dreamcast™

Best-Selling Razor Scooter Game Jumps to Another Console

Los Angeles, CA - May 8, 2001 - Crave Entertainment today announced that "Razor™ Freestyle Scooter" is coming to the Sega Dreamcast™. Due out this summer, "Razor ™ Freestyle Scooter" follows the release of the successful Game Boy® Color and PlayStation® game console versions. This new Razor™ brand scooter incarnation brings all the tricks and competition of the insanely fun scooter craze to Dreamcast for the wallet-friendly price of $19.99.

"Razor has proven to be an extremely popular franchise for us and we are pleased to be bringing it to the Dreamcast," said Holly Newman, Executive Vice President of Crave Entertainment. "The Dreamcast is still a great platform for the right product, and with the extremely affordable price and solid gameplay featuring Razor brand scooters, this is a great fit."

"Razor ™ Freestyle Scooter" for Dreamcast will feature the best in extreme scooter sports, featuring tons of pipes, jumps and rails for players to shred, twist, and grind to save their friends from the grasp of an evil robot. Packed with a rockin' pop-punk soundtrack, players will have access to more than 40 moves and tricks in three full levels, along with six hidden ones, giving this game enough phat action to keep any Razor fan happy.

By collecting tokens throughout the massive, radical environments, players can unlock up to nine diverse riders. After customizing the color of their scooters, players thrash their way across high wires, up ramps and over benches and barrels. Tricks can be combined to perform infinite maneuvers, and catching more air extends the time bar and the gaming experience.
