Iridium Runners (Sony PlayStation 2, 2008)

Product Specs

Description

Iridium Runners takes place in the year 2050, four decades after an information destroying computer glitch and the simultaneous discovery of an unlimited power source combined to forge a new path for the world. The resulting information rebuilding created a more tolerant society and signaled the end of petty squabbles and political and religious strife, but this new utopia left the population desiring competition, so the Iridium Games were formed to slake the public thirst. Players step into the Iridium Games as one of 20 different racers, sprinting around courses in spectacular footraces sponsored by mega corporations. There are 30 different courses, each studded with different weapons, power-ups, and boosts, to give runners the upper hand. Players can sprint against the computer opponents in single race, cup, and championship modes, or join friends for multiplayer competitions, co-op races, and deathmatches.
