4 October 2004: In2Games proudly announces that its revolutionary PS2 beat-em-up Gametrak: Dark Wind has gone gold, and will hit European retail on 22nd October.

Gametrak: Dark Wind, winner of 'Best of Show' award at the Leipzig Games Convention and being hotly-tipped for this Christmas by press and retail alike, bundles the remarkable Gametrak 3D motion control system with the exclusive beat-em-up, Dark Wind.

Gametrak: Dark Wind will ship with a retail price of £69.99, or 99 Euros. Major UK retailers for Gametrak include Argos, Index, Game, Gamestation, Comet, HMV and Virgin.

The launch follows four years of intense R&D, hardware and software development and represents the first time a major games hardware innovation has come from outside of the US and Japan.

In2Games will launch further Gametrak-exclusive titles next year including Gametrak: Real World Golf and Gametrak: Sports Party, as well as launching the Gametrak range into the US and Japan in 2005.

About Gametrak

Gametrak is a revolutionary new controller for PS2 which gives users precise and intuitive control in 3D space - unlike camera technologies, Gametrak allows movement forwards and backwards as well as up, down, left and right, and does all this without any time delay or processor overhead. Instead of a complex and intimidating series of buttons and joysticks; fighting games will enable users to physically punch opponents using boxing gloves; sports games will allow users to pick up and play using real golf clubs or tennis rackets; adventure games will become totally immersive as users are able to manipulate 'virtual' onscreen objects with their hands. Gametrak's unique design means that it can be offered to consumers at a genuinely mass-market price, bundled with specially developed games, the first of which will be Dark Wind, a first-person perspective fighting game. In 2005, In2Games will launch golf, dancing, mini-games and baseball products for Gametrak.
