EA GAMES CREATES JAMES BOND 007 IN...AGENT UNDER FIRE FOR THE PLAYSTATION 2

New Title To Deliver A Unique Bond Experience That Completely Thrusts Players Into the World of Top Secret Agent 007

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., April 30, 2001 - Giving Bond fans a fresh new reason to cheer, EA GAMES(tm) is in development with the latest interactive entertainment title based on MGM and Danjaq's blockbuster international superspy, James Bond. James Bond 007 in...Agent Under Fire(tm) for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system will deliver a unique and complete action, stealth and driving experience that thrusts the player into the deceptive and exciting world of secret agent 007. The game will feature an all new and original single player storyline - written exclusively for the platform -- while staying true to the Bond legacy by delivering all the furious action, stealth, whirlwind driving, state-of-the-art gadgets and sophisticated spy-craft that 007 fans crave.

As Bond, the player must defeat the evil criminal mastermind Malprave, head of a rising terrorist organization that is bent on ruling the world with their clone technology and army of clones. Helping players along the way in Agent Under Fire will be the gorgeous Zoe Nightshade and a cast of familiar characters. Each of the more than 10 exotic locations around the world will contain a generous offering of challenging, well-balanced missions and objectives.

Agent Under Fire gives players the option of blasting their way through each level using high tech weaponry, quietly relying on spy-craft tricks and state-of-the-art gadgets as well as nerve tingling stealth to accomplish mission objectives - or both. The driving levels will feature an array of 007-inspired exotic cars and automotive combat from the Bond movies. Only through the clever utilization of Q-lab weapons and gadgets along with Bond-style wit, will the player be able to thwart Malprave's plans...and get the girl.

Key features will include: 

· Engage in a completely immersive first person Bond experience built exclusively for the PlayStation 2 console. 

· All new, original single player storyline that builds on the Bond legacy with villains and allies, both new and familiar. 

· Three well-balanced gameplay style experiences for the single player: action, stealth and driving. 

· A full arsenal of Q-lab weapons, gadgets and autos for the player to utilize. 

· Fast, fluid action and spy-packed gameplay inspired by the 007 films. 

· Enormous, detailed 3-D environments that can only be experienced through the eyes of Bond. 

· Single and multiplayer modes support for up to four players.

Agent Under Fire will utilize next generation console technology to help bring life to the full environmental physics and detailed 3-D environments, such as a massive deep sea oil rig set atop a secret underwater base. The game will feature rich and highly detailed graphics, such as strikingly beautiful women, and the thrilling Bond moments that distinguish the 007 films from all others.

Agent Under Fire for the PlayStation 2 is being developed by EA in Redwood City, CA and will be published and distributed worldwide in late 2001.
