FOR

PlayStation®2, NINTENDO GAMECUBETM & Xbox

LOS ANGELES, CA

- April 22, 2004 - Crave Entertainment, a leading publisher of console

videogames, today announced that Future Tactics: The Uprising has reached gold

master status for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, the

Xbox® video game system from Microsoft and Nintendo

GameCubeTM.

Packed with action, Future Tactics is a turn-based tactical

RPG that looks and feels like an action/platform game. Built around a highly

complex turn-based battle engine, the adventure showcases a single-player Story

Mode, as well as a two-player Battle Mode. The plot is set in the not too

distant future, when Earth as we know it has succumbed to a race of

extra-dimensional creatures. Now the final hope for restoring order to the

planet rests on the shoulders of a young boy, his sister and a rag-tag assembly

of unlikely warriors.

Future Tactics: The Uprising features:

• 18 stylized and high-polygon characters interacting in rich, full 3D

  environments
  

• Unique, number-free turn-based tactical combat system designed

  to keep players immersed in the action, not the stats
  

• 19 action-packed,

  highly intense levels waiting to be conquered
  

• Massively deformable terrain.

  Landscape can be permanently destroyed, leaving behind craters and

  canyons.
  

• Compelling storyline told through fully animated and voiced cut

  scenes
  

• Two-player customizable battle mode lets gamers tweak handicaps,

  power-ups and victory conditions
  

• Experience point system allows custom

  building of team members, allocating upgrades as players see fit
  

• Boot Camp

  tutorial mode allows novice players to learn good tactics right

  away

Scheduled for release in Q2 2004, Future Tactics: The Uprising will

be available for the Xbox, Nintendo GameCubeTM and the PlayStation®2

computer entertainment system.
