World’s first iPhone downhill mountain biking game to be released by Apposing
Liverpool’s Apposing has teamed up with Steve Peat, the reigning world champion in his field, to release what they believe is the first downhill mountain biking game app designed for the iPhone, iPod Touch and the iPad.
Sheffield-based Peat, a well-known figure in the death-defying sport of downhill biking, is the first rider to be featured in the game, with further real-life professionals to be added after its launch.
This has been planned to coincide with the 2010 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup event at Fort William, Scotland on 5-6 June.
Apposing’s game has built in courses from across the globe, a 3D virtual bike shop (so users can buy the latest kit and customise their steeds) and a wide variety of music.
David Brown, the agency’s MD, commented: “Being the first App of its kind, ‘Steve Peat – Downhill Mountain Biking’ takes full advantage of Apple’s technology by providing players with unique interactivity capturing the fast and frantic game-play derived from this extreme sport.”
Peat himself added: “We are confident that this game will raise the bar within the extreme sports genre, while appealing to new and existing fans including the mountain biking community.”
