BRISTOL, U.K. August 18, 2008 – It’s time to rev the engine, kick the clutch and gun it to the finish line as Majesco Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: COOL), an innovative provider of video games for the mass market, today announced Powerbike for Nintendo DS™. Developed by Tornado Studios, Powerbike is an intense motorcycle racer that features death-defying stunts, intense police chases and competitive multiplayer modes.

The perilous world of street racing is about to get a whole lot more exciting with the release of Powerbike! When an anonymous sponsor offers the resources to compete with the best street racers in the world, the only thing left to do is jump on your bike and show everyone who is boss. Speed through dangerous streets and jump trains, bridges and traffic congestion while fleeing from the cops on eight challenging courses across the desert, city, shipyard and more. Riders can earn even more cash by performing jumps, burnouts, wheelies and drifts in Stunt Mode. Go head-to-head with friends via local DS multiplayer in both Race and Stunt Mode, and use your hard earned cash to upgrade your bike’s speed, acceleration, traction and stability in three different difficulty modes.
