SouthPeak announces The Dukes of Hazard

Date: May 13th

SouthPeak Interactive has unveiled a 3D mission-based driving game called The Dukes of Hazzard: Racing For Home. Developed by Engineering Animation, The Dukes of Hazzard: Racing For Home is being developed for the PC and PlayStation. Gamers play as Bo or Luke Duke and seize the wheel of the indestructible General Lee or 10 other cars to save the family farm, defend the family name and rescue Daisy, all while eluding local law enforcement authorities and scheming villains.

Gamers will race through Hazzard County completing missions while collecting power-ups, chasing other cars or racing against time. Players will also be able to shoot arrows loaded with dynamite in certain areas throughout the game, allowing players to blow out the bad guys' tires, clear the road of any obstacles, detonate bridges to lose a pursuer and complete the missions. The PlayStation version will be released in November with the PC version appearing in stores in January 2000.
