Midway Continues Hot Streak as MLB SlugFest: Loaded Touches Home for PlayStation2 and Xbox; On-Fire, In-Depth and Online; MLB SlugFest: Loaded Aims for the Fences
Midway's MLB SlugFest: Loaded shipped to stores nationwide today.
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 21, 2004--Midway Games Inc. (NYSE:MWY), a leading interactive entertainment publisher and developer, announced today that MLB SlugFest(R): Loaded(TM), the newest title in the company's exclusive, adrenaline-style baseball series, has shipped for the PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment system and the Xbox(R) video game system from Microsoft.
MLB SlugFest: Loaded is the only baseball videogame for the 2004 season featuring Midway's classic fast and furious gameplay with hard tags and over-the-top animations. This year's SlugFest features today's greatest baseball players and is "loaded" with over-the-top abilities, including turbo-speed running, highlight reel-worthy fielding, earth-shaking collisions and, as one would expect from a Midway Sports(TM) title, the ability for a player to catch fire and turbo charge the game action. The game also features online play for both PlayStation 2 and Xbox and Loaded is the first ever game to incorporate Microsoft's new Xbox Live 3.0 features.
"MLB SlugFest: Loaded is the most in-depth product in our successful baseball franchise," said Steve Allison, chief marketing officer, Midway. "By adding the deepest franchise engine available with Baseball Mogul(R), a full online mode, and even more classic, over-the-top gameplay than ever before, this year's SlugFest truly lives up to its 'Loaded' name."
MLB SlugFest: Loaded Accolades From Game Enthusiast and Men's Lifestyle Press:
-- "Baseball season just wouldn't be right without a dose of over-the-top arcade action from the good folks at Midway." - PLAY! (Received an 'A' grade)
-- "The most versatile baseball game ever." - PSM (8 out of 10)
-- "Another round of bean balls, hard tags and 'on-fire' home run action? We're psyched." - Maxim (4 out of 5)
-- "...SlugFest Loaded is a fantasy-fueled blast." - KING Magazine
