“As the fastest growing sport in North America, PBR is the perfect fit for the video game world,” says David Burchi, Sr. Vice President of Crave Entertainment / SVG.
“A two ton bull is a lot less dangerous on Wii or PlayStation 2 than it is in a PBR arena, but Crave and D2C managed to capture the essence of the sport in this game,” says Sean Gleason, COO of PBR. “We are extremely proud of PBR Out of the Chute and couldn’t be happier about the relationship with such great game developers and publishers.”
Players may create their own character and compete as a professional rider or a tenacious bull throughout ten three-round events in multiple locations, including New York, Anaheim and Atlanta.
PBR Out of the Chute is now available for Wii™ at a suggested retail price of $29.99 and for PlayStation®2 at a suggested retail price of $14.99.
