Video: PS3 and PSP Minis Month: Red Bull X-Fighters in 2010

116w ago - As part of PS3 and PSP Minis month, today SCEE's European Product Manager Adam Grant shared a video showcasing Red Bull X-Fighters in 2010.

To quote: Red Bull X-Fighters is currently on sale in the minis Special Offers section on the store. The game is based on the Red Bull X-Fighters International Freestyle Motorcross Championship and here is a re-cap of the 2009 Championship to get you in the mood!

After the most spectacular showdown in the history of Red Bull X-Fighters in London in 2009, the premier freestyle motocross series in the world returns in 2010 with new riders, new locations and plenty of new tricks.

This year will once again see the crème-de-la-crème of the international FMX scene battle it out for the coveted title of Red Bull X-Fighters Champion.





Jostling for a place with old classics such as the traditional curtain raiser in Mexico City (MEX) and the legendary two-day event in the Spanish capital of Madrid (ESP) will be new and exciting locations for 2010.

The second event of the six-stop Tour will take place in the shadow of the Pyramids and the world famous Sphinx in the city of Giza (EGY), where the dry heat and blazing sun will be sure to push the athletes to the limit.

The next highlight follows just weeks later, as the Red Square and the Kremlin in the Russian capital of Moscow (RUS) host the world's 12 best freestyle motocross athletes. Following Moscow, London (UK) will be recharged once more to electrify the crowd and the riders. The Red Bull X-Fighters finally head to the Eternal City, Rome (ITA), to crown the Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour Champion.

Last year it was America's Nate Adams who claimed the title in front of a sell-out crowd of 20,000 at London's Battersea Power Station following a thrilling season full of twists and turns. This time around, "The Destroyer" Adams is back to try to defend his title and secure his place as one of the all-time greats of Red Bull X-Fighters.

Among his most dangerous challengers will be multi-world record holder Robbie Maddison (AUS), who will be looking to finally secure victory in the overall standings after placing third and second, respectively, in 2008 and 2009.

In 2010, Red Bull X-Fighters is no longer an invitational. Instead of holding a ranking event, qualifying will be done according to performance and the World Tour ranking. The top six riders will be pre-qualified. This means that Nate Adams (USA), Robbie Maddison (AUS), Eigo Sato (JPN), Mat Rebeaud (SUI), Dany Torres (ESP) and Levi Sherwood (NZL) are already seeded for the season opener in Mexico, based on their standings at the end of the 2009 season.

Four spots will be battled out by six riders, who have been selected by the international Red Bull X-Fighters jury following an own application process which was started in autumn last year. 2 Wild Card riders will complete the starting list.

"This method will guarantee a fair competition on the highest sportive level with only the very best riders competing at each single Tour stop," explained Sports Director Tes Sewell.

Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour 2010

April 16th: Mexico City, MEX
May 14th: Giza, EGY
June 26th: Moscow, RUS
July 22nd/23rd: Madrid, ESP
August 14th: London, UK
October 1st: Rome, ITA

And you can experience spectacular freestyle motocross action as you attempt to finish the World Tour as champion on your PSP and PS3 in the fantastic minis game, in Red Bull X-Fighters.

Play as one of the world's top riders. Try out eight different locations and arenas, tackle 64 levels and master 20 gravity-defying stunts. Take to your bike, launch from huge ramps and pull off truly stunning and jaw-dropping tricks whilst in the air. Get riding.

having "x fighter" in the title totally mislead me, lol. i was hoping it was rocket racing as i forgot the term rocket racing until i searched for it after being disappointed by the post. the planes look similar to an "x" from the bottom when they are flying and they use jet engines that i associate with "regular" fighter aircraft.

here is a link a rocket racing page if anyone is interested: http://www.rocketracingleague.com/
