Glimmerati: Living In The Fast Lane On The N-Gage Game Deck

Espoo, Finland, April 21, 2005 – Nokia and Bugbear Entertainment Ltd today released updated information on their highly anticipated racing title Glimmerati. Set in the 80’s glamorous jet set world, Glimmerati is
an arcade style racing extravaganza with a gripping storyline and
challenging missions offering players thrilling rides in designer super
cars, powerboats and even rocket propelled vehicles!

Set in four exciting real-world based locations: Paris, Milan, the Alps,
and Monaco, Glimmerati boasts a unique setting in the fast lane life of
movie moguls, super models and pop stars. A lucky street race opens the
player’s the door to Club Glimmerati, the racing club of the rich and
famous. Race against the German film producer Klaus Staumacher and burn
the rubber with beautiful American socialite Penelope Ashcroft.

The best players will be able to gain access to a special stage, set on
a Mediterranean island, where the winner not only walks away with the
gold trophy, but also steals the presidency of Club Glimmerati from the
famous ex-formula 1 race driver Maxwell McCain.

“Fast cars and beautiful ladies – that is the essence of Glimmerati”
says Jussi Laakkonen, business development director at Bugbear
Entertainment Ltd. “It feels good to win a car from a heated street
race, but it feels a lot better to win it from a fabulous looking and
furiously driving supermodel!”

Developed by Bugbear Entertainment and published by Nokia, Glimmerati is
a one of a kind game on the N-Gage game deck. The game features
extensive N-Gage Arena support including unique Club Cards recording the
player’s individual way through the branching Glimmerati storyline. The
fun is taken to the maximum as up to four players tear through the
game’s highflying locales racing via Bluetooth connection!

Glimmerati is expected to be released for the N-Gage game deck summer
2005.

Bugbear Entertainment is available for press interviews during E3 at the
Nokia booth.

The N-Gage is definitely short on good racing games, and the only one I’ve played I didn’t like. So it’s going to be great to see how Glimmerati plays when it comes out.
