Acclaim Entertainment, Inc.(NASDAQ:AKLM), Glenn Cove, N.Y., a worldwide interactive entertainment company, has introduced its outrageous kart-style racing adventure, South Park Rally for the PlayStation(R) game console with Nintendo(R) 64, PC and Sega Dreamcast(TM) to follow shortly. Developed by Tantalus Interactive, South Park Rally features mission-based game modes and all of those zany characters featured in Comedy Central's hit series.

"South Park Rally is all about player interaction," said Thomas Bass, manager at Acclaim Entertainment. "Unlike other racing games where players avoid the other players in order to win, South Park Rally encourages interaction between players, which makes for some insane and wildly fun gameplay."

In South Park Rally players choose from one out of 27 South Park characters who drive vehicles matching their individual personality, such as Cartman in his police tricycle, Grampa in his jet-powered wheelchair and Starvin' Marvin in his motorized wheat sack. South Park Rally players get to race through seven tracks , including a volcano and Big Gay Al's Animal Sanctuary. All of South Park Rally's game modes are based on holidays and events that take place in the town of South Park. For example, in the New Year's Eve race, players must find the dimensional key and hold on to it for a whole two minutes before reaching the finish line. If no one crosses the finish line in time, Satan will take over the world and the little town of South Park will never see the birth of the new Millennium.

Playing as a South Park character in South Park Rally means getting hold of lots of demented gadgets and pick-ups that will thwart your opponents such as the dancing underwear gnomes, exploding cheesy poofs and more. South Park co-creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker, along with Isaac Hayes once again do us the honors of voicing hundreds of original, side-splitting one-liners specifically for South Park Rally.
