Golf Engine Delivering Graphics So Rich Players Can Smell the Cut

Grass

Arriving just in time to put the "ho" in `ho-ho-ho,' Simon & Schuster Interactive announced today it has shipped "Outlaw Golf" for the Nintendo(R) GameCube (Rated: "T" by the ESRB; $49.95 estimated street price; also available for the Xbox(TM) video game system).

A gift that `keeps giving' for the golfer in your life, "Outlaw Golf" is a hardcore golf game with a humorous side that takes gamers to three different courses where you'd never find PGA members.

About OUTLAW GOLF

With a hardcore physics engine and a take-no-prisoners attitude, OUTLAW GOLF takes the sport to the extreme. Try your game on one of these outrageous courses:

- Turnpike Valley Country Club - Experience golf with a special flavor - a blend of toxic waste and traffic exhaust that cries New Jersey. Note the friendly message that local denizens have colorfully painted on the tastefully placed concrete supports that allow golf and heavy traffic to coexist. Don't forget to dodge low flying airplanes!

- Crusty Leaf Country Club - Remember the Civil War? They do. So look out for stray bullets and trailer parks as you head South

- where the loveliness of the golf course is offset by the

ugliness of certain local denizens. On the bright side, if

you've had a hankering for your first cousin, here's your

chance to get married properly!

- El Diablo Country Club - Golf in this desert setting and do

your part to wreck the environment. Enjoy the low flying

blimps, which are no more garish than the residents, and stop

in to visit Grandma and Gramps when you finish your round.

CHARACTERS

Only the finest individuals could golf on these courses. Choose to be:

- C.C. -- Growing up around six brothers meant CC learned early

in life to kick major sports-ass and wear dresses later. This

curvaceous and ultra-competitive Tom boy can dish out a

delicate chip shot or a vicious roundhouse kick to her good

natured, tubby caddy, Heavy G. By the way, don't ever call CC

a Tom boy to her face or you'll be looking out of your ear.

- Doc - Taking time off from his busy surgical and malpractice

schedule, Doc Diggler never passes up a chance hit the

links... even if it costs a few patients their lives. Lugging

clubs for doctor slice is his brain-dead caddy, Toast.

- El Suave - Hailing from the most sexy, exotic locale on the

planet - Tia Juana - El Suave is the only golfer ever known to

be able to pose before, during and after a golf swing.

Carrying the clubs for this Latin Lover of himself, is the

ultimate brown-noser, golfshoe-licking toady, El Ramon.

- Harley -- Born in a motorcycle repair shop, Harley grew up

with a crowbar in one hand and a golf club in the other.

Harley perfected her golf swing beating up boyfriends and

relatives. She is currently living in a van with her fellow

hog-riding, tough-yet-tender boyfriend and caddy, Snake.

Harley can frequently be seen on TV, usually being handcuffed

and hauled off by local police for disorderly conduct.

- Ice Trey -- Hailing from the rough and tumble, crime-ridden

inner city streets of Beverly Hills, wannabe rapper, Ice Trey,

dropped out of school to pursue his dream of rapping and

playing golf -- a decision that was about as promising as his

single digit S.A.T. score. Caddying for Ice Trey is his

one-man posse, spinner and tattoo consultant - Fresh Fruit.

- Killer Miller -- Just released from prison strictly on

technicality, Killer Miller takes pride in his long game and

his short temper. At 6' 5" and 275 pounds of angry, rippling

muscle, Killer puts on quite a show -- bringing new meaning to

the expression "slaying his audience." Toting Killer's clubs

is his caddy, confidant and twenty dollar an hour shyster

attorney, A. Lance Chaser, Esquire.

- Scrummy O'Doole -- When he's not out swinging his niblick on

the back nine at St. Andrews, legendary soccer hooligan and

world-class barroom brawler, Scummy O'Doole, likes to kick

back and pass out in his own vomit.

- Summer -- Hailing from the Big Apple, where she splits her

time between PHD studies in molecular biology at Columbia

University, and entertaining foreign businessmen in the

champagne room of the Pink Flamingo, please welcome sultry

Summer, and her equally ample caddy, Autumn. Remember

gentleman, after the game these ladies will be available for

autographs... and lap dances. Bring plenty of singles.

- Trixie -- Trixie has been playing golf at private clubs ever

since she was a wee little snob. Dumb as a ball washer and

ruder than a slicing drive, Trixie's handicap is her mouth.

She hails from quote-unquote "none of your business, USA."

Carrying Trixie's bags is her deep-pocketed and dirty old

caddy, Ed.

- Mistress Suki - Hitting the links, literally, is one

tightly-laced, leather-clad golfing diva whose game is all

about discipline. Inflicting maximum punishment on every ball

she hits is Mistress Suki, assisted by her bruised and

battered, but amiable 300 pound whipping-boy caddy, Puddin'.

Watching these two out on the course is an excruciatingly

exciting experience.

DRIVING RANGE

Use the Range to practice skills and improve your character's statistics. There are many different exercises to improve putting, driving and accuracy. After completing an event, you're awarded skill points to distribute to a selected character.

COMPOSE YOURSELF DAMMIT!

In OUTLAW GOLF, you'll also experience our scientifically-perfected "composure response system." The better you play, the smoother the controls become; but the worse you play, the harder the controls get -- just like in real life, the worse you play, the harder it is to regain your composure and focus. But don't worry because the CRS helps you regain your composure in two ways - first, by focusing, concentrating, and getting your game under control, and if that plan fails - by beating the snot out of your caddy!

In OUTLAW GOLF your daddy's pastime becomes a full contact sport!

HE WILL BUST YOUR BALLS

Steve Carell, best known for his reports on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show," is your host through this amazing journey known as golf. Mr. Carell provides color commentary on your every shot, no matter how bad it is.
