SAN FRANCISCO–(EMWNews)–Get ready to go for gold on your mobile phone! Two original games for

greatest sporting event on Earth with just a few clicks of a keypad and
extends the thrill of global competition to mobile phones with exciting
gameplay well-suited for casual gaming-on-the-go.
“Featuring rich graphics, quality audio and
one-thumb controls, Beijing 2008 and Sonic at the Olympic Games
both complement and extend the video game line-up for the Olympic Games,”
said Linda Chaplin, Vice President of SEGA Mobile. “These
two games are great examples of the fun that can be had on the mobile
platform – quality, snack-sized games that
are easy to pick up and play, are challenging and fun, yet difficult to
put down.”
In Beijing 2008, players will feel the excitement of the Olympic
Games as they compete in four authentic Olympic events –
100m, Hammer Throw, 200m Freestyle and Table Tennis. For quick action,
players can jump into any event in Quick Start mode, or quest to set
records and earn a place on the awards podium in Go for the Gold
mode. Representation for 32 countries and rich graphics bring the world’s
greatest sporting event to life.
Created exclusively for mobile phones, Sonic at the Olympic Games
invites players to join Team Sonic in a quest to make history at the
Olympic Games. Compete as Sonic, Tails, Knuckles or Amy in five events
including 1500m, 400m Hurdles, Triple Jump, Discus, and Javelin. A
progressive gameplay style adds to the challenge as difficulty increases
through the Qualifying rounds, the Heats and Semi Finals and ultimately,
the Finals. It’s the Olympic Games with a
Sonic twist!
