LEADING EUROPEAN PUBLISHER SUMEA EXPANDS AVAILABILITY OF AWARD-WINNING
WIRELESS GAMES TO OPERATORS OFFERING BREW™ SERVICES WORLDWIDE
Finnish Mobile Entertainment Powerhouse Announces Roster of BREW-based Games

Sumea, an award-winning game publisher, today announced three of its most popular, premium wireless game titles, developed for QUALCOMM’s Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless™ (BREW) platform, are available for operators that have deployed BREW-based products and services. Users will soon be able to play and enjoy Yo-Yo Fighter, Fantasy Warrior and Racing Fever 2 on their BREW-enabled handsets.

The three popular titles include:

Yo-Yo Fighter — A platform-style game in which the player controls the hero Yozo in his attempt to rescue his friend Jaco who is lost on the World of Stone. The game features a total of 17 action-packed levels with plenty of obstacles to negotiate and lots of baddies to slay... with a yo-yo! Superb graphics, a great storyline and the odd cheat or two, make the game play of this new title totally addictive and captivating for a wide audience.

Fantasy Warrior — A story-driven, role-play adventure game with multiple characters, monsters, dungeons and collectable items, in which the player controls a boy called Rento, the hero. Rento must find a way to dispel the sealed dungeon’s spell while doing favors for people along the way who can help in his quest. By practicing Rento’s fighting skills with fearless sword masters and collecting uniquely mysterious artifacts, you will finally get to meet the fearsome demons and cyclops who guard the gate to the Mountain of Darkness.

Racing Fever 2 — This sequel to Racing Fever—Sumea’s most famous game to date and the benchmark for mobile racing games—includes multiple tracks, road types, weather conditions and opponent drivers. The objective in Racing Fever 2 is to drive better and faster than your current opponent to unlock the next track. But you’d better make sure that you don’t collide with slower cars on the road, as this will slow you right down!
