Racing game now available in North America.

Codemasters announced today that ToCA Race Driver 2 has shipped to North American retail outlets for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, complete with online play.

Whether online or offline, players can compete in a multitude of motorsport events against a host of deadly rivals, all out to claim victory for themselves. With each win, drivers will unlock more tracks, vehicles and competitions.

Plus players can take it online and compete in races with up to 8 players simultaneously. The game's online multiplayer modes lets players devise their own championship for others to join, or search specifically for the kind of competition they want; alternatively drivers can just jump straight into the racing action. Players can judge their skill using the global rating system, or maintain a Friends List of favorite competitors. Full voice support allows all 8 players to talk with each other at any time, with no restrictions.

With more than 50 global racing circuits, ToCA Race Driver 2 comes to PlayStation 2 with extra content including an additional circuit, Spain's Catalunya, and an enhanced Championship structure that allows for 99 additional car and track combinations. Drivers will start as professionals – there are no boring “tests” to take before playing the game – the first car is the awesome Ford GT!

Featuring more motorsports than any other racing game, ToCA Race Driver 2 is now available for PlayStation 2. Fans can get a taste of life in the fast lane with images and videos at the game’s dedicated website at http://www.codemasters.com/tocaracedriver2.
