...and everywhere single, nerdy, male gamers rejoice. (I kid, I kid!)

Konami Digital Entertainment America today announced that their new stealth action adventure game, Cy Girls, has shipped to retail outlets in North America. Marking the debut of two new action heroines, Ice and Aska, gamers lead these spy divas on a perilous mission around the globe to fight crime and put an end to cyber-terrorism. Cy Girls packs two discs in one box so players can experience two distinct adventures as either Ice or Aska. Based on the popular Japanese action figures 'Cy Girls' from toy maker Takara , Cy Girls for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system is a new and unique action game with two different worlds, two styles of gameplay and two sexy female action stars.

With the use of explosive firepower and deadly martial arts skills, players must choose between Ice or Aska to take down criminals with their own individualized moves, abilities and storylines. A highly skilled markswoman with an arsenal of weapons at her disposal, Ice has the ability to shoot in all directions while executing acrobatic, death-defying moves. Aska, on the other hand, is a ninja master trained to wield the katana while utilizing a variety of fighting techniques to take down enemies.

Traveling from South America to the Far East to North America and beyond, the Cy Girls romp through a series of unique levels in both the real world and a parallel virtual world. While in the real world, players must master their characters' physical strengths in order to overcome their respective opponents. However, upon entering a parallel virtual universe, players will have to tap into their character's hacking abilities to uncover clues that will lead them to the mastermind whose intent is to destroy the world's infrastructure.

Cy Girls is rated "M" (Mature) by the ESRB and is available at retail outlets nationwide for an SRP of $39.99. To learn more about Cy Girls, please visit the official website at http://www.konami.com/cygirls.
