Ubisoft announced today the upcoming release of Monster 4x4: Stunt Racer exclusively for the Wii.  If you've been itching to get behind the wheel of a not-so-street-friendly vehicle, this is your chance.   The previous game in the series, Monster 4x4: World Circuit, came out a few years ago. 

Players are promised more tracks (which include the ability to drive up and on walls), bigger wheels, and crazier stunts.    If this sounds interesting to you, take a look at some screens and expect Monster 4x4: Stunt Racer to hit stores this fall. 


SAN FRANCISCO – August 27, 2009 – Today, Ubisoft announces the
development of Monster 4x4: Stunt Racer for the Wii(TM) system from
Nintendo. Monster 4x4: Stunt Racer puts Wii-lovers back into the
driver's seat for a whole new race. Gamers of all ages will enjoy even
bigger wheels, faster trucks and crazier stunts which made Monster
4X4: World Circuit the second highest selling driving game on the Wii
ever.

Whether you're grinding through inner-city construction sites,
crunching out-of-town canyons, or scraping through exclusive
wall-driving features, players will be able to perform vertical stunts
and find shortcuts as they take on their friends and family in
4-player split-screen modes.

"Monster 4x4: Stunt Racer is a game the fans of Monster Truck World
Circuit have been restlessly waiting for,” said Tony Key, senior vice
president of sales and marketing at Ubisoft. "Players will get to
experience more excitement, upgraded features and the exhilarating
action of steering the world's most powerful trucks while tearing
through new extreme off-road racing circuits.”

Monster 4X4 Stunt Racer key features:

• NEW STUNTS: Players can use nitro to pull off crazy stunts like
barrel rolls and back flips. Drive up vertical walls to reach
shortcuts, avoid difficult terrain and cross the finish line right
before your friends.

• NEW TRACKS: Monster 4x4: Stunt Racer takes players through 7 new
tracks ranging from inner-city construction sites to out-of-town
canyons. Each track will provide a new driving experience. The various
terrains will have different effects on the truck. Avoid mud pools and
patches of ice or risk losing control.

• ALTERNATE ROUTES: Players can navigate their way through levels by
choosing between different routes that vary in difficulty. Decide
between scoring points to gain nitro and taking the racing line to
make up time. This includes 50 different challenges across 10 ranks
and over 30 side missions.

• PLAY WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY: Have fun playing with friends and
family with up to 4 players on split-screen in a variety of
multiplayer games including Racing, Freestyle Show-Off and Last Man
Standing.

• INTUITIVE CONTROLS: Easy, wheel-friendly handling gives full and
intuitive control over your truck as you push it to the limit.

• NEW UPGRADABLE VEHICLES: Whether it's a European Super Car or a
powerful American SUV, Monster 4x4: Stunt Racer has a vehicle to match
individual driving styles. Every vehicle part (spoiler, tires,
engine…) can be upgraded, giving an extra edge during the race. This
includes 6 fully upgradable vehicles and 5 un-lockable supercars.

Monster 4x4: Stunt Racer is scheduled for release in Fall 2009.
