A key development encouraging greater degrees of competition is the new ‘Ghost Car Battle Mode’ allowing players to challenge other players even when they aren’t present. The game offers players further choice with new ‘streetwise’ cars, new tracks and a selection of enhanced playing modes.Due to the increased game detail and greater number of customisable options, the magnetic player’s cards will be capable of storing up to three times as much data as those of the game’s predecessor. And players with valid Maximum Tune 2 cards will be able to import and upgrade key features of their Story Mode status, including stages cleared, mileage, car colour, tuning status and number of battles/wins accrued previously. John Brennan, Product Manager at Namco Europe, commented: “Maximum Tune has remained at the top of the income charts for any driving game over a period of more than 24 months. Whilst the first and second incarnations remain great games in their own right, the increased opportunities for greater player interaction make Maximum Tune 3 a sure-fire hit for the 2007-08 season.”
