Think you have what it takes to beat the best swimmer the world has ever seen, Michael Phelps, at his own game? You might want to think again after checking out this brand new trailer! Shot with the revolutionary Phantom HD camera that captures action in stunning HD and all at an astounding 1,000 frames per second, gamers can see in greater detail and clarity than ever before just what kind of champion they’ll be up against in Michael Phelps: Push the Limit, coming exclusively to for Kinect™ for Xbox 360® later this fall.
Fans can watch Michael Phelps compete in the Fédération Internationale de Natation (FINA) 2011 World Championships in Shanghai with his first race on Saturday, July 23, 2011, being broadcast by Universal Sports.
For the first time ever, Michael Phelps: Push the Limit brings the fun, fitness and excitement of head-to-head swimming to your Kinect. With innovative, motion-controlled gameplay technology, you can turn your living room into a king-sized pool – big enough for the whole family or a bunch of friends! Splash into casual fun match-ups against friends and family, or dive deeper and immerse yourself in the world of competitive swimming in Career Mode, and climb through the ranks for a chance to take on one of the world’s greatest athletes: Michael Phelps, himself.
The game is developed by Blitz Game Studios. As recently announced, the Speedo brand will appear on all swimwear and caps in game as well as touch pads within all of the pool environments. In Michael Phelps: Push the Limit, players strive to compete in the Annual Games which are held in the Speedo Stadium, a specially built in-game environment fully branded by Speedo.
