PLAYSTATION 3 console makes this sequel truly the next generation of
combat racing."
Full Auto 2: Battlelines, currently being developed by Pseudo
Interactive, has been combat-enhanced and fully re-designed with an
extensive list of features entirely new to the franchise. Players can
get behind the wheel of 25 different vehicles ranging from classic
muscle cars and low riders to monstrous SUVs and industrial vehicles,
each of which can be customized with more than 20 explosive weapons as
well as multiple paint schemes and wheel styles. Taking on more than 20
tracks in the game, players will immediately notice how Full Auto 2:
Battlelines pushes next-generation technological boundaries with
breathtaking displays of destruction, physics, and speed.

control of Staunton City by conquering the six different districts and
taking control of opponent cars and weapons. The game's six different
carnage-filled multiplayer modes, which incorporate team play and
objectives ranging from classic deathmatches to unique base ***s
and gladiator-style gameplay, deliver a diverse range of competitive
options. The sequel implements the fan-favorite Unwreck? feature,
which allows players to turn back time and take another shot at a
treacherous turn, avoid a deadly obstacle, or simply avoid enemy fire.
With strategic destruction, next generation technology, and innovative,
diverse gameplay, Full Auto 2: Battlelines is poised to be one of the
most exhilarating combat-racing experiences available for the
PLAYSTATION 3 console.
