LOS ANGELES – September 24, 2002 – Infogrames,
Inc., (NASDAQ: IFGM) a leading global publisher of interactive entertainment
software, has shipped Big Air Freestyle™, an extreme motocross game for the
Nintendo GameCube(TM), to store shelves this week.

Developed by Infogrames’ own Paradigm
Entertainment, Big Air Freestyle promises players the most exhilarating
motocross experience on Nintendo GameCube with the biggest air and the sickest
freestyle tricks. The game features more than a dozen riders in all three
classes (125cc, 250cc and 500 cc), racing across more than 20 gritty real-world
and fantasy tracks.

“Big Air Freestyle raises the bar for
motocross video games by pushing the boundaries of graphics and playability,”
said Jean-Philippe Agati, senior vice president and head of Infogrames, Inc.’s
Los Angeles studio. “This game puts you deep in the mud in all three motorbike
sports – Motocross, Supercross and Freestyle. With a massive number of tracks
and riders, coupled with incredible physics for superior handling and great
control, Big Air Freestyle is so extreme, gamers will be cleaning the dirt off
their TVs.”

Big Air Freestyle offers deep gameplay in
three unique gameplay modes, encompassing the entire two-wheel offroad
experience — Freestyle, Motocross and Supercross. Players choose to race on
large outdoor tracks or specially designed indoor arenas in Motocross and
Supercross racing modes. Freestyle mode invites gamers to careen through the air
pulling off death-defying stunts – including the traditional “Can Can” and the
impossible “Cliffhanger” — in indoor fantasy arenas loaded with high ramps and
exploding obstacles. The in-your-face action takes place on more than 20
motocross and supercross tracks and six fantasy freestyle arenas.

Big Air Freestyle provides the most realistic
racing experience with a vast selection of extreme bike models for each engine
class (125cc, 250cc and 500cc), disturbingly dirty mud projections,
straight-to-the-action controls, interactive Artificial Intelligence, fully
animated riders, front and rear brakes and photo-realistic track features.

Each of Big Air Freestyle’s tracks are
living, breathing environments with waving flags and animated track officials,
spectators, cheerleaders and cameramen. The game features a thumping soundtrack
that includes music from chart topping acts such as 311 and Sugarcult.

As an extra feature, a playable demo of the
highly anticipated monster fighting game, Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee,
is also included on the disk. In the demo, players can take control of one of
the legendary Toho creatures and battle other gargantuan foes across fully 3D
and interactive arenas of city-wide scale. Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee
will ship to retail stores in October for Nintendo GameCube™.

Big Air Freestyle shipped to most retail
stores this week with an estimated retail price of $49.99 and an ESRB rating of
T for Teen.
