Take-Two have teamed up with British-based developers Argonaut to publish their upcoming watercraft racer Carve, on the Xbox. Carve allows for fast and furious water racing action, with 27 globe-spanning tracks that take in locations as diverse as Thailand, Iceland, Amsterdam and the Grand Canyon - (after a lot of rain we presume!). Once you earn your water wings, gamers are invited to attempt to master the ultimate challenge of the Steel Ocean. Carve has some interesting wetsuited racers to choose from, like Max - rich boy gone bad, and Amiko - ice maiden cum water babe. Carve also supports four-way split screen races, or eight player contests via the wonder that is Xbox Live. But we also like the sound of the team-based co-op mode that allows you to hinder other riders while giving your partner a chance to be first across the line.
Producer Caspar Field enthuses, "Carve offers advances in so many areas: the waves, team AI and trick systems - never mind the online mode - all are fantastic additions to the genre. We're pushing things forwards - for us, that's the point. Anything less would be a waste of time."
While the waters in Carve are choppy, its journey so far has been plain sailing, notes Joss Ellis, of Argonaut, "Carve is a truly great title, which demonstrates Argonaut's ability to create top race titles. We're immensely pleased with its speedy progress and look forward to releasing it in the near future".
Stay tuned to Silicon Fusion for more on Carve soon, but until than we have these new waterlogged screenshots of Carve in action.
