Level Up! has always been at the forefront of successfully localizing the best online games from other countries to be played and enjoyed by Filipino gamers. Once again, the company has brought another game that will surely become a new craze in Internet cafés — Crazy Kart!
The arrival of Crazy Kart to the Philippines is the result of the recent partnership forged by Level Up! with Shanda Interactive China, developer of Crazy Kart.
“Level Up! is continuously on the lookout for new games that will appeal to all our players,” said Ben Colayco, founder of Level Up!
“When we heard about Shanda and their award-winning Crazy Kart game, we knew exactly what will be the next big thing to hit Level Up! and our local online gaming industry,” he said.
In Shanghai, China, Shanda is the most successful online gaming company, operating 15,000 network servers in 65 cities across China.
Last year, Shanda earned $324.6 million in revenues from online games that include MMORPGs and casual games.
As the newest casual game ever to hit Philippine shores, Crazy Kart is an online kart racing game filled with rich, massive 3D atmosphere and lovable characters. Aside from FreeStyle, also by Level Up!, it is a breath of fresh air from the abundance of MMORPGs today.
“We wanted to offer something different apart from all the other online games we had in the past,” said Jane Walker, CEO of Level Up! Philippines.
“Crazy Kart’s fun and interactive gameplay will appeal to everyone — simple enough for casual gamers to learn the controls like drifting; challenging enough to keep hardcore gamers entertained and come back for more! Crazy Kart will surely create a new massive fan base and a breed of racing fans among Pinoy gamers,” Walker added.
Lap after lap, players will enjoy countless hours of Crazy Kart since it’s free to play. Its exciting features include a lineup of unique karts to customize and choose from; intense online battles where individuals or teams can challenge other players nationwide; colorful avatar drivers with different characteristics or personalities; an array of essential items to help boost a kart’s performance; and out-of-this-world race tracks for players to master their drifts.
To make Crazy Kart’s arrival to the Philippines even more exciting, Level Up! plans to further localize the game according to the taste of Pinoy gamers. Imagine, players will someday have the option to race familiar vehicles like the Pinoy jeepney or even race on famous Philippine locations.
Level Up! will begin the closed beta testing for Crazy Kart soon. For more information. check out the official Crazy Kart Philippines website http://www.crazykart.ph.
