Le Tour De France Cycles To Consoles

Focus Home Interactive has just announced that Tour de France: The Official Game will be coming to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles this summer. The game is developed by Cyanide, and it will be out in Europe on July 1st.

Cyanide is also responsible for the Pro Cycling Manager series on the PC, and is now branching out to consoles. Tour de France will allow players to control a single rider in each of the 21 official stages playable in the game, moving completely throughout the Tour de France race series. Tour de France: The Official Game will enable you to fight shoulder to shoulder with the greatest cycling champions during intense stages full of twists and turns! Manage the efforts of your riders over the grueling stages and ride honorably to gain the respect of the pack. Your loyalty and your actions will shape your reputation throughout the competition and will allow you to renew or destroy strategies and alliances which often prove decisive in this huge 21 stage race.

So far, the game looks very polished. The graphics are near lifelike, and it’s shaping up to be the perfect title for the cycling enthusiast. Though no North American release date has been specified, we imagine it will be hitting not too long after its Eurpoean release.
