The game works under Windows only and was released in April 2009. The Moscow Racer was developed by iRS Games Studio (Moscow, Russia) and published by Akella company (Moscow, Russia) in April 2009. ==Announcement== The very first announcement of the Moscow Racer game was in Russia in October 2007. At the same time the first video of early technical demo was published. Alexey Cardo, the producer of the Moscow Racer, was quoted in the very first press-release of the game, describing the ambitions of the studio as "We completely understand that we won't make an absolutely top-level game from the very first step...what we are going to do is to create a series of good and dynamic racing games. And after several releases, we plan to make products of world-best quality".〔 In April 2008 another video of improved version of the game was published. Pre-release versions of the Moscow Racer had been demonstrated at a number of public events, including the 2008 E3 Expo. A number of sites and magazines have posted their previews of the game, mostly interested in the opportunity to race in highly-realistic streets of Moscow: GamersInfo.net: "Da, comrade speed racer, here we go!" "There are two things that really show up for a street racing game: credibility, in terms of having the verisimilitude of the racing, as well as the setting, have a unique and interesting setting that sets you firmly into position as to where and why you're racing. Moscow Racer does this on both counts... hopefully we'll get a chance to really sit down and see how it feels to put the pedal to the metal in a Ford Mustang on Moscow city streets". GameSpot.com: "Moscow Racer is still very early on, but its intriguing locale should offer an interesting change of pace for PC game players, who don't have a lot of racing games to choose from these days, anyway." In Russia the Moscow Racer had received a number of awards during development phase («The Best Debut of the Year» Russian Games developers Conference and other). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Moscow Racer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
