SEGA® of America, Inc. today announces the release of "Virtual on Marz™," exclusively for PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system. The latest version of the Virtual On series from Sega's Hitmaker! studio offers a combination of mech combat and street brawling in a lightning-fast weapon-intensive arena-based Battle Royal.

As a member of "Marz," a Special Investigation unit, players are thrust into the pilot's seat of a giant mech known as a Virtuaroid (VR), an immensely capable machine built specifically for combat. Blasting through a variety of missions on various planets, players will set out to defeat enemy VRs, locate new areas, attack enemy locations and convoys, defend allied bases, and fight alongside other VRs in explosive 2-on-2 battles.

Players choose from Challenge Mode, Dramatic Mode, and 2-player Versus Mode. For "Virtual On" experts, a new "Virtual twin stick" setting enables the analog thumbsticks to be used just like the famous arcade unit "twin sticks."

Virtual on Marz" for PS2 is rated "T" for Teen, and is available at retailers nationwide for $49.99.
