Eidos announces Free Running, the world's first ever video game based on the urban phenomenon of parkour. Parkour, the art of movement, is less a sport and more a way of life. Its participants, known as Free Runners or Traceurs, view the environment and its obstacles, urban or natural, as a series of challenges to be overcome. To the Traceurs, parkour has a philosophical appeal: they feel transformed by the experience, free from the grind of city life. Since its inception in Paris during the mid-1980s, it has spread across the globe and now has an international army of exponents and enthusiasts.
In Free Running, the concrete jungle becomes your urban playground as you run, vault, jump or climb over obstacles in the most fluid and flowing manner possible. Test the boundaries of human ability as you perform death-defying leaps and jaw-dropping trips across inner-city rooftops. To be crowned King of Parkour, you must master over 50 moves, tricks and stunts including 'Kong Vaults', 'Pharaoh Climbs', 'Rail Split Vaults' and 'Vertical Wall Runs' in a variety of game modes while racing against human or computer-controlled competitors.
Free Running has been developed in association with Sebastien Foucan, one of the French founders of the movement, and the UK's foremost Parkour collection, Urban Freeflow. To aid your progress, Sébastien appears in the game as your mentor, teaching you new moves and tricks. Members of Urban Freeflow also make an appearance as unlockable playable characters.

To those immature people who are slagging of this game, you clearly don't understand enough about the philosophy behind Parkour. This is a serious extreme sport (with obvious serious dangers) and I think it is absolutely fantastic that it's being made into a game. Clearly as it is the first game of it's kind I'm dubious about HOW good a game it will be, but that said I will definately buy it and post a review. It takes me back to my childhood days growing up abroad and spending my days climbing trees, walls and doing what now seems insanely dangerous stuff with the environment just for the thrill. I can't wait to get my hands on this gem.

Looks really cool, but I can see them making a big deal about not having liability when kids accidentally commit suicide. (hey johnny, let's see if we can jump off the building, just like in my favorite video game...)

ok,
Jet Set Radio
Pokemon
Tony Hawk 1
