JAMDAT
Mobile Knocks Another One Out of the Park with
Home Run Derby Mobile Phone Users Invited to
Swing for the Fences
JAMDAT Mobile, a
leading provider of middleware technologies and
services for the creation, distribution and
monitoring of mobile entertainment applications,
today launched its latest cell phone game, Home
Run Derby. The baseball title is available on
leading wireless networks, as well as on JAMDAT's
WAP site.
"With the
All-Star Game right around the corner, we know
that fans will appreciate a fun, addictive
baseball title that captures the excitement of
the duel between pitcher and batter," said
Scott Lahman, studios president of JAMDAT Mobile.
Home Run Derby
allows players to create and customize their own
batters and pitchers, and compete to see if they
have more home run power than their opponents. In
the three-inning game, it's a sprint to see who
can hit the most home runs while also throwing
deceptive pitches to limit the opponent's
offense.
The batter's
statistics are then saved and adjusted each time
a game is played, providing fun and relevant
feedback about the strength of the player.
