Suzuki Runs with Kizashi Ring of Fire Game
The Kizashi Ring of Fire app for iPad and iPhone is a single player racing game. Players experience the Kizashi in four fantasy track locations – Tokyo, Siberia, Alaska and Los Angeles – locations recently visited on the Tokyo to L.A.: The Hard Way road trip.
American Suzuki Motor Corp. (ASMC) announced Wednesday, Dec. 22, the launch of Kizashi Ring of Fire racing game app for iPad and iPhone as a free download from the App Store.
With this launch, Suzuki builds on its multiplatform approach to promote the all-new Kizashi sport sedan in conjunction with the company’s intercontinental road trip Tokyo to L.A.: The Hard Way, which concluded this summer.
In addition, the app becomes the first commercial racing game powered by Brass Monkey remote control technology, which debuted at E3 in Los Angeles earlier this year, says the company.
