Konami Announces Soccer Quiz Challenge - Prizes Include White PSP and Copy of PES 5 (PSPUpdates)
Konami
of Europe's UK division has announced a new competition linked to its
popular online quiz game Going for Goal, part of its ongoing promotion
of the best-selling Pro Evolution Soccer 5 video game.Launched
to coincide with the PlayStation 2, PC-DVD, Xbox and PSP versions of
Pro Evolution Soccer 5 in November, Going for Goal is a web-based game
designed to test the user's knowledge of football trivia as they
attempt to score goals against a strict time limit.
Visitors to www.goingforgoal.com
name a team and take on a friend or CPU competitors in a tough quiz
setting. The play area is split into two coloured formations, each
representing those taking part. As a clock ticks away, the player is
asked a series of multiple-choice questions. On correctly answering
one, the ball is passed forward towards the opposition goal, while
getting it wrong sees the CPU or second player gain possession. If the
user strings together a succession of correct answers, a goal is scored
and the player is rewarded with gameplay footage from Pro Evolution
Soccer 5.
Further incentive to play has now been added in the
form of a white PSP handheld system and a copy of Pro Evolution Soccer
5 for the format. Going for Goal players can register for a prize draw
to win this coveted prize, with the competition closing at the end of
January, while the site will continue until March. Konami has also
updated the music used on the site, with Trick V Freemasons' 'Zap Me
Lovely (The Nokia Tune) appearing courtesy of Loaded Records.
"Going
for Goal has proved immensely popular, so we felt it was time to add a
further challenge from the trivia buffs out there," commented Jon
Murphy, UK PR and Marketing Manager for Konami of Europe. "A white PSP
is the perfect carrot to dangle in front of the competitive people who
keep returning to try their luck, and look forward to seeing who
emerges as top dog."
