Biker Mice from Mars used to be a great underground animated hit back in 1993 when it was first aired, and for three seasons kept its fans entertained. The protagonists are three humanoid biker mice named Throttle, Modo, and Vinnie who escaped war on their home planet Mars and ended up being Chicago vigilantes. In an effort to capitalize on this old school gem, Game Factory
announced Biker Mice from Mars for PlayStation 2 and Nintendo DS, available in October.

A trailer has already been released, along with additional screenshots that reveal a straight on racing game, with extra action type fights and the occasional end-level bosses. Along with the great story to back it up, the title seemingly has all the cards to make a console hit. This time, the fastest mutant mice on earth must race against time to recover the one thing that can save their home planet: the Regenerator.

In the original series, the trio befriends Charlene "Charley" Davidson - the charming female mechanic - and discovers that the Plutarkians have come to Earth to exploit its natural resources. Already having caused massive devastation on Mars, they're the same smelly humanoid fish-like alien race who exploits other planets for natural resources because they have wasted all of their own. The biker mice discover that Chicago's leading industrialist, Lawrence Limburger, is actually a Plutarkian who disguises himself as a human. Limburger conjures the aid of villains like the sadistic mad scientist Dr. Karbunkle and the idiotic Greasepit to help him in his plots. All of the classic characters are expected to make an appearance, as the biker mice eventually foil all of Limburger's plans, like they do in each episode.
