Ubisoft announced today that it has signed a deal with Digital Jesters to distribute "Crazy Frog Racer", the first Crazy Frog video game, which is set to launch for PC, PlayStation 2 and Gameboy Advance this Christmas.

"Crazy Frog Racer" is a fast, high-octane wacky races style game that will appeal to all fans, young and old. Players can either choose to play as "The Annoying Thing" and D'Ding Ding their way to victory or take on the role of one of eight other unique playable characters and beat the frog at its own game. There are 12 different tracks to work through, including cityscapes and underground mazes, plus the option to have a single-player game or take on your mates in multi-player mayhem.

"We are delighted to have formed this partnership with Digital Jesters," said Rob Cooper, managing director northern Europe/Australia-NZ/export at Ubisoft. "We're extremely hopeful that Crazy Frog Racer will be just as big a success as the other Crazy Frog products have been to date. This is a truly mass market game with wide appeal to a very broad audience."

Crazy Frog Racer is scheduled to launch in November 2005 for PC and PlayStation 2.
