Crave Entertainment in a partnership with Professional Bull Riders (PBR), Inc and DC2. have announced the release of PBR Out of the Chute for the Nintendo Wii and PlayStation 2. Players get to experience the thrill of riding a bull or experience the entire experience from the bull’s perspective.

“A two ton bull is a lot less dangerous on Wii or PlayStation 2 than it is in a PBR arena, but Crave and D2C managed to capture the essence of the sport in this game”, says Sean Gleason, COO of PBR. “We are extremely proud of PBR Out of the Chute and couldn’t be happier about the relationship with such great game developers and publishers.”

Players create their characters and then take those characters through ten three-round events across multiple locations. Players can either challenge the best or play as the best players, such as Guilherme Marchi, Justin McBride, and Chris Shivers. If a bull rider is not your thing, then you could play as the bull. The bulls have to attempt to buck the rider off.

PBR Out of the Chute sounds like an interesting game. I like the option to play as the bull or as a bull rider. The motion control of the Wii Remote makes a good fit for controls for this game.

PBR Out of the Chute can be picked up for $29.99 on the Nintendo Wii and $14.99 for the PlayStation 2.
