Artificial Life is Bringing BMW Sauber F1 Team to the iPhone

LOS ANGELES and HONG KONG, March 4, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Artificial

Life, Inc. (OTCBB:ALIF) (www.artificial-life.com) today announced

another exclusive global agreement with BMW AG to produce a BMW Sauber

F1 Team racing car title for the iPhone and iPod touch. This is the

second collaboration between BMW and Artificial Life and follows the

first iPhone title, "BMW Z4 - An Expression of Joy."

The upcoming title will feature the new BMW Sauber F1.09 race car in

exquisitely crafted high quality 3D graphics and animations. In the

game, players take on the role of a BMW Sauber F1 Team driver to form a

team with avatars of the famous professional drivers Robert Kubica and

Nick Heidfeld racing against other virtual teams. Races will take place

on a wide variety of locations modeled after real race tracks around

the world.

To simulate an authentic racing experience, Artificial Life's

production team will take some key details of car racing into

consideration. Factors such as weather, physics and momentum will have

an effect on the car's performance. Realistic dynamic sound effects

officially pre-recorded of real BMW race cars will be featured in the

game. With the support of the touch screen and accelerometer features

of the iPhone, the multi-control game-play will allow for an exciting,

virtual, racing experience which will put the players' pro driving

skills to the test.

The game is tentatively scheduled for release in July 2009 pending

approval.

"Based on the great experiences with Artificial Life while developing

the 'BMW Z4 - An Expression of Joy' title, we are very excited to take

the next step together now. Like the brand new BMW Z4 Roadster, the BMW

Sauber F1 Team guarantees unique adventures, based on the combination

of excellent and banner product substance and a highly emotional

captivation through the BMW brand," said Uwe Dreher, Head of BMW

Motorsport Marketing.

"We are very pleased to work with BMW AG again on yet another exciting

title. Sports and racing are interesting mobile market segments for

both business and consumer applications on the iPhone. We will continue

to explore further opportunities to enrich our iPhone portfolio with

premium branded applications," said Eberhard Schoneburg, CEO of

Artificial Life, Inc.

"To follow the BMW Z4's "An Expression of Joy" campaign, players will be able to "draw" using the wheels of their car. They will be able to choose different colors of paint and as they drive the BMW Z4, the tire tracks will create drawings as if they are creating brushstrokes on a canvas. The landscapes in the game will be crafted with high quality 3D vector graphics. The upcoming title will let players feel as if they are actually behind the wheel of a BMW cruising at high speed and creating art at the same time.

This title will be the first car game to be produced by Artificial Life. A simplified free "lite" version of the game will be released in March 2009 pending third parties' approval, during the official Z4 presentations at the BMW Markenschaufenster in Berlin & Munich, Germany. The full version of the game is tentatively scheduled for release in June 2009 pending approval."
