Just discovered they’re now defunct, its a bit sad, they produced some real classic games, from Project Gotham, Metropolis Street racer and F1 to the less conventional Geometry Wars and Fur Fighters. Gonna miss them. Oh and damn you Activision!

Never played any of their games but I have to agree with the damning of Activision
Why damn activision? (i ask carefully):fffuuu:
Generic scapegoats of the video game world.
Cuz… they’re a company and dey maek moneysz.
RIP
It seems that the UK government is more to blame about this than Activision.
Or because they closed them. Yeah the tax breaks the government used to offer being removed is not helpful for the British games industry.
Why did MS sell them to Activision? Or did MS just never own them to begin with?
Activision closed them because they asked them to achieve certain sales targets, then Activision wouldn’t advertise the games, and so said that Bizarre were unprofitable because no-one had bought the games, since no-one had heard about the games. Go figure.
Rest in peace Bizzare…the creators of my alltime favorite game, MSR
