Cyanide and Focus Home Interactive are proud to announce that Tour de France 2009 is now available on Xbox LIVE Arcade for the Xbox 360.

Tour de France 2009 on Xbox LIVE Arcade is the official simulation of the world's most famous cycling competition, reproducing with an extreme fidelity all the upbeats that make the Tour de France one of the most exciting and intense sport competitions of today.

Choose your team from one of the 18 Pro Teams available, and lead it to victory through the 21 official legs of the edition 2009 of the Tour! Race through the classic landscapes that make up the charm of the Tour de France – forests, coastlines, steep mountains – but don’t fall asleep admiring the beautiful scenery! The other teams are determined to win the Tour, so you will have to battle fiercely! Early breakaways, fights for jerseys, sprints and your tactical sense will be crucial to winning the challenges.

Give live orders to your team during the legs, and establish your strategy in real time: management of the effort, protection of the leader, breakaways, or take direct control of your cyclists during the time-attack phases, and live all the intensity of the greatest cycling races.

Numerous Achievements are present to increase the challenge even further. Battle fiercely, wheel against wheel, against a friend on the same console, or race against the best sport managers online up to 4 via Live Arcade, to lead your team on the highest step of the podium!
