2010 Ford Taurus Featured in ‘Chasing the Shadow’ Game

American carmaker Ford recently revealed that its 2010 Taurus is starring in a new online interactive game, “White Collar: Chasing the Shadow,” which  is the online extension to the USA NETWORK hit TV drama “White Collar”. The game follows a con artist and FBI agent who team up to catch bad guys.

The Taurus is featured in both the television series and in the new game that allows players – acting as FBI trainees – to drive the Taurus and use its features to catch a notorious villain dubbed “The White Shadow.” 

For example, players use the Ford SYNC technology to access text messages that contain important crime-solving tips.

“Features like SYNC, SecuriCode, Adaptive Cruise Control and Collision Warning are used in the online game as they would be by a real-world consumer, and they seamlessly contribute to the game’s plot and puzzles,” Connie Fontaine, Ford Brand Content & Alliances manager, said in a release. “The game also is episodic in nature, giving players the ability to come back and solve new puzzles weekly and vary the ways in which they interact with the Taurus.”

“What we really liked about creating the online game with USA is that it not only introduces Taurus to millions of consumers through the popularity of online gaming but provides them with a very engaging way to experience the innovative technology and features in the new Taurus,” said Jeff Egen, Ford Car Experiential Marketing manager.
