Original Sonic Game Offers Lively Head-to-Head Competition
SEGA today announced the development of Sonic Rivals exclusively for the PSP. Sonic Rivals is a head-to-head competition between Sonic and his top rivals. Built from the ground-up, the engine allows gamers to rip through tracks in single player and wireless multiplayer action against friends.
In Sonic Rivals, gamers can play as one of four different characters from the Sonic Universe, each with separate fast and winding storylines. In addition, the extensive rewards system, which is based on collecting trading cards, allows players to customize their favorite characters. Connect via wireless to race against a friend, and put trading cards on the line for even more multiplayer challenges.
Sonic Rivals is slated for release in Fall 2006 and developed by the Vancouver-based studio of Backbone Entertainment, a division of Foundation 9 Entertainment.
