Sonic Rivals is a head-to-head competition between Sonic and his top rivals, where the gloves are off and winner takes all! Built from the ground-up, the engine allows gamers to rip through tracks in some high-spirited single player and wireless multiplayer action against friends as Sonic returns in a whole new racing-platformer with classic 2D gameplay in true 3D environments for gamers on the go.
Whether playing against the computer or wirelessly against friends, gamers will pick one of four main characters and compete in races full of power-ups, boost moves, tripping, shoving, and other such displays of good sportsmanship. Each character has its own storyline, and the game includes a trading-card-style reward system that lets players customize their racers. Players can even wager their cards to spice up the wireless multiplayer battles.
What starts as a friendly competition between Sonic and Knuckles quickly intensifies as Shadow and other rivals jump into the action. Sonic Rivals allows gamers to utilize boost moves and power-ups to trip, shove, and vault over each other while hurtling towards the finish line at breakneck speeds. Players will negotiate wildly twisting 3D tracks while avoiding the insidious Dr. Eggman and his myriad of hazardous traps and contraptions.
Basically its a ramped up 2-D Sonic platformer that revolves on racing a bit.
It will not be developed by Sega nor Sonic Team, it'll be by Backbone Entertainment, who made Death Jr.
Here's the thing....
.....................................................................It's on the damn PSP.
