Konami
of Europe has announced it is to launch Street Supremacy, a
multi-player racing game, specifically developed by Genki for PSP.
Due
for release in March 2006, Street Supremacy is a high-octane racing
title featuring a wealth of licensed vehicles. The game is a team-based
racer wherein players partake in 'five against five' knockout
tournaments in one player mode or can use the PSP's wireless abilities
to compete against a second player. In the two-player mode, players
select a vehicle and race against the second player in a battle to be
first past the winning post. The game's 'Team Battle' mode, however,
ups the ante considerably and sets a fiercely competitive challenge.
Street
Supremacy's 'Team Battle' mode divides the game map into 15 areas, with
teams vying to dominate the game map. The battles are further split
into individual races between the different Teams and individual
racers, with points awarded for each victory. Players can then judge
who to select against specific rivals, cherry-picking their rivals from
the player roster as they look to seize territories. The 'Team Battle'
also encourages competition within each team, as winning racers are
upgraded in their side's rankings and become more instrumental in
helping secure areas of the game map.
In
addition to Street Supremacy's stunning racing action, the PSP game's
cars can also be modified to give you an edge in the races. The game's
authentically modelled Nissans, Mitsubishis and Subarus can all be
enhanced with new exhausts, engine upgrades and body kits. These all
prove vital in shaving seconds off the lap times, while stickers and
fancy lights can be used to enhance the car's aesthetics, adding a
layer of gloss to an already entertaining PSPTM racer.
Street Supremacy will be released for PSPTM in March 2006.
