SONIC RIVALS 2 RACES TO STORES
SEGA® of America, Inc. today announced that Sonic Rivals™ 2, exclusively for the
PSP®, has shipped to stores across North America. This irresistibly addictive
action-platformer, one of the holiday’s hottest titles, brings intense action to
the PSP system, including two single player modes and six all-new multiplayer
modes.
Sonic Rivals 2 brings back the
classic 2D extreme speed action that Sonic is famous for. Twelve new ring-filled
stages have been created for this intense head-to-head race where the ultimate
goal is to rescue the Chao and uncover who is responsible for some dastardly
deeds. The game features eight playable characters – including three characters
who are all-new to the Sonic Rivals world : Miles “Tails” Prower, Espio the
Chameleon, and Rouge the Bat – each one with their own special skills and
abilities. Sonic Rivals 2 has two intense single-player modes – the Story mode,
which allows players to enjoy the whole story behind the head-to-head
competition, and Free Play mode in which gamers can explore this stunning world
at their own pace. Players can also collect 150 new cards, each bringing
new options for customizing playable characters.
Sonic Rivals 2 also offers a series
of exciting multiplayer modes thanks to the PSP system’s wireless and
single-disc sharing capabilities. The game features six different multi-player
modes, each of which is available using the single-disc game sharing for up to
two players. The multiplayer battle modes are: Knockout (where players try
desperately to knockout their opponent before the time runs out), Ring Battle
(where gamers do anything to make sure that they have the most rings when the
timer hits zero), Race (where the goal is to reach the finish line first), King
of the Hill (where players have to stay in the safety zone for as long as
possible before their time runs out), Capture the Chao (where gamers must
capture and hold onto their opponents Chao), and Tag (players fight to stay
alive in this intense game of avoiding the soon-to-explode bomb).
Sonic Rivals 2, exclusively for the
PSP system, is rated “E”.
