Goods This Holiday Season
Psyonix Studios announced today that

insanely long name has received a five-dollar price break and is now available

entertainment system at the steal-of-a-deal price of $9.99.
In addition to receiving a generous

that only adds to the overall gaming fun-factor and experience associated with
SARPBC.

-
New "Cosmic" arena

A server browser has been added
during matchmaking -
Players can now view leaderboards
during matchmaking -
News updates appear on the online

At absolutely no cost to the player
"Cosmic," the newly added arena, presents a brand-new challenge to Battle-Cars
combatants by integrating quarter-pipe ramps that lead up to each of the goals.
Gamers will be graced with the majestic view of deep-space as the arena orbits a
beautiful yet mysterious uncharted planet. Like other SARPBC arenas, "Cosmic"
places the focus on teamwork and communication, but never lets fun fall in
second place.
SARPBC features unique
rocket-powered cars with incredible physics-based maneuverability, including the
ability to rocket into the air or accelerate at supersonic speeds on the ground
by racing over boost strips, obtaining boost capsules or by performing a rapid
succession of acrobatic flips. While in the air, cars can roll, flip, jump,
dodge or spin in a freestyle fashion. In the team-based soccer game, players
maneuver their vehicles to perform breathtaking saves, awe-inspiring shots and
of course achieve supersonic speeds that literally turn your opponents into
scrap metal. These abilities, combined with the players’ own creativity and
skill create a unique and thrilling experience every time.
"We really wanted to give back to
our growing community for the holidays," said Dave Hagewood, Founder/Development
Director of Psyonix Studios. "We’ve added the most requested features, lowered
the price of the game and added a free new arena. You get more Battle-Cars for
your gaming buck!"
Wide-ranging community involvement
is supported through team and league play, as well as extensive and thorough
statistical tracking, rankings and rewards for individuals and teams, including
support for PLAYSTATION®3 system trophies. The game features three single player
modes as well as team and league matches and scrimmage matches online. Using the
full featured in-game video editor, players have the ability to save, upload and
share their amazing triumphs and hysterical battle-car antics to their
PLAYSTATION®3 system harddrive or upload clips directly to YouTube™.
Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered
Battle-Cars is available now for only $9.99. A free trial version of the game,
featuring both online and offline gameplay, is also available on the
PlayStation®Network.
