SEGA keeps on rollin’ with the press releases. Today’s release announces Sonic Rivals for the PSP. 2D gameplay on 3D maps looks to bring Sonic back to his early days. Those who have picked up Sonic Rush on the DS know how refreshing that can be. Sonic Rivals offers both single player and multiplayer options. However, the press release doesn’t specify if the single player is based on racing or more traditional Sonic. Also not specified is whether the game offers online multiplayer or only ad hoc—the release merely refers to “wireless play”. It’s also interesting that Sonic Rivals is being developed by a studio called Backbone Entertainment. What, no Sonic Team?
Sometimes, I wish that I still had my PSP.
