TGS!!Need for Speed Underground Rivals
EA Games has revealed the first details on Need for Speed Underground Rivals, its upcoming racing game for the PlayStation Portable handheld system. EA's Need for Speed racing series has been around for many years on many platforms, but it has only recently embraced the culture of underground street racing. Need for Speed Underground was released last year on the PS2, the Xbox, the GameCube, and the PC, and it was met with critical and consumer success thanks to its combination of high-speed racing, impressive graphics, and its tuning features, which let players build out and tweak their very own muscle car.



The game will feature new play modes and even Wi-Fi support.
EA Games is already working on the console sequel Need for Speed Underground 2, but it also has this new racer in the works for the PSP. Like with the previous games in the series, Rivals will let you play as an ambitious young racer seeking fame and a better ride in underground racing circuits. The game will feature 10 all-new tracks to race on--according to EA, these tracks have been "specially designed to maximize the experience on the handheld platform." Like with previous games, it will also feature a tuning system that will let you customize your cars to tweak their performance out on the road. The game will feature tuner cars from both Japan and America along with yet-unspecified new game modes. Interestingly, the game will also support competitive multiplayer play with new game modes and Wi-Fi support.

Need for Speed Underground Rivals is currently scheduled for release later this year in Japan and next spring in North America. Stay tuned to GameSpot for more details. For more PSP updates, check My Tokyo Game Show 2004 coverage. AND VIST ME PARTY.
