Sonic Rivals 2 Announced

Following up on the poorly received Sonic action platformer, Sega has announced that Sonic Rivals 2 is in development exclusively for the PSP. Speeding onto store shelves this Autumn, the sequel will introduce new features including a revamped rival “jostling” gameplay system allowing for closer head-to-head competition. There will be upgraded power-ups and weapons as well.

The game will also feature a brand new Battle mode, allowing two players to jump into six different multiplayer challenges by sharing just one disc using the PSP’s Wi-fi function. It will also feature new characters as well as a Free Play mode. Additionally, card trading and collection in Sonic Rivals 2 has been increased and will include 150 collectable cards, letting players customize characters, unlock new content and more.
