GripShift: The SPOnG Review

I complete agree. I only gave the game a quick half hour, but I was truly smitten. Rehashing Stunt Car Racer would have been the lazy option, so choosing to add an integral puzzle element really does make for quick, easy and extremely addictive one-more-go game.

At last there's another game to add to my "magic three" game threshold; just one more to go - the PSP is looking very tempting.

If I could get a white one, I'd buy one tomorrow (or today, even).

It sounds good, but I've already bought THREE FSCKING RACING GAMES for my PSP - four if you include GTA... which you wouldn't... unless you were a cnut.

All I want is an RPG *weeps*

Aye, but it would be wrong to simply bundle this under the banner "racing game". It really is a different experience than your regular racer.

So... basically Trackmania on the PSP then?

Although GripShift has elements of Trackmania and "racing" games, it real is a game distinct unto itself. Kind of hard to describe, but the "Super Monkey Ball in cars" reference in the review is pretty apt.

If you want to find out more about the game, the official website is at www.gripshiftgame.com which includes a downloadable trailer optimized for playback on PSP.

Its also retailing for less than 20 quid in the UK which makes it pretty good value in my humble (and biased) opinion.
