Konami revs up Genki's street-based multi-player racer for a European launch
Konami Digital Entertainment has confirmed it will release Street
Supremacy, a street racing game, developed by Genki specifically for
PSP towards the end of September.
Street
Supremacy is a high-octane racing game featuring a wealth of licensed
vehicles. The single player “Team Battle' mode sees the player joining
a team and competing against rival teams for control over the 15 areas
of Tokyo. In two-player mode the player selects one of their customized
vehicles and races against the second player via Ad-Hoc Wi-Fi in a
one-on-one battle.
Street Supremacy's “Team Battle' mode takes
place in the 15 areas of the city with teams vying to dominate the game
map. The battles are split into single duels between individual racers
and Five-against-Five Team Battles for control of that area. Players
can choose who to race, cherry-picking their rivals from the player
roster as they try to seize territory from them. The “Team Battle' also
encourages competition within each team, as winners are upgraded in
their team ranking and can eventually challenge to be team leader.
In
addition to Street Supremacy's stunning racing action, the PSP game's
cars can also be modified to add an edge to the duels. The game's
authentically modeled Nissans, Mitsubishis, Subarus, Toyotas and Mazdas
can all be enhanced with new exhausts, paint jobs and body-kits. These
all prove vital in shaving seconds off the lap times, while vinyls and
fancy lights can also be used to enhance the cars aesthetics, adding a
layer of gloss to an already entertaining racer.
