September 16^th, 2005 (5:02pm) - Sony Online Entertainment’s Platform Publishing, a cross-platform publishing, distribution and marketing label, invites you to get behind the wheel of exciting stunt driving as GripShift arrives now in stores. Available for the PSP, GripShift is the first to combine high-flying stunt-driving and puzzle solving all to the beat of hip hop sounds from down under.

Developed by Sidhe Interactive and co-published by Red Mile Entertainment, players in GripShift will race as one of six unique characters in suped-up vehicles as they stunt their way through insane twisting levels while collecting power-ups, avoiding traps, beating the clock and challenging friends.

Featuring enhanced aerial physics with an intuitive control system, players will perform awesome aerial jumps for massive hang time in puzzle-like driving challenges with multiple routes, short-cuts, loops, jumps and power ups. Compete in single-player race mode against the CPU, or enjoy the action with your friends in head-to-head wireless multiplayer mode. Create and design custom levels to share with your friends, or play one of the eight bonus games for outrageous fun. It’s an original break-thru combination of stunt driving, platform action and puzzle solving, designed exclusively for the PSP system.

GripShift is rated E for Everyone (with Comic Mischief) by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board, and has a suggested retail price of $39.99.
