SOE Reveals Two Games for PSP
Company: Sony Online Entertainment
Product: GripShift & Frantix
Sony Online Entertainment says it will distribute two new titles for the PlayStation Portable: GripShift and Frantix. Developed from the ground-up specifically for the PSP, GripShift and Frantix are scheduled to be available Fall 2005.

?We are pleased to bring two original and exciting titles produced by some very talented developers to fans of the PSP system,? said Chris Sturr, Senior Brand Manager, Sony Online Entertainment. ?GripShift is an original break-through combination of stunt driving, platform and puzzle action that is sure to thrill, while Frantix will put even the most skilled puzzle-solver to the test with action that is easy to pick-up, but hard to put down. Both titles will offer compelling gameplay experiences that will appeal to casual and hardcore gamers alike.?


GripShift is one of the first video games for the PSP to combine high-flying stunt driving and unique puzzle-solving action in an all-out, pedal-to-the-metal racing experience. Players race as one of six unique characters in supped-up, customizable vehicles as they stunt their way through insane twisting levels while collecting power-ups, avoiding traps, beating the clock, and challenging friends. Featuring more than 100 levels of puzzle-like challenges in fun, vibrant environments, and additional bonus games, players can race solo or with up to three other players via the PSP?s built-in wireless feature.

With unlockable racing circuits, bonus games, and the ability to create custom tracks with the in-game Track Editor and share them wirelessly with other players, GripShift offers an original and compelling gameplay experience for the PSP. GripShift is being developed by Sidhe Interactive and co-published by Red Mile Entertainment.


Frantix is one of the first character-based, 3D puzzle-solving adventures for the PSP. Developed by Killer Game, Frantix offers frenzied puzzle-solving action, beautiful 3D graphics, more than 150 challenging levels for players to enjoy, power pick-ups, and a diverse array of monsters and unique obstacles. The game features quick-paced action, surreal environments and challenging levels with deadly traps and dangerous hazards for an extremely fun and captivating gameplay experience.
