Ford Street Racing: LA Duel vrooms onto the PSP!

Posted Aug 23, 2006 at 9:09AM by QJ Staff Listed in: News, Titles, Previews, Games Tags: Capri, ford, Hollywood, Los Angeles, Thunderbird, XPLOSIV

There's so many racing games on the PSP, it's not even funny. We can't even remotely guess the exact number anymore. Anyway, it's our job to preview upcoming games. The one in question here is Ford Street Racing: LA Duel. Alright, so the name can use a bit of work, but then, it would be the last of our worries if we're making a game. What matters is gameplay and replayability. And the creators can only hope that they have enough of it.

Â“Ford Street Racing: LA Duel on PSP is where it belongs, on the move and on the streets. With Wi-Fi multiplayer and even more performance Ford cars to choose from, this is the ultimate Ford Street Racing experience,Â” commented James Spice, General Manager of Xplosiv, the game's creators. Now that's a big claim, we hope they can fulfill it.

Looking at the name, it's most likely a Ford-only racing game. Now we've always loved Muscle cars, so that's one point. And there's loads of 'em cars, new and old. Here's the complete list:

1962 Thunderbird Sports Roadster Â– EXCLUSIVE to PSP
1968 Mustang GT
1969 Mustang Boss 302
1970 Capri Mk I RS2600
1970 Mustang Boss 429
1971 Mustang Mach 1 Â– EXCLUSIVE to PSP
1973 Escort RS2000
1975 Gran Torino Sport
1985 RS200
1987 Sierra RS500
1992 Escort RS Cosworth
1995 GT90 Concept
2000 SVT Cobra R
2002 Focus RS
2004 Bronco Concept Â– EXCLUSIVE to PSP
2004 Fiesta ST
2004 Mustang GT-R Concept
2004 SVT Lightning
2005 Ford GT
2005 Mustang GT
2005 Shelby GR-1 Concept Â– EXCLUSIVE to PSP
2005 SVT Sport Trac Adrenalin Concept Â– EXCLUSIVE to PSP
2005 Thunderbird Â– EXCLUSIVE to PSP
2007 Shelby GT500

And they got the GT90 concept among that list, one of our favorite cars. Many of you might remember it from Need For Speed 2, about a decade ago...Apart from it, there's a lot of other cool cars in there too.

Now let us run you guys through the features of the game:

24 officially licensed Ford vehicles, 6 exclusive to PSP
Team Racing: Race a team of 2 cars switching between them and issuing commands to gain a positional and tactical advantage.
7 brand new tracks to the PSP making 37 richly detailed tracks based around the streets of Los Angeles.
6 solo and 11 team race game modes.
Wi-Fi Multiplayer Â– Solo and Team Wi-Fi multiplayer action featuring Team race.

The tracks include the Los Angeles River (Downtown), Downtown Railroad, Pacific Parkway (Santa Monica), Venice Riviera (Venice Beach), Hollywood and Sunset Heights (Sunset Boulevard). The team racing looks something like what Need For Speed: Underground Rivals offered. Nonetheless, it will be interesting. The graphics look like staple fare, just like we've come to expect from the rest of the games. The gameplay is where it will have to score big time.
