Pocket RacersRev up your engines, burn rubber tires, and redefine road rage!!!

Yep, you heard me, this is THE official announcement people, Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. has announced that Pocket Racers, their new racing game for the PSP, will be available this fall.

Vent out your anger for moronic drivers you encounter on the road with Pocket Racers, where you get to drive like crazy for your soul (whereas in the real world you only get to drive for your life,haha).

The game's basic plot: an evil nemesis crashes a party, turns all the guests into tiny cars and makes them all race for their souls... all these he did by using dark sorcery (we can almost hear you say 'oooooh').

The game features a dozen different race tracks with obstacles, drops, umps, twists and turns, you name it. The whole race takes place in 15 indoor environments (all within the house) where you zip through kitchen counters, chair legs, hallways, etc.

Players can choose from 16 colorful vehicles which range from sports cars to four-wheel drive off-roaders. The game will also feature Power Ups (from nitro boosts to homing missiles), Time trials, soul races, and a head-to-head race with the nemesis himself.  And thanks to PSP's wireless option, you have the option of playing with up to four other gamers via the multiplayer mode or go head-to-head with one of your friends in the versus mode.

Can't wait? yeah, neither can we!!

Is it just me or does this remind anyone of the homebrew game Table Top Rally v0.4 by Freshmilk? It does to me...maybe the big game companies are watching the homebrew scene....if only SONY would take a hint.... Thats my take on it, Kaizer_911

What really weird boxart!

Is that a mage or a necromancer overseeing those cars?

Don't know but let's see if the game is better than the cheesy cover.
