It’s Official: Sonic Rivals 2 Headed to PSP This Fall…

Sonic Rivals became one of my favorite PSP games, despite mixed reviews and slightly mediocre frame-rates and loading times. SEGA is looking to approve on the downfalls of the first game with Sonic Rivals 2, the sequel to the game; SEGA officially announced its existence today, despite a leaked confirmation weeks ago. A new “jostling” gameplay to keep the competition tighter and a slew of new characters should freshen up the original–which proved only to be a “testing ground” for the eager Sonic to make his way to the PSP. At the same time, Rivals 2 won’t rid itself of the trading card collections; rather it will re-emphasize it. They will introduce up to 150 new customizable cards. There’s word that multiplayer will be improved (including game sharing), but none on whether SEGA will be daring enough to introduce online multiplayer to the sequel. It will arrive to the PSP this fall. Can’t wait!
