M.A.C.H. - 1st Ever Aerial Combat/Racing Game for the PSP System by Sierra Entertainment
Vivendi Games' Sierra Entertainment division has announced the development of M.A.C.H (Modified Air Combat Heros), 
the first flight combat/racing game made exclusively for the Sony Playstation Portable (PSP) system. The game was developed by UK-based Kuju Entertainment, and is expected to ship in North American on Feb. 20, 2007. It is scheduled to be shipped in Europe and Australia shortly after its North American release.
In the game, players will become outlaw pilots as they compete in deadly aerial contests of speed, skill, and weaponry. Options include engaging in multiplayer action against up to eight real-word rivals over an ad hoc wireless network or game sharing mode. Another fun feature of M.A.C.H. is the ability to defeat your rival sand unlock customized parts and planes. There are a total of 180 configurations possible across 11 different planes.
The games prologue gives gamers an exciting taste of what to expect:
In the year 2049, the governments of the world switched to unmanned aircraft for combat in an attempt to save lives. By doing so, they decommissioned thousands of jets and their fighter pilots, ironically destroying the livelihood of those they were trying to save. Years later, these planes appeared on the black market and were sold to the highest bidders. It wasn't long before an underground emerged, featuring ex-fighter pilots, smugglers and wealthy hobbyists piloting the decommissioned aircraft. In a competition of fight and flight, these pilots heavily modify their jet fighters to outrace and outduel the competition to win fame, glory and fortune. Welcome to the world of M.A.C.H.
Key Features:
* Arcade - Arcade mode is designed to throw gamers into the action as
quickly as possible and, although only one plane will be available
initially, progressing through the Career mode to unlock other planes
will gradually give access to the full Arcade experience.
* Career - This mode consists of a collection of high-octane tournaments
spread over various landscapes. As gamers progress through their
career from a Rookie through Pro, Ace, Elite and finally to a combat
Hero, they'll gradually win access to enemies' planes and earn cash,
which will enable players to upgrade capabilities and keep up with the
competition.
* Challenge - Each tier consists of five challenges -- MACH Melee, MACH
Dash, Time Check, MACH LAP and Dog Tag -- in different locations in the
quest for ultimate glory.
* Multiplayer - Players race or dogfight against up to eight opponents
over an Ad hoc wireless network or via Game Sharing with rival PSP
system owners for the ultimate deathmatch experience! (Game sharing
mode requires only one copy of M.A.C.H.)
