"PSP Best Game No One Played
Why It Rocked: It's a crying shame. A travesty, really, because GripShift offers a unique, fast-paced ride that many gamers have totally missed. It's not perfect, sure, but it does a good job of mixing the race, platform and puzzle genres together to create one funky, yet rewarding experience. The game even includes a full-featured track editor that you could literally lose weeks messing around with.
There's just something truly rewarding with creating your own twisted tracks and it's no different in GripShift. Only here, you can make some truly twisted tracks filled with suicidal leaps, loops, volcanoes, teleporters, booster pads and a whole lot more. Plus, the game featured a bunch of weird, yet catchy licensed tunes that you couldn't get out of your head. There's a good chance gamers won't find a title that comes close to this for a long time, either. So please, do yourself a favor and go steal your friend's copy. Or better yet, go buy it. Do it."
