Exclusive to the PSP, Sonic Rivals 2 was developed by Backbone Entertainment and was supervised by Sega Studio USA.

The game features 8 playable characters from the Sonic universe, with whom you will also be competing against in the games various challenges.

Gameplay The game play in Sonic Rivals is split into two categories-races and battles.

In races you are pit against a member of the sonic universe, rushing as fast as you can to reach the finish line before him.

Each level has multiple paths you can take, varying in how fast they will get you ahead.

Throughout the levels are power ups you can collect, which when activated can help you immensely.

Some of the power ups you can get are things like freezing your opponent in a block of ice, immobilizing them for a few seconds, or becoming surrounded by magnets that cause rings to attract to you.

Using these power ups is one of the many ways you can slow down your rivals so they dont get too far ahead of you.

Another way is by attacking your rival when you are near them, which causes them to fall behind and lose rings.

Opponents can attack you too though, but you can counteract this by pressing a button at the right time.

At the end of each race you are given a letter grade based on how well you did.

There are many factors that go into this score such as rings collected, time beaten, and number of attacks you made during the race.

Battles In battles you must compete against another character to complete a certain objective.

There are 6 different types of battle modes where you compete in an arena, containing numerous power ups and rings that respawn constantly.

A character is knocked out when they are hurt while they have no rings.
