Asphalt: Urban GT2 coming to PSPs by March 16

The last time that we heard anything about this game was a couple of weeks ago when rumors started flying, stating that Asphalt: Urban GT 2 for the PSP had been cancelled.

Well, it’s time for those doubting Thomases out there to stop, as Ubisoft and Gameloft have now made it completely clear that all systems are GO for this racing game. In fact, they stated in their latest press release the date that fans will have to look out for: March 16, 2007 – that is, if you happen to be in Europe. US players will have to wait until May.

A port of the DS game of the same title, Asphalt: Urgan GT 2 still promises to deliver to PSP owners the same game quality which has made it successful on the DS. Also, just like the DS version, the port will feature 44 licensed vehicles (Ducatis and Lamborghinis included), and 28 tracks which were inspired by real locations. The ability to customize your ride is, of course, present, and this is key if you want to successfully go through the 10 gameplay modes and 62 championships which the game has to offer.

Also, you’ll never have to play alone, as the title supports up to four players on ad hoc mode. There, you can try to outrace your opponents in either Single, Championship, or Cop Chase modes.

Oh, and let’s not forget that the Pussycat Dolls “will show up frequently to encourage the player,” while music from Moby plays in the background.
