Championship Sprint to hit the PlayStation Network today

For those who enjoyed the likes of the classic racing games, here’s a treat. Championship Sprint from Sony Online Entertainment is set to hit the PlayStation Network today.

A brief backgrounder for those who were too young to remember: Championship Sprint is an 80’s classic 2D video game by Midway that features racing viewed from the top down, though unlike the other classics, you can see the entire track and there are shortcuts and power-ups that players can pick up. As you may have probably guessed, the object of the game is to get to the finish line first. You can play against friends through the available multiplayer mode. Leader boards will be available for those looking to get bragging rights.

Anyway, Championship Sprint is set to hit the PlayStation Network sometime today and will retail at the US$ 4.99 (SRP).
