GripShift HD combines high-flying stunt driving with unique puzzle-solving action in an all-out, pedal-to-the-metal racing experience, optimized for the PS3 (720p, 60fps). SOE has released a free update on the PlayStation Network that decreases load times, improves the leaderboards, and adds a few new features to increase playability.

GripShift features totally enhanced HD graphics, refined gameplay and four player online multiplayer. Choose between six different vehicles in this hybrid stunt-driving, platform-action driving experience. Enjoy either single-player racing action or online multiplayer gameplay with up to three of your friends in head-to-head action. Totally re-mixed for the PS3 and available for purchase through the PlayStation Network, GripShift is a ‘must have’ game for your PS3 digital library.
