A re-mixed version of GripShift speeds onto Xbox Live Arcade with a complete set of upgrades and new features. In this definitive version of the game, players will enjoy improved controls, enhanced HD graphics, additional single player courses and intense, friend-fragging Deathmatch arena battles. A full set of achievements and TrueSkill Leaderboards give Xbox 360 players even more of a reason to jump, blast and speed their way past the competition to become the true GripShift guru.

Players will race as one of six unique characters in supped-up, customizable vehicles as they stunt their way through insane twisting levels while collecting power-ups, avoiding traps, beating the clock and challenging friends. With unlockable racing circuits, bonus games and the ability to create custom tracks with the in-game Track Editor and share them with other players, GripShift offers an original and compelling gameplay experience.
