The single player campaign of the game is made up of a series of varied mini games which can be played in single player mode. Gameplay The game is played by one or more players, local or online, using their controller to hit a football, which is much larger than the cars themselves, into the opposing goal. Each goal gets one point, and whoever has the most points when the timer runs out wins. If both teams are tied when the timer runs out, it goes into sudden death over time mode, where whoever gets a point first wins. The overtime game mode can theoretically last forever. There are also many various mini games and tournaments. Cars New players have only two cars but there are seven vehicles in total, unlocked by finishing mini game challenges or playing on line. According to the developers each car has the same speed, strength and agility. However, as the game relies heavily on physics, the subtle differences in the cars leads them to each behave slightly different. ref http www.psyonix.com forum viewtopic.php?f 2&t 1128&st 0&sk t&sd a&start 20 p23590 ref Updates In addition to lowering the price to USD ... forum Forum http ps3.ign.com articles 897 897486p1.html Supersonic Acrobatic RocketPowered Battle ... stub it Supersonic Acrobatic RocketPowered Battle Cars ... more details
