Championship Sprint has now hit the PlayStation Network as a downloadable title for the PlayStation 3, though obviously without the wheel. What's left is an extremely simple game that doesn't contain the main draw the title was designed around, leaving it almost entirely pointless. Only a lifeless (and laggy) multiplayer game has been added to the mix, which means there aren't any save points, no ending and again, little to no point.
Yesterday, the Americans could go loose with Super Stardust HD. Today, everybody in Europe can do the same. Super Stardust ain't the only new content in de European store, hit the jump to see the full list.
This is pathetic give me some real games and real demos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Take your super stardust HD and shove it up your ass sony.
Wow, all those demos; I can hardly contain my excitement </sarcasm>
pull your bloody fingers out Sony!
Deep: What makes this a good update? Two trailers you will be able to find anywhere on the net (if not now, in the next couple of days) and two games older than most PS3 owners themselves. This is rubbish.
It's better then what we have been getting. Aka many weeks with no games & just trailers. Its not great but it is getting better.
"two games older than most PS3 owners themselves"
Super Stardust was made in the years 2006-7. Gundum Musou demo is from a game released 2007. There is also a Reistance update with new maps and worldwide servers. Plus new ps1 games. Plus I download from US, UK, and Japan...so I get everything.
My comment stands. This week is much better.
At least your getting something, just shut up!
Go and Buy an Xbox if you unhappy.
<Begin Sarcasm>
Dear Sony
I like your PSN service here in Australia for all the videos cr@p or other wise that you put on the PSN that I could probably find on the Internet. Not only that I am extremely excited about no game Demos and all the mediocre Classic games on the network that you can Download.
PS keep up the good work.
<End Sarcasm>
I have already downloaded Sigma of the US network and Folklore off the Japanese Network, what is taking so long Sony.
There's a FolkSoul demo on the Japanese PSN?! Thanks for the heads up, going to download.
Terrible controls murder what little appeal exists in this archaic arcade driving game.
Anyone else getting sick of these terrible old arcade remakes? Joust, Gauntlet II, and now this...If they would be releasing more ps1 games for download, I would be interested...and even loving Guantlet as a kid at pizza hut, its worth 5 minutes of entertainment...
Mortal Kombat II was/is great...thats the only one I purchased...and Rampage seems to have been messed with visually so its not as bad as the original...but I never bought it anyway...its pretty annoying how in through the meat of the decent game drought, they only offered us these potty floaters...
It's kind of funny, Wii virtual console gets a free ride and gets a "wow, old crappy games are COOOOL!!"
and PS3 when they get some "arcade" online games is all of a sudden crap.
I agreed, they are craps, but if you guys heard the PodCast from N4G, they are right, there are alot of double standard in the industry.
No matter what the PS3 does, it's always trash.
But yes, i agreed, bring more PS1 games instead, but these old games do not "hurt" the network though, we'll just won't buy it, so they'll know not to spend their effort on these craps..anymore..or if they do.. buff up the damn online mode, a LAG???!! in these games are not acceptable..how is it resistance can do this without lag..and these 2D games are lagging? u know what i mean..
Yeah I agree...it is pretty obvious that there is a media fad going on with how much the ps3 sucks...its almost cool to not like it I
I never cared what the media says about it...or how "sony has super failed"...and yeah...it doesn't hurt anything, I just won't buy it...its just frustrating that some tard at Sony thinks that these emulations of old arcade games will draw more people towards the ps3...and in the mean time pissing the owners off that just want an old classic that is much closer to now than something i played when i was 5...I remember it sucked then...and believe it or not it still sucks now...
My point is only that tons of ps1 classics getting slapped on the network every week would keep me a lot more happy with this lack of anything to do phase than some terrible roms of terrible games...
Eric Blattberg takes us back, way back into time. In his most recent VGOA.com review he tells us why arcade games like Championship Sprint for the Playstation Network should have stayed in the arcades 21 years ago.
"Imagine nostalgia being a potent sickness akin to the
flu. Championship Sprint is the worst case possible.
It brings out all the good feelings you had cranking
the wheel in the arcades 20 years ago and infects it,
making all those memories repulsive, to the point
where they will haunt your dreams for nights to come."
What a glowing review, i guess when it's crap it's crap.
Hopefully, the Atari rehashes will no longer make it to the PSN w/ the exception of Food Fight.
heh I wasn't even thinking of downloading this title but thanks for the heads up
Ironman Stewart's Super Off-Road FTW!!!!!!!!
Na u just use mame if u want to play this,lmao.
Same as every other old title.
I used to play super sprint when i was about 16 i think, in the arcade, was a laugh when playing against someone else.
Bombjack was my fav, along long time ago.

there u go/
But mame uses a games rom. Therefore it is no port, it is the real game, thats the beauty of it.
