'LA Rush' was first released on the PlayStation 2 and was one of the most intense, exciting racing games on the console at the time. 'LA Rush: Showdown' is the latest offering, and is an all out, speed-fest for your PSP.

The groundbreaking story mode of 'LA Rush: Showdown' has players take on the role of Trikz, a street racer from Los Angeles at the top of his game who arrives home from vacation to discover all of his rides have been stolen by his chief rival, Lidell Rey. The game includes vocal performances from actor/comedian Orlando Jones (Drumline, Evolution, The Replacements) in the role of Trikz's partner, Ty Malix. Lending their voice and likeness to the game's cast are Ryan, Mad Mike, Q, Big Dane, Ish and Alex from West Coast Customs Inc., and platinum-selling rapper Twista who appears as the world's fastest man brought to Los Angeles as a driver for Lidell Rey.

Players will be able to crank up the volume on a decibel-pumping soundtrack that contains more than 75 songs from over 25 artists including Lil Kim and DJ Rap, two unreleased tracks by Twista, four original songs by Damian Valentine and more. In 'LA Rush: Showdown', players will be able to jump into some of the hottest rides on the streets from old-school hot rods to turbo imports from top auto manufacturers. After the crew at West Coast Customs is done pimpin' it, it won't matter who pulls up to the light.

Once players select their whip, they can get it juiced up with all of the latest gear from the top after-market part manufactures in the world. LA RUSH will include the following and more: Dayton Wire Wheels; Extreme Dimensions; Carbon Creations; Nitrous Express.
