Pac-Man World Rally announced

Namco has announced its upcoming PSP title Pac-Man World Rally. The kart-style racer will feature Pac-Man and other characters from Namco titles driving through tracks inspired by Namco titles. The game will also feature several multiplayer modes, although it is unknown whether these will be available in infrastructure or ad-hoc modes. Pac-Mac World Rally is expected to ship next summer; pricing and specific release information was not available.

"'Pac-Man World Rally' delivers the most complete kart racing experience yet with incredible speed across outrageous and vibrant courses from well known Namco games," said Jeff Lujan, business director at Namco Hometek Inc. "The refined power sliding mechanics allows for tremendous handling in any situation, while a roster of more than 15 classic characters ensures that every race is memorable for players of all ages."
