SWAT: Target Liberty Protects and Serves the Streets of New York City In an All New PlayStation Portable System Exclusive

We previewed this one way back when. Now, Sierra Entertainment, a division of Vivendi Games, has announced that SWAT: Target Liberty, a 3rd person tactical shooter game, shipped to stores nationwide. Developed by 3G Studios, the new SWAT: Target Liberty game makes its handheld debut exclusively on the PSP (PlayStationPortable) system.

The SWAT: Target Liberty game is set in New York City where an elite special weapons and tactics team is tasked with thwarting an ever increasing number of international terrorist threats. Each officer in the unit has a specialty and using a unique skill system, the player can upgrade their individual combat expertise to increase their chances of success. The game will also feature an ad-hoc multiplayer system which allows gamers to play in a variety of game modes called Football, Rodeo Round-up and The Great Escape.

Developed in consultation with 29-year Los Angeles SWAT veteran Ken Thatcher and penned by acclaimed script writer Scott Rosenbaum (The Shield), the SWAT: Target Liberty game provides an authentic, real-life experience where the standing operating procedure is to think before you react.

"The SWAT: Target Liberty videogame is part of an award-winning lineage that includes an IGN Editors' Choice Award on PC and we are excited to bring the game to handheld where PSP system gamers can enjoy the intense action of this popular franchise," said Pascal Brochier, president, Global Retail for Vivendi Games.
