Sega Announces Crush for PSP

SEGA of America and SEGA Europe today announced that Crush, an inventive new puzzle game for the PSP (PlayStation Portable), is currently in development and scheduled for release in Summer 2007. Developed by U.K. based Kuju Brighton, Crush is an exciting new concept which challenges how players traditionally approach games with its intriguing new style of thought-provoking gameplay.

Unique to its genre, Crush introduces a valuable new gaming experience that is wholly suited to the PSP system. Set within a complex, hypnotic 3D world, players will use the game’s unique crush mechanic to “crush” the environment and transform it into a more simplified 2D platformer. Once flattened, players will utilize the 2D space to move to new areas to solve otherwise impossible challenges, and unlock secret items that were previously unobtainable in the 3D environment. Players will then “uncrush” the 2D environment and return to the 3D world.

“Crush introduces a fascinating new gameplay perspective on the PSP that encourages players to stretch their imagination in a whole new way,” said Scott A. Steinberg, Vice President of Marketing, SEGA of America. “The spatial concept of the crushing mechanic is something truly unique that encourages users to think back and forth between 3D and 2D objects and environments to engage different parts of their brain, and see beyond what is literally in front them.”
