14 DAY TRIAL // Sony announced the release of "The Con", an innovative 3D fighting game exclusively for the PSP (PlayStationPortable) system. Developed by Sony Computer Entertainment America and Think & Feel, "The Con" combines the excitement of underground fighting with the intrigue of high-stakes gambling. Players compete in an underworld setting where fighting skills are equally matched by street smarts. During the fight, players can bet for or against themselves to take advantage of the odds and work the Con for the big payoff depending on if they win or lose.
In "The Con", players create and customize their characters by learning and training reprogrammable fighting combinations based on five different brawling disciplines - Street Boxing, Wrestling, Kick Boxing, Tae Kwon Do and Jeet Kune Do.
"With The Con, we have created a fresh new approach to the fighting genre on PSP with a gambling twist," said Susan Nourai, director, online and product marketing, Sony Computer Entertainment America. "The Con lets gamers experience what it's like to be an ex-con fighter in it for the money where the outcome is not based on wins or losses, but rather how much money you make from working the crowd."
