BlazeRush crashes onto PS3 today

The PlayStation 3 just got on top-down racing combat game richer! Targem Games has officially launched BlazeRush on the PS3 today.

BlazeRush isn't the typical combat racing game, it doesn't have traditional damage counters or health bars. Those simply hold you back from completing the track, in fact, the only way to die in the game is from falling off the track…which is highly likely – considering everyone will be trying to knock you off of the track.

The game comes with sixteen playable vehicles, all of them are different from the next in handling, racing and type. The game was designed with local multiplayers in mind, so you can play with up to three friends on the same console and up to eight players online. BlazeRush will feature three game modes: Race, Survival and King of the Hill. BlazeRush will also feature a  skill based campaign mode, bring three friends on co-op in 53 events and challenges.

Here's a more concise list of BlazeRush's features:

• Multiplayer focused: Up to 4 players locally and up to 8 players online
• Co-op
• Easy ‘drop in and drop out’ player mode
• Take on local players online
• Game modes include Race, Survival and King of the Hill
• Race: Race against bots or with friends over 3 laps; the first driver to cross the finish line unscathed wins
• Survival: Death defying racing against opponents out to eliminate you from the race by any means necessary; the driver who has died the least number of timeswins
• King of the Hill: Race to get ahead of opponents and lead from the front; the player who has held the lead for the most amount of time wins.
