In fact, there aren't any options whatsoever in this game. Oh wait, that isn't quite true...you have the option of watching a couple of movies. One movie is the game credits, which is just a bunch of names scrolling over a black background. The other movie is a short computer-animated film called The ChubbChubbs! Apparently, the film won an Academy Award for best animated short film…in 2002. Sure, it's a cute four-minute flick, but it doesn't add any appeal to the game and certainly doesn't make it worth your $40. With a bit more effort Frantix could have been a decent budget title. At full price, this game just isn't worth playing.

EDIT: Oops.

Hopefully a sequel will have more than just box pushing and gem collecting. If they keep the low load times, gameplay, and tons of levels then the game should be quite good.

We need more games like this.

Wow. It's a budget title? I might pick it up after all.

Actually, I recall it being priced as a budget title in the UK at least.

GripShift and FRANTIX will be available in stores for the 2005 holiday season at a suggested retail price of £19.99.

The regular price for PSP games is £35-40.

I actually thought this looked kind of promising....

By the way, the animated short can be seen in its entirety at IGN, so it's kind of a lame extra.

but it has a jar jar cameo!

....yeah, it's 5 minutes long and not very good.

Shouldn't GS be reviewing Gripshift soon?
