GripShift is a racing video game developed by Sidhe for the PlayStation Portable. It was released in 2005 by Platform Publishing[2] in North America and Ubisoft in PAL territories. The game was later released to download on PlayStation 3 in 2007 via the PlayStation Store (and is no longer available to purchase since 2014), and for the Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Arcade. GripShift is a cross between a puzzle-platform game like Super Monkey Ball and a driving game like Stunt Car Racer.[3]
