Description

The Con, an innovative 3D fighting game exclusively for the PlayStation® Portable entertainment system. In an underworld where illegal fighting tournaments exist and high-stakes gambling takes center stage, your skills as a fighter are matched only by your wits as an ex-con. Create and customize your own character with deep character customization features including “Image Import,” allowing you to upload your photo directly(via Memory Stick) to the PlayStation Portable and put your face onto your in-game character. Learn reprogrammable fighting combinations based on five different brawling disciplines - Boxing, Wrestling, Kick Boxing, Tae Kwon Do and Jeet Kune Do. Train your fighter to fight solo or in a team of three in Story Mode where your ability to build up your team and implementing match-up strategy plays a huge role. In addition, utilizing Ad Hoc mode that enables wireless gaming, The Con allows players to compete in various head-to-head fighting matches.

Finally, every fight is more than just a fight with the element of underground gambling. Bet for or against yourself to take advantage of the current odds. During the fight, throw ‘fake’ punches or take a dive to tilt the odds and con everyone to ensure a wealthy pay off – win or lose. How you work the CON is up to you.

Features

In The Con, players have access to a variety of wireless features, utilizing ad-hoc mode that include both "game-sharing" and head-to-head fighting matches. During "game-sharing," players have the ability to fight each other via ad-hoc mode with players that don't have the UMD disc to participate in a head-to-head wireless match. Additionally, via ad-hoc mode with one other player, players can compete in various head-to-head fighting matches, as well as raise the stakes by placing unlocked items on the line.
