So we got sent a copy of GTI Club+ from Konami the other day, and, seeing as Sumo Digital’s name is attached to the thing – they’re developing it – we couldn’t wait to install it (sigh) onto our PS3 and take the game for a spin.

We are happy to report that the game is shaping up very nicely indeed (returning to Corte D’Azure, darting through the streets in our Mini Cooper and taking in the beautifully clement surroundings took us right back to 1996 again). 

Boasting enchanced sound and visuals, a neat mirror-mode (which we discovered when we raced on the Hard difficulty setting), online leaderboards and the coin-op’s brilliant Bomb-Tag mode, Sumo certainly seem to be conjuring up the same level of magic they demonstrated on Outrun. And with news that Konami are planning to expand the game, via regular downloads, it looks like GTI-Club+ will be an essential purchase for Playstation owners when it arrives this November on PSN.

Now if the team can only resuscitate Scud Race, I’d be a very happy man indeed.
