Majesco Entertainment, having undergo a kind of revival with the success of Cooking Mama on the DS, is now on a roll with many other casual yet relatively successful titles on both the Wii and DS. Their latest offering would be Powerbike for the DS - a game which is best described as an intense motorcycle racer where you will be involved in many death-defying stunts, intense police chases as well as competitive multiplayer modes - well I might agree with the first two, but the third is really as competitive as your human rivals. Put the game in the wrong hands and it becomes a virtual walkover.

The perilous world of street racing is about to get a whole lot more exciting with the release of Powerbike! When an anonymous sponsor offers the resources to compete with the best street racers in the world, the only thing left to do is jump on your bike and show everyone who is boss. Speed through dangerous streets and jump trains, bridges and traffic congestion while fleeing from the cops on eight challenging courses across the desert, city, shipyard and more. Riders can earn even more cash by performing jumps, burnouts, wheelies and drifts in Stunt Mode. Go head-to-head with friends via local DS multiplayer in both Race and Stunt Mode, and use your hard earned cash to upgrade your bike’s speed, acceleration, traction and stability in three different difficulty modes.

No idea on pricing, but it shouldn’t break the $30 barrier. Powerbike for the DS will be out before the holiday season.
