E3 06: Full Auto reloaded for PS3 sequel

It's barely been two months since Full Auto arrived on the Xbox 360, but Sega has already announced a sequel to the vehicular combat game. Full Auto 2: Battlelines is currently under development, and although Sega hasn't said when the title will be ready for release, gamers with a lead foot and an itchy trigger finger should know that they'll need a new console to play it. Battlelines is being developed exclusively for the PlayStation 3.

Full Auto developer Pseudo Interactive is again handling the duties for the sequel, which promises a number of new features, including fully destructible environments that allow players to blow up parts of the track to strategically block (or crush) other cars or open up new paths through the levels. In addition, Pseudo Interactive is including a new arena mode with team-based multiplayer action, 25 customizable vehicles, and more than 20 different tracks. The single-player game has also been revamped with a new campaign mode featuring multiple paths to victory.

Sega will be showcasing more of Full Auto 2: Battlelines at the Electronic Entertainment Expo next week. Check back with GameSpot soon for more coverage.
