Following MTV Multiplayer’s exclusive, KOEI has officially announced today that it will be bringing Fatal Inertia EX to the PlayStation 3 next month. A revamp of the retail title Fatal Inertia that was released on the Xbox 360 last year, the title will be available exclusively on the PlayStation Network and will cost $29.99. 

New to the PS3 title will be a new environment, the "Fatal Inertia Proving Grounds," which acts as the game’s training environment and will house eight new tracks. Additionally, KOEI have tweaked the flight model for improved handling and even faster speeds than seen on the Xbox 360. The DualShock 3 along with SIXAXIS support has also been added as an optional control method.

The Xbox 360 title received average to abysmal reviews, garnering a truly fatal "1.9" user rating on Metacritic out of 10 reviews. Fatal Inertia EX’s lead designer, Mike Bond thinks they’ve made enough substantial improvements to the game to make it worth PS3 gamer’s while.

"Gamers will be amazed by all the improvements we’ve made," he says, "Fatal Inertia EX is a faster, more visually-captivating experience packed with new content not found in the original."

Well I certainly hope so. I’ve never played the game myself, but a "1.9" user rating?
