List of PSP Games That Have Game Sharing

The Sony PSP may boast similar hardware capabilities to the company's PlayStation 2 console, but because of the system's small screen and single control pad, only one player can play the PSP at any one time. One way that programmers overcome this limitation is through game sharing. On certain games, it's possible for players who own the game to upload a portion of the data to a second PSP for a limited time, allowing multiplayer gaming.

Bomberman
- The long-running "Bomberman" series has always thrived on its strength as a multiplayer title. The games have a single-player adventure component, but nobody buys a "Bomberman" title without the intention of playing the game's frenetic mult-player mode against friends and rivals. All three "Bomberman" titles available for the PSP ("Bomberman," "Bomberman Land" and "Bomberman Panic Bomber") allow game sharing for two to four players.
Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded
- Collecting 20 different titles from the history of Japanese publisher Capcom, "Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded" includes several games--notably, "The King of Dragons," "Knights of the Round" and three different versions of "Street Fighter II"--whose original arcade success hinged heavily on their two-player component. For this reason, the game supports multiplayer game sharing when appropriate to the original game. It's also possible to use game sharing to send bite-size demo versions of retro Capcom titles to fellow PSP players.
Juiced: Eliminator
- Drawing heavily on "The Fast and the Furious" movies, "Juiced: Eliminator" takes place in a world of underground street racing. The game supports game sharing for two to six players within certain racing modes: Multiplayer Elimination races have you fighting to run your fellow drivers out of the race, and Relay races allow players to work as a team in a relay race. These can only be played via game sharing or wireless play with other owners of the game; they're not accessible during online play.
Tekken: Dark Resurrection
- As a one-on-one fighting title, the "Tekken" series owes a large part of its success to the ability to provide human players with other human opponents. While the games' stories form a large part of their appeal, the lasting appeal of "Tekken" games is in player-versus-player combat. For this reason, the games' makers, Namco, made sure to make the two-player component of "Tekken: Dark Resurrection" accessible for game-sharing play. Players without a copy of the game can face off against owners using any characters unlocked by the owner of the game.
World Snooker Challenge 2007
- While single-player "World Snooker Challenge 2007" gamers are able to face off against a succession of opponents from around the world in the game of snooker, the disc's game-sharing function can be used to share a two-man game of the sport whenever a real table isn't available.
