Shopping Cart Hero 2 is unfortunately not a new PlayStation game with a shopping cart as a controller. Fortunately, it is one of the most addictive time wasters I've ever seen. The goal is to jump a shopping cart as high and as far as you can, while pulling off stunts for maximum bonus points. Gameplay would be kind of repetitive, but there are cart upgrades and add-ons that keep you playing.
Basic gameplay includes trying to hop into your cart as close as possible to the "get in" sign, and then timing your jumps as you hit the ramp. You can get $1000 in bonus points if you do this perfectly, and that's a huge help early on, when you're saving up for basic wheel upgrades and rockets. I did a couple hundred jumps without the game ending, so I can only assume it goes on forever, but hitting perfects and staying upright will earn you the elusive Golden Cart upgrade in far fewer jumps.
As far as stunts, you can pick up some cheap ones (like jumping out of the cart or doing a Superman) early on, but the more expensive stunts (a pole vault with a baseball bat? Sweet!) are going to cost you. High scores are based on your best individual run, and you can't compete without all the upgrades, which is what kept me glued to the game for a couple of hours. There's also an iPhone version that costs a buck and features even more upgrades.
