Rants, gripes, and tech.

My tattoo of Vash the Stampede from Trigun.

This review would probably be slightly different if I had not already played the console version of this, taking that in mind, I will try to keep this relatively un-biased.

The gameplay itself is great. The cars respond immediately when you press any of the controls.

The sound is top notch, the tires squeal when they should, the music is great, and the engine sounds pretty real.

The graphics ovbiously aren’t as good as they are on the consoles, but they still look great.

As for Negatives, there is no video like there is on the consoles, this can be good or bad. It’s bad bacause the PSP is obviously capable of playing the video fine, but it’s good because the acting and voice is horrible. Also, there is no free roam maps where you can just drive around the city and pick which races. I’m not sure why they would cut this out because the PSP is more than capable of this too as proven on Midnight Club 3.

Over-all i’d give this game an 8 out of 10. It plays well and is very polished, but they shouldn’t have taken out the things that make the console versions so great.

Before anyone gets up in arms about this, let me explain what an agnostic is since many people either don’t know what it means or mistake it for atheistic.
Agnostic:
a. One who believes that it is impossible to know whether there is a God.
b. One who is skeptical about the existence of God but does not profess true atheism.

I fit more into b. I do believe anything is possible in some way, and I do believe God may exist, but until someone finds a way to prove that God does or doesn’t exist with hard evidence.

Now for the boring stuff. The bible starts in Genesis, which pretty-much begins with how the earth was supposedly created. It then states that one man and one woman was created, I don’t believe this to be the case. The reason I don’t believe it happened this way is because there is too much hard evidence that current humans evolved from Australopithecus ramidus. There is also scientific proof that we are still evolving, and some of the possible outcomes may be somewhat disturbing. The only one that comes to mind is the fact that our Y chromosome is shrinking, if this happens then there will someday only be women on the planet. This case has already happened in a breed of lizard, I can’t recall which breed or how they procreate ( they don’t have both sex organs ) but I do recall it can be found in Arizona. Now lets say God does exist, if he did then humans didn’t obviously pop up out of nowhere like they appear to have in the bible. My belief is that if God exists, he didn’t start influencing man until we evolved to a point where we could actually think and not just react based on reflex. Only then could God start to take some control of what path mankind took as a whole. As for the bible, it was written by man, and anything created by man is flawed because no one is perfect and therefore no one can make something that is perfect either. There are several occurrences in the bible that can be easily explained. I’m not going to get into these things because many people so strongly believe what the bible says word for word that no matter how many times I explain it in any amount of detail, even if I go into detailed science, I’m automatically wrong.
I seem to have just developed a writers block (bloody hell) so I’ll just sum this up. I believe God COULD exist, whether he does or doesn’t is unknown to me. As for right now, I believe that Evolution go the ball rolling, and then God may have started working his magic later on.

I know many,MANY people are going to think that I’m totally wrong, but remember, this is based on my opinion, with a little fact thrown in to prove certain points. If you want to comment on this then feel free to, as long as it’s something that has to do with what I said and you use some sort of intelligent argument. If it’s an un-intelligent comment (eg. YOU’RE WRONG! or You’re stupid!) then I will promptly delete your comment.
