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.
