Summary: 2 Stars
fity bucks for a ps2 game? i have a ds whick came with a FREE mario 64 ds which is like the n64 one but twice as long with different caracters batter graphics and only costs 30$!!!! over all, psp has the bells and whistles, but upon closer inspection, they are all expensive and the games are sub-par to the ds or even the ps2 and gamecube. don't waste you money, pass by the psp and go for the ds and better games.Customer Review: Best Racing Game Ever!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've never been a fan of racing games. I've played both Gran Turismo and Project Gotham Racing. Many racing game fans say that Gran Turismo is the best game out there. In my opinion, Gran Turismo is crap when compared with this game. This is one of the first two games I recieved with my PSP. I love the fact that its portable.
Graphics: For a handheld system, the graphics in this game are outstanding. Even if this hadn't been on a handheld, I don't believe there would have been many complaints.
Gameplay: Extremely easy to learn the controls, even for someone whos hasn't touched a PlayStation or PlayStation2 in years. It is also very addictive. I can't stop playing it. You just want to unlock everything as fast as you can. It does get repetitive after a while, but that doesn't bother me. Its always fun to race on a course you know. I don't know if this game has any replay value although if it does, I can't imagine it being great because you will have unlocked everything already.
Sound: The soundtrack for this game is one of the best I have ever heard. Its got a little bit of everything for all tastes, without being to extreme in any one direction. I really enjoy cranking up the volume (which gets very loud on the PSP)to hear the music. The sound effects are also very good. When you change gears, you hear the car change gears. When you hit the breaks and slide, you hear it. When you crash and want to restart the race because your -15 seconds of the lead, you hear it.
All in all I give this game 5/5 for its excellent performance on a portable system.
Customer Review: This game is an over all bad design.

I loved this this game for about the first 5 days but then a relized it was the same thing over and over.
First of all everyone says the graphics are here are so good, they are good for a regular handheld game system, if you want good PSP graphics check out Ridge Racer. I seen those graphics and thats what I thought I would get but it wasn't even close.
Secondly, the races are the same let me show you. there are 2 types of of racing sessions. I will first show Circuit Race, it has 4 levels novice, Pro, Master, Car spec. Inside that it has circuit, lap knockout and Rally Relay. Then inside that you have 4 stages. Inside each stage you have 3 races, which is the same race just slightly harder. You Have to go through all this 4 times.
(Race 1 2 3, Are all the same three races just slightly harder)
Novice-
Circuit
Stage1-Race 1 2 3 --- Stage2-Race 1 2 3 --- Stage3-Race 1 2 3 --- Stage4-Race 1 2 3
Lap knockout-
Stage1-Race 1 2 3 --- Stage2-Race 1 2 3 --- Stage3-Race 1 2 3 --- Stage4-Race 1 2 3
Rally relay_
Stage1-Race 1 2 3 --- stage2-Race 1 2 3 --- Stage3-Race 1 2 3 --- Stage4-Race 1 2 3
Types of races:
Circuit: is a regular standard race
Lap Knockout: Who is in last place after evrey lap looses
Rellay rally: Requires 2 cars do one lap in one car then you have to "park" your car at the lap mark and switch cars to the other for the second lap.
Quick play battle:
consists of street cross, Drift attack, nitrous run, Drag.
Still uses THE SAME PATTERN AS CIRCUIT RACE BUT THE STAGES GO UP TO 10, NOT 4 (adds even more monotonous to the game).
Street cross: Regular race but your on a race course
Drift Attack: You have to drift your car are designated turns are poles.
Nitrous run: you receice Nos at every checkpoint you go through and try to to get as many checkpoints as possible in the aloted time.
Drag: standard drag race.
The gameplay is average at best and constantly doing the same race over gets boring fast. Also the game tends to cheat when ever your in the lead. For instance while going over jumps your car will spontaneously turn to the side causing you to crash, or your car will flip for no reason in the air, when of land the car will just keep going straight causing you to crash, or your car will bottom out when you hit causing your car to flip, also I have had it when I land my car will just stop and start to flash. The game will put cars just over a hill where you can't see them and when you go over you run right into them.
With monotonous races, horrible "freak" accidents, and borderline graphics this is not the game you want. With a price tag of $50 I can't beleive I bought it. Sugestion go with Ridge Racer, MUCH better grphics, better gameplay, and only $40.
