Summary: Great Launch Title

Reviewed by cacophony

This is my first PSP game and I'm am impressed. The graphics looks awsome on the PSP's screen. The World Tour is short but you will probably want to play it over again. There are not to many cars and none of them are licensed

This game is mainly about the drifting, which has great physics. As you power slide around the course, you earn turbo which you can use as a nice boost. I didn't like the fact that you can't stop the turbo when you hit R though. Also, I didn't like that you have to start out in 12th place, and pass everyone up within three laps. The number 1 racer is usually 20-25 seconds ahead of you from the start. So, in some of the races when you need to get 1st place, you will need to drive FLAWLESSLY if you want to win. One screw up and you've most likely lost.

The A.I. won't really do anything to stop you until you're in about 5th place. Tthen they will cut you off. The tracks are beautiful. The trees and other environments look great when you are driving by them. Also, the crowds are nice. Sound is excellent too. There are several different mixes you can listen to as your race, including song remixes from the old Ridge Racers. I have yet to get online working but I'm sure its good.

This is an excellent racing and launch title. Definately check this out, but it is very challenging.
