For now, this is the only rally game I've had chance playing with. I am a tad dissapointed from this game, since I traded Ridge Racer for it, but there are alot of other things to look forward to.
Graphics - 5
The main thing that dissapointed me was the graphics, considering that I have played games like RR, WP and Burnout. The graphics remind me like the one on the PS1, but with time you'll get used to them. Many things have been detailed, such as the car damage, the nature and surroundings, etc.
Music - 10
Only 6 tracks! Thats not all, you can only select one track to play and keep repeating itself, either in the menus or in the race, until you manually change it! I don't know what the hell they were trying to prove with this, but it's a big minus.
Sound - 90
Nothing to complain about here, good, nice and solid sound of the engine, co-drivers and effects.
Load times
Great load times, you won't even feel them.
Gameplay - 90
Finally something thats worth in this game. 16 official rally events from around the world (each has 4 tracks), 17 registered drivers and 30 fully deformable cars. I have to say that this game is not easy, you will need alot of practice to progress anywhere. It's a very technical and realistic game. This is perfect for pick up and play moods, you can choose single race, time trial and championships, each race taking no longer than 5 minutes, you have a random select option which makes it alot easier to start the race.
Downloadable content - 90
This is one of the few games that supports downloadable contents from yourpsp.com . This is an option I really looked forward too, it's awesome.
Overall - 80
I recommend you rent this game first, it may not be in everyones taste, but overall, it's pretty good and well done for a portable rally. I have alot of fun playing it. I haven't compared it to Colin Mcrae yet, so I am not sure which is more worthy.

Good. I was like "they can't be that bad...".
Anyway, thanks for the revierw. The overall score that you gave it was 80, but the icon says 85. What happened there?
This is the problem with the PSP. It looks great, but the controls are usually not good, evey game i tried so far have bad controls, even socom, i dont like it.
THIS GAME IS BEST PLAYED USING THE HOOD/BONNET CAM WHILE PLAYING. GRAPHICS LOOK AS GOOD AS PS2 IN THIS CAM MODE. IS IT JUST MY PSP OR DO THE CARS SEEM TO BE VERTICALLY STRETCHED IN REPLAYS? GREAT RALLY GAME NON THE LESS, BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ONLINE GAMING CONNECTION? IT'S DIABOLICAL! I ALSO OWN NEED FOR SPEED MOST WANTED ON PSP AND THEIR ONLINE GAMING IS PERFECT!
