Summary: Another hit from Codemasters

Ive spent many hours playing the PC version, the PSP version definetly finishes first!

Just as in the PC version the PSP cars all act like they should. The controls turned out really well. But I still cant drive well with the nub unless my race strategy is to find all the walls I can.

Graphics are on par with a PC game scaled down to a handheld. I fired up both the PC and PSP games at the same time and they did brought the goods big time.

My only 2 probs are really not game probs but platform probs. No wheel (anyone up for an RC controler wheel hack?) The go fast button. Its all or nutin. The slow rev up helps a bit but I still drop positions like crazy at the start of the races.

The only other prob I have is with all the games. I'd love to see more after the wreck. When you crash you can hear the AI pile up behind you but you don't get to see it from in the car or in a replay. Also, i'd love to have the option to limp to the pits even on three wheels.

This is definetly one of the best racing games for the PSP! Way to go Codemasters. Took my money again and I don't have a prob with it. On a side note, CM has very good customer support when you have probs.

don't listen to adanoo, this game is NOTHING like Burnout.

Burnout is an Arcade style racer.

Race Driver 2006 is a Simulation style racer. And an amazing one at that.
