This game is a great idea thats not executed very well. It suffers from quite
a few problems that appear to have been addressed in the US release.
Unfortunatly though, we get the Eurporean release over here.
First the controls. You can choose to steer using either the analoge stick or
the D pad. Using the D Pad isnt reallly great for driving type games in my
opinion and when you use the analog stick its way to sensitive and its hard to
control the car very accurately with it.
Also the difficulty balance is all over the place, some levels are rediculously
simple while others will have you just about throwing your PSP against a wall.
This is not helped by the fact that the missions are often multi part and
failing the final part of the mission means that you have to do the 2 or
3 earlier parts over and over again, which becomes very tedious, very fast.
The graphics are not fantastic either, dont let the smooth screenshots fool you,
the games models are actually quite rough around the edges, with very pronounced
jaggies and a framerate that drops to quite stuttery on occasion. I also have
encountered mulitple clipping errors. At more than once point I have been
pushed off the edge of the road by a car, making me fall out of the level.
All in all I was very dissapointed with what looked to be an origional, fun
game that is unpolished and poorly delivered. I would only reccomend buying
this game if you are interested in finding out how far you can stretch your
patience or how much blunt force a PSP can take before it ceases to funtion.
