PSP Need for Speed: Underground Rivals review:4 stars (Racing- Same Old) - I love racing but it gets old, Twisted Metal Head On is outside of the box and so is Wipeout Pure. But it's fun2 stars (fity bucks for this? ) - 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.5 stars (Best Racing Game Ever!!!) - 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.
