    The PSP version seems more forgiving than the PS2 version when it comes to collisions with other drivers.

    The track design, controls and "rhythm racing" focus are all excellent, while the game runs great and looks decent enough to keep you engaged for some time. That is, if you don't fall asleep during the load times.

    The great controls, fun game modes, interesting track design and vehicle mixing make this game a real treat. The really long load times, no major career mode and lack of online play will make fans cry.

    Not only does it throw a lot of racing at you--in various forms and on a bunch of locations--but it captures the spirit of Rainbow's rhythm racing. [May 2006, p.113]

    Aside from those pesky loading times, the game does a very admirable job of translating the console experience to a handheld system.

    Yet another PSP racer, but at least this one is a bit different. Muddy good. [July 2006, p.84]

    It plays well overall (minus the tricky landing controls), looks awesome, sounds great and contains a whopping array of game options, modes and unlockable content to shoot for.

The same copy and paste game we always receive from THQ. Its fun, fast and doesn't take itself seriously, just as it should be. I still think it should be better though.… Full Review »
