    It’s one of the rare times where you should purchase both the console versions and the PSP version since both offer different yet extremely compelling racing.

    Own the City is a very different game from the console versions of Need for Speed Carbon, but it's still an exciting racer in its own right.

I don't think the tires have grip.. youSome people may say this game is good but i'm here to say that the driving physics are very strange. I don't think the tires have grip.. you just slide around.
