RafaelC.Sep 30, 2005This game is OVERATED! its a good racing game, but there are better RGs on the PSP, Wipeout, for example, and better Overall Games, Lumines for another example. So stop calling it the best PSP game, cause its not true.

ChrisMar 6, 2005While it has an excellent sound track (American Artists), NFS disappointed me in the graphic sense....Ridge Racer has smoother better looking graphics (review 4 Japanese version)

May 25, 2023Good car selection, tuning, handling and graphics. Amazing soundtrack because it‘s from NFSU2. But the progressing is very strange and the game is way too long if you consider to win all the races. It needed more content in terms of cars and track or at least less races but as it is the progressing is not good.

Overall, the graphics in Rivals do justice to the Underground faceplate. All of the signature visual touches are present, including the dark settings, the lighting effects, the blurring, the flaring, and so on. Likewise, the sense of speed is exhilarating.

It gets rid of the overblown, big-city atmosphere of the recent console release and puts the focus on getting into races--the best part of the series--very quickly.
