    A good arcade racing game which every console needs that arrives in a great moment, as there hasn't been a decent arcade racing game on the PSP in years.

    Split/Second: Velocity is a godd arcade racing game. Inheriting the gameplay mechanics of the chapter directed to the home console, the PSP's version looks good. Certainly it isn't a perfect game: technical glitches make some races more frustrating than it should, but fun is always guaranteed.

    CAR PHYSICS - 6.5 car physics are ok, drifting just feels weird. Collision detection is perfect overall.

    FUN = 5/10
    it feels underwhelming and boring, the destruction doesn't feel intense, the sense of speed is not great, overall it's kinda boring, but it gets more fun once you get better and faster cars.
    ATMOSPHERE - 4
    TRACK DESIGN - 10
    the track design in this game is probably the most impressive I have ever seen
    OVERALL = 6/10
    overall, it just lacks excitement to make the destruction feel intense. other than that, the game is pretty cool, it's not as fun as you might think but it is worth checking out, and the game gets more fun as you progress.

    I've had fun with this version. It kind of ashamed me that this version of the game wasn't really as exciting as the bigger versions were,I've had fun with this version. It kind of ashamed me that this version of the game wasn't really as exciting as the bigger versions were, since there's no camera shakes, no slow motion effects, and basically not a single worthwhile special camera effect of any kind, but it was worth my time.
