Best NFS game, yet. EA has out-done themselves
3 of 7 found this helpful Wow totally blown away by this game. This has to be the best EA has put out yet in the NFS series. Great police chases, good story line, and beautiful cars. This game is worth every penny. Good job EA for putting so much work into this game. Totally recommend to anyone who likes driving games, or who liked all the previous Need for Speed games.

Greatest PSP game so far - GTA fans pick this one up!
5 of 10 found this helpful Easily the greatest game to come out for the PSP so far. The game uses GTA3's map and city but is a prequel with totally different missions and a few subtle changes to the cars and city. I'm amazed at the amount of detail that Rockstar was able to include in the game. If you buy it expecting a handheld version of GTA3 then you will not be disappointed. In my opinion the graphics, game play, and controls are virtually identical to GTA3 on the PS2. I've read some people complain about load times, but I have to think those people haven't actually played the game yet as the load times are only between missions and cut scenes and are much, much shorter than the load times on any of the PS2 GTA games. My only real complaint is the lack of licensed music. Rockstar included more music than I expected (similar to the amount and types that were in GTA3) but they didn't go to the trouble of licensing popular music like they did in Vice City and San Andreas. That's a minor complaint though and this is far and away the best handheld game ever made. If you're a fan of the GTA series and own a PSP, this game is a 'must own'.
