Nice game. You can see clear enough the japanese style (music and clean graphics).

This is not a car simulator. The car handling is not real, for instance if you steer the car in one direction, you start the slide and then you steer in the opposite direction, the car keeps the original opposite - in this sense the game is forgiving. But if you hit the wall it's hard to recover and you loose some speed then you get over passed. The textures are clean (no abundance of details that upsets the eye), car graphics is established by the psp's power of computing (no Anti Aliasing). You have 3 types of cars - according to the drift type (Standard, Mild and Dynamic). Later in the game, choosing the right type of car for a specific track may make the difference between winning and being the first 5. Namco has no licence for the cars or the music in the game, so after you finish some races you will forget those weird names. Loading times are short (10 to 15 sec). The menu is intuitive. Single player is highly addictive, but in multi-player mode you can really see your skills. + clean graphics - the names of the cars and the music (Namco has no licence for any real car name) - and + the forgiving handling physics that helps you drift more easily some times can bee confusing when you hit the wall
