One of the new gameplay elements include a new nitrous system which allows you store 3 tanks throughout the duration of the race by drifting around corners. The addition of the nitrous is a cool new feature however don't try to constantly get nitrous all the time though or you might lose control.

This game has solid controls for every different type of car you may control. Your able to either use the D-Pad or Analog Nub for steering. Also drifting will be second nature after a few races, so you'll be storing up nitrous pretty quickly.

RR features has some great sound effects. The cars have realistic sound effects which are always crisp and clear. Also the BGM features different playlists of new tracks as well as tracks from previous RR games of the series.

The graphics on this game are very impressive. The cars shine and shimmer even at high speeds. There is also a blur effect once you initiate the nitrous.

There are plenty of tournaments to race through. However all of this racing isn't for nothing. There are plenty of cars and movies to unlock. Ultimately this is a great racing game that should be a part of your PSP collection.
