Juiced 2 HOT IMPORT NIGHTS-OK, this game on next-gen consoles is average, but I'm here to tell you on the PSP it rocks!

User Rating: 8 | Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights PSP
Don't make the mistake and think that the PSP is actually a PS3, because it's not. Or for that matter, don't think of it as the equivalent of an Xbox 360 either. Think of it as a hand held gaming device. If you keep that in perspective, then you can see the point of my review. Hot Import Nights is what I want in a racing game. Let me make a list:
1. Rockin' soundtrack 2. Very cool menus 3. Ability to modify the cars to the max 4. Sweet graphics that are bright, colorful and you never get tired of looking at them 5. Alot of great voice work 6. Controllable cars and a control scheme that's simple 7. Load times that are tolerable 8. Plenty of unlockables 9. Getting a genuine feeling of accomplishment and reward for performance 10. A.I. that's not as dumb as a box of rocks 11. Interesting and fun "side" games (driver DNA, race betting, "spook" challenges, etc) 11. Fantastic game presentation and visuals

Actually I could go on. Throw in the fact that there are several hot chicks that play an important role in the overall gameplay and you have a winner. The gameplay itself is just plain FUN. What's not to like? Well, it's just a race game. There are many others out there. Hot Import Nights does not break the mold or discover new ground. But I'm playing a GAME people, and I'm not looking for anything more than a fun time with a game that looks great and tests my skills. The console version of Hot Import Nights may not be up to the standards of most other next gen games, but on the PSP-it's quite the bomb.
