This game is great for passing time. But it isnt for the easily frustrated.
The sound in this game is amazing. You can hear the drifts, the crashes, and the music is ok. Also a great thing is that you can go up against anybody with a PSP, even though they dont have a copy of the game. But it should bring a smile to you to take out one of your friends in an intense race and hear them say something like "Son of a ***** cheater!!" :P
