Graphically, the game looks great! From the constant barrage of mud chunks to the realistic sense of speed and hang-time, this is a sharp-looking racer on the PSP. Unfortunately, the sound in this game is mediocre. While the annoying whine of the vehicles is pretty accurate, the crowd noise is sparse and artificial-sounding. Worst of all, the pop-metal that loops in the background is enough to make you want to huck your PSP against a wall.

RATING OUT OF 5
RATING DESCRIPTION
4.0
Graphics
The game looks quite good. The sense of speed and hang time is nicely rendered, and the varied environments are engaging.
2.0
Control
What a struggle! Getting proficient with the multiple modifiers and D-pad inputs is, literally, a real pain.
1.0
Music / Sound FX / Voice Acting
Turn off the sound and play your MP3s instead.
3.3
Play Value
One mode and a paltry multiplayer offering aren't enough. At least the Career mode is substantial.
