(More customer reviews)First thing you must know, this game is not a racer. Everyone knows the PSP has enough racers, and this isn't in that category. It has some racing in it, but its so much more. Its been said before, but its a combination racer, platformer, and puzzle game.
The game play is addictive and a lot of fun. Its one of those games where you want to play it for "just a few more minutes" and end up spending hours with it.
The game is broken up between Challenges (puzzle courses), Races, and Mini Games. Challenges are bulk of the game and are a blast (and challenging, go figure). For each Challenge there are 3 tasks, you need to try to get a Gold Medal by beating a set time, collect all the stars, and find the hidden icon. These tracks are increasingly difficult as you progress, but are rewarding when you complete them.
As you progress through the game you have a choice of a large number of cars (that are unlockable) that all have different handling characteristics.
The Mini-games are a blast. Penguin bowling is addictive, Pool is a fun, and there are 4 or 5 other games. All of them are original and fun, including Snake which is a play on Trons bikes.
There is a lot of gameplay and things to do in this game. If you don't want to do Challenges, then try the races (with powerups and weapons), or try the Mini-games. And if you are still looking for something to do included is a robust track editor. You can build and trade tracks with your friends, or other people online. You are limited only by your imagination. I've spent hours designing tracks already. I've had this game less than a week, spent about 15-20 hours with it and have only completed 20%.
Anyways, I stink at writing reviews, i just know this is a fantastic game that everyone should try. I have over a dozen games for the PSP and this one is by far my favorite. The originality and replayability is the biggest selling point for me.
