    You can do all that fancy car customization in the GBA version too, and the racing action is quite good too, just like it is on the GameCube.

    This game makes for a great purchase both as a solid racer and as a tech demo.

    A definitive version of Need For Speed Lite; fewer upgrade calories and less fatty visuals to chew on. What the game picks up on, though, is a key element of racing fun, with its unpretentious (if a bit ambitious) presentation of a glamorous racing sub-culture that fits in the palm of your hand.

    This weird ass-end swing out makes circuit racing all but impossible until you re-learn the concepts of physics, weight distribution, and even gravity. [Feb 2005, p.125]
