87It's one of the rare times where you should purchase both the console versions and the PSP version since both offer different yet extremely compelling racing.
-
80We're definitely keen on the PSP version, serving up some solid racing fun that'll get your heart pumping and your fingers moving. Just be sure to get by with a little help from your friends.
-
79Own the City is a very different game from the console versions of Need for Speed Carbon, but it's still an exciting racer in its own right.
-
72Sure it still is a fast and furious racing game with a lot to offer but this is stuff we've seen before.
-
A great driving game if you're new to the Need for Speed series, otherwise it's a bit same old, same old. [Christmas 2006, p.95]
-
The classy presentation and slick action capture the spirit of the PS2 game, but this is nothing more than a competent racer. [Christmas 2006, p.100]
-
Technically solid – if increasingly familiar – racing action but set within a dynamic that often feels unnecessarily controlled.
-
70Own the City simply feels like more of the same. Sure, there's an open city and wingmen that'll take out your opponents during a race, but neither of these are huge, game-changing additions.
-
70Own the City has a "if it's not broken, don't fix it" feel. [Jan. 2007, p.86]
-
This is the most fun game in the PSP series purely from a control and competition standpoint, and it's overall a step in the right direction for a series that has been stuck in a major rut. [Jan. 2007, p.92]
-
70Own the City still isn't the best racer on the PSP -- Burnout and Wipeout are both better -- but it's a major step in the right direction for a series that has been stuck in a major rut.
-
70Own the City still has framerate issues and a gameplay engine that hasn't really changed, but it's still a fun game.
-
70The storyline and wingman idea both add a lot to things, but eventually, the racing becomes too repetitive.
-
60The story might be terrible, but somehow it is still better than nothing and the wingman system does work, even if it is a bit odd.
