  1. It's a staggering amount of content to chew through, helped by a simple presentation and controls that feel dead on -- d-pad or analog nub -- and a fantastic way to overcome the PSP's digital buttons.

    Though it's really the only option currently for simulation racing on the PSP, Race Driver 2006 is great game regardless of whatever amount of racers it's stacked up against and anyone who likes games in the vein of Gran Turismo would do well to pick it up.
  3. Diehard gearheads out there who really like to tinker with a vehicles set-up might be a little disappointed with inability to do so in the Career or Trans World Mode. However, that being said, with great graphics, good sound and some very engaging gameplay (multiplayer included) one cannot go wrong with this racing title.
  4. The variety will give you motivated to keep playing.
