"Masterpiece"

Alright, so a 7.5 is reason enough to purchase a game in my opinion. The big knock against this game is that there is no career mode... But the game is structured in a way that career mode is unnecessary. Sure the presentation of career mode is gone, but this game essentially has career mode if you know what to look for.

The graphics are unbelievable. For a PSP game, this game looks fabulous. From the dust clouds, to the car models themselves this is easily one of the best looking PSP racing games out there...along with MotorStorm Arctic Edge.

The great Gran Turismo gameplay is here and finely tuned for each turn, brake, and drift. Not lying when I say this game is just hard to put down because of the fun-factor.

The sound, again, is great. The menu offers nice and relaxing music like any other GT game. Each car 's sound effect, the music...Everything that you hear, especially with microphones, is great.

The game is damn good. Not sure why this AND MotorStorm got such horrible reviews, but for portable games, these two are comparable to their bigger console counterparts. If I did not own a PSP, I would easily consider this and MotorStorm as legitimate reasons to do so.
