Need For Speed Underground Rivals

Rivals doesn't appear to be exactly like its console counterparts, though -- in the version at TGS, the controls felt a lot looser than in either of the console Underground games.

"If you haven't played the likes of WipEout Pure or Ridge Racer on the PSP, then maybe the nub of the issue won't be an issue at all. Translation: maybe the shoddy controls won't even bother you. Alternatively, if you're willing to use the d-pad, Rivals is a decent game that has an interesting mix of car customisation, skill-based driving and reasonable speed. If you can look past the jaggy car models and now traditional EA Trax music selection, it might be the ideal travelling companion for fans of the series."
