Gran Turismo (PSP) review for Joystiq
I've got another review up over at Joystiq for Gran Turismo PSP. Here's an excerpt:
Gran Turismo PSP is one step forward and two steps back. It progresses the series by being a viable pick-up-and-go diehard sim racing title for the PSP -- something nobody has seen before -- and brings the graphical and gameplay polish of home consoles to the portable space, but it goes far backwards on the very fundamentals that made it such a beloved series in the first place. There's no career mode, and a lot of the content here doesn't sustain itself easily -- almost everything is unlocked from the get-go and there's no real incentive to play other than feeding that inner hoarder. It's a good effort, but Gran Turismo fans looking for an experience comparable to its console brethren won't find it here.
