Gran Turismo for the PlayStation Portable is a faithful reproduction of the original PSX game that achieved so much success in the 90's. Although missing online functionality, it's still the best racer you'll find for the platform. A solid title you're...
It’s a stunning game that both looks and plays beautifully. Truckloads of content will get you addicted in no time.
No online multiplayer is excusable, but the lack of leaderboard and ghost support is not.

Gran Turismo for the PSP is at long last liberated from its seeming eternal darkness (the game was formally announced in the first half of this decade), and the overriding criticism thus far focuses on the absence of a career mode. But you know what? C...
Classiest driving physics in the handheld environment; killer visuals; more cars than an LA traffic jam.
Can't damage (or repair) your cars; can't race online, can't compete in championship, season, or career modes.
