[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.psp411.com\/show\/review\/1291\">PSP 411 review<\/a>] Despite its bizarre name (I never played the earlier versions) this is by far and away the coolest driving game (and game period) for the PSP by far. Despite it&#8217;s nefarious, painfully long load times the game is just amazing. It&#8217;s one of the only games that I haven&#8217;t lost interest in after a few hours. Oh, and <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.psp411.com\/show\/review\/1737\">Coded Arms<\/a><\/strong> is the worst. I played it for all of about 5 minuets before I gave up. The controls are insane. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.psp411.com\/show\/review\/1544\">Dead to Rights<\/a> is ok, but a bit boring after a while.<\/p>\n<p>The PSP firmware update did nothing for me. So it has a browser- which is abysmally slow. Why do I need it? I don&#8217;t. I never use the PSP &#8216;cept for games. Maybe it will decrease loading time for Midnight Club&#8230; Still waiting for GTA, but who isn&#8217;t?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got one of these handles for my PSP.
