most racing simulator reviews sound eerily similar; "supercharged gameplay" or "feel the crunching of metal!" and before I purchased this, thats exactly what I read as well. Race Driver 2006 for the PSP is, hands down, the BEST racing sim on the handheld today. That may be due to the fact its the ONLY sim racer on the system. Ridge Racer and Burnout give you plenty of arcade fun drifting, but RD06 goes that step further. The only problem though, is the fact that I've already played this game...on XBox. It is a direct, scene for scene and race for race port of ToCa Race Driver 2. Which is on one hand, great because that is such an overlooked racing sim in the shadow of Gran Turismo. On the other hand, I wanted something a little newer. New Tracks etc and a new playing mode fill in that gap. This game looks stunning, as all the ToCa series have.
My only real complaint is the controls. super simplified though they are, all the cars tend to glide a lot more than on the XBox version. which can get very frustrating on laguna seca. precision controls on a handheld gaming system are by default nearly impossible, but this game is really worth the effort. I gave it a 4 for fun, not because it didnt earn a 5, but because i get frustrated by controls very easily. and overall 4 because, as i said, we've seen it all before.
All around driver

A great game if you are looking for a all-around driving game. Tons of different cars with different handling characteristics that can be tweaked. If you want NASCAR racing, you got it. Rally racing? Got that too. Lots of different tracks. The campaign game is challedging, but not overly frustrating. This game challedges you on having a variety of racing skills that you need to have. If you want just one racing game to cover a variety of different racing genres, this is it.
Great PSP version

Referring to TOCA. This game plays well and looks very good on the PSP. I like the different modes of play and the many cars and tracks you unlock as you win races and overtakes. A note on price: I picked this game up last week at gamestop new for $19.95.
