The problem with most PSP games is that they try to be too clever, too “next gen”. OutRun 2006 may not be the best looking game on the PSP, or the most challenging, but it is great fun to play. Of late I’ve been playing my Nintendo DS far more than my PSP, because the games are just easy to pick up and fun to play. However, Sega has proved that “Fun” games can work just as well on the PSP – it has proved it with OutRun, just like it did with Virtua Tennis last year.
OK, so a game like OutRun doesn’t offer the kind of challenging longevity as GTA, but it does have that “pick up and play” appeal, especially with the multiplayer aspect. OutRun was a classic in 1986 when the masterful Yu Suzuki created it, now, 20 years later it’s a classic all over again.Read full review
