| Best racing games for PSP??
Hey all...just thought this might be an interesting thread on RS's nerd forum 
My absolute favourite is Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition...hate the loading times, but aside from that, it's insane how much you can mod your cars, love the 3 city setup and the way you play through the game.
My close second is Midnight Club: LA Remix. Way faster load times are awesome, just wish there were more cars/more body mods available. Also, being limited to one city for most of the game gets a little boring and I'm not a HUGE fan of the way the game is structured (vs. MC3 DE). Still, amazing game and a ton of fun.
#3: NFS Carbon...fun game, loads fast, some cool concepts for wingmen, etc...but a LOT less realistic than MC. I like that you can customize cars, but not even close to the degree of MC.
#4: NFS Most Wanted...just bought it, haven't played it yet lol
Your turn.

sold my PSP ages ago.
But when i had it, i had fun playing ridge racer. Don't remember too much about it thogh, as it's been way too long since i played it. But i recall that game had a great sense of speed, very exciting

Is the Initial D game a Japanese-only release?
is Ridge Racer realistic? real cars? can you customize the cars?

Ridge Racer is a treat for the eyes and the ears, and the arcade-style drifting is very easy to learn, but hard to master.
Wipeout Pure, and its sequel Wipeout Pulse, are both solid futuristic racing games but I take it you're not too keen on that genre. Wipeout Pulse has a very deep campaign mode.
The Burnout series is awesome, if only because of the fact that no greater joy comes from eliminating your opponents by crashing them into oncoming traffic/pillars/walls/whatever's on the road. Once again very arcadey controls.

I just bought Test Drive (Unlimited? I think...the one that's in Hawaii)...it's okay...very Need For Speed-esque...kinda fun, but nothing like Midnight Club.

Due to the lack of racing games on the PSP, I am considering modding my PSP to play Gran turismo 2 (the best in the series IMO).
Can anyone comment on the quality of PS emulators and especially if anyone is running GT on their psp
Initial D was the only game I played on the PSP- alright but I prefer realistic Sims

hmm....I'd be interested in that too...
I bought Ridge Racer a couple of days ago and while it is fun...it's no Midnight Club or Gran Turismo...

Driving my mugen dc2 again | You're using PSX right? Do you need emulators for that?

Load times are minimal, and well worth it. C'mon guys, need I remind you how great the catalogue was for the PS1?
Gran Turismo > Any PSP racing game out there.
FF7, FF8, MGS, GT, GT2, etc..
*only downside, are most PS roms are around 1 gig for the above games.*
