It makes for an incredibly deep PSP title. Same modes, same cars, same upgrades, same tweaks, same views, same replays, etc. Sound is equally good - you still have the distinctive engine sounds for each of the cars and actually Grists' calls seem a little more audible than they do on the Xbox with some tweaking of the settings.ДЄctually, everything in the console versions seems to also be here. They are stunning - detail is identical to the Xbox version, only not quite as smooth. I'd put the graphics here up against any title I've seen out there. Once you fix this, the game absolutely rocks (assuming you liked CMR5 on the other consoles). Other folks on those forums have come up with other solutions, like using paper clips to keep the triangle button held down. While it is still tough, very tough in some stages, you at least have a decent chance to win or finish well.

If you hold down this button and use the d-pad to steer, after a little practice control is about the same as the XBox or PS2 versions. This frees your right thumb to hold down the hard steering button (triangle) throughout the whole race. (No thanks to Codemasters themselves, which apparently refuse to acknowledge there is any problem.) The trick is to switch the controller layout from default to #2, which places the accelerate and brake buttons on the shoulders. Naturally, you'd think that you could use the D-Pad, but this too is broken in the default settings as you cannot turn anywhere near sharply enough.ДЇortunately someone on the Codemasters forums has come up with a workaround that does the trick. This kills any chance you might have of finishing on the podium. The problem is that if you use the analog stick, your speed drops a few notches EVERY time you turn, even a hair. It seems there is a bug with the PSP version that makes it impossible to control properly with the settings out of the box. You can run a completely clean stage with the thing floored and you will still finish at least 10 seconds off the lead.

I couldn't find any other threads here, but apologies if I missed one.ДЇirst, it is not only brutally tough in career mode, it is impossible. Mine arrived yesterday and here are a few impressions after twenty stages or so. I hadn't seen much about this anywhere other than a handful of mediocre reviews that slammed it for being too hard in career mode.
