Sonic Rivals 1 for the PSP

Long Time Since i've last done a 'PSP' Review isn't it? :P
I Recently downloaded the CSO of Sonic Rivals, after trying the ISO out on my friends PSP. And i was impressed! Me, Myself am a Big Fan of Sonic on the Gameboy Advance. Yet i always thought of the Graphics to be somewhat lacking some life and dignity! The 2D Camera Angle wasn't great either, but worked great for the Games Perspective!

After i Downloaded the CSO (Which turned out to be Spanish... *Silly Me*) I transferred it onto my Memory Stick Duo and tried the Game Out. Personally, i can see Hours of Gameplay being put into this Game for people which can be bothered (Not me :P). There are a few new Features which i Love, which include Being able to Attack your Rival (a.k.a the person your racing against). The Camera Angle on the PSP also does sometimes change to suit the Loop, or Area which you are rushing through. When there is an Extra-Big Loop... the Camera nicely Zooms out. When there is an Extremely Long Path, the Camera goes infront of you, which allows you to Look at yourself from a Front Point of View. Sadly though, you can't control the Camera, which shouldnt be a problem! The Season Mode (i think its called season, idk because my Game is in Spanish lol) allows you to choose from 4 Characters. Sonic, Knuckles, and the Other two i dont know their names. Each Level Set Consists of 3 Missions. The First of the 3 is a Race, the Second is a Harder Race, the Third is a BOSS Battle where u and your Rival are on a Round Loop and have to Attack a Boss Several Times in Order to Defeat him. The one that attacks him the Most Wins. You Of course then proceed to the next Level.
I would rate this Game a high 7.5/10. You May Rate it Higher, or Lower. Depending on what Games you Like, Your Age, Etc. I will be playing this Game on my Flight to Lebanon this Saturday! It should waste some of my Time and make the 3 hour journey taste Sweet :D

Cheers!
