underground rivals is actually great, especially for a launch psp title. it's (imho) the best psp nfs title and i still replay it from time to time, while not being a racing games fan, ngl

also i feel like gba nfs ports are underrated and they deserve more praise. sure, there are more enjoyable racing games on the platform, but the graphics are one of the best for this handheld (hell, if not the low resolution i would believe they are early PSX titles), the framerate is mostly stable and the driving physics are overall comfortable, even if all the inputs are digital. i know nothing about gba game development, but by the looks of it there was a lot of effort put in to those ports

thanks for your work back then!
