While sister mag 360Zine went hands-on with the next-gen sequel to THQ's pimped-up 2005 racer, HGZine took a good look at the PSP version. We spoke to Phil Brown, the lead programmer on the PSP game, to get the full lowdown on this impressive-looking ride.

Has there been anything that's been particularly problematic to try and squeeze the whole game into the PSP?
Not really any major problems as such. The only real issues we faced were just through the hardware really – the 360's got lot s of memor y, and the PSP hasn't! Fitting it into a much smaller memory space and get ting it to look and fe el (and more importantly play) the same has been a real challenge, but we've managed to do it.

Have you worked alongside the 360 staff, and then figured out what you could and couldn't include from the home console versions of the game?
For the majority of development there has been two teams, but we've be en mostly working in parallel to each other. The two games each have their own tracks and their own textures, but the actual code that drives it all is about ninety per cent identical.
