What’s here isn’t a disaster, just a little dull at times (although there’s plenty of male-oriented fanservice to keep you entertained).Ĭoast City itself is a fairly standard open-world location but that doesn’t mean it’s not interesting to drive around – its mix of highways, docklands, old industrial areas and urban skyscrapers feels well thought out and realistic, engrossing me in its world.ĭespite the rather harsh yellow filter that tints every aspect of Own the City’s presentation, this is a PSP game that otherwise looks highly impressive – especially considering it offers open-world environments. Need for Speed games have long been characterized by their serious-yet-campy stories and things are no different here – there’s certainly a nice setup and it’s interesting enough unravelling the mystery of what happened that night and certainly the final reveal wasn’t what I was expecting, but it’s bogged down by unlikable characters and a slow pace that means it’s difficult to stay too engaged. Still, I have to commend Team Fusion for at least trying – it’s quite rare to see a racing game that attempts plot and it’s even rarer on handhelds. To do this, he forms his own crew and goes between the newly-divided territories to force the leaders to reveal what they saw that night the only way he knows how – by beating them in street races. Own the City starts with the player character waking up surrounded by Sara and Mick’s wingman Carter and he vows to find out who the mysterious driver was that killed his brother and nearly took his own life. In one particular race the leader of the Lucky 7’s, named Mick, is fatally taken out by an unknown driver that also leaves his brother (the player) in a coma – the Lucky 7’s subsequently disband and his girlfriend Sara mourns for her loss. In Coast City, illegal street racing is commonplace and rival crews each own different turf, often challenging each other for control of the city. A fantastic open-world street racer with tonnes of content and options that offers an enjoyable experience despite a slightly wonky handling model.
