Here’s a nice surprise. Test Drive Unlimited is a huge game for PS2, and we thought there was no way it would all fit into the Mini Cooper-like confines of PSP, so as it was loading up an imaginary list was drawn up of presumed shortcomings. The game world would be smaller, the online racing would be crap and there’d be far fewer cars you could drive.
