The graphics have also been improved since the last time we played the game. The frame-rate cruises along at a reasonably steady 30fps, which, while not the eye-popping 60fps that Namco's Ridge Racers offers, still delivers an impressive sense of speed. The lighting in the game is still undergoing some work but doesn't appear to offer the richness seen in the PlayStation 2 NFSU games. That said, the game does a fine job of approximating the look and feel of those titles, albeit with a little less polish, and still packs plenty of visual punch. Despite a few rough visual spots in terms framerate, textures, and lighting (all of which are still apparently being worked on), NFSU Rivals appears poised to be among the best looking PSP games.
