Found some screenshots: http://www.planet-driver.com

I don't like the graphics. Looks ugly. In my opinion LCS/VCS looked better. I'm glad about having no PSP. :D

all psp graphics look pretty bad. It also never equals PS2 graphics like they always seem to say. Infact I'd like a PSP just for this game but I can't be bothered buying one, because I don't have all that much money anywhere :( I need to buy a better Video Card first.

Anyways, I found these screenshots all over the internet, same as the ones as planet-driver, lol... damn UBISOFT should release mroe screens.

Anyways I'll compare them with GTA PSP games later...

Anyways, most people seem to say teh graphics are way better...

The graphic may look cheap/bad, but I don't think that we are gonna notice that, as the biggest problem, when we're playing...! :)

Also, it is to PSP.. And I think that there are some nice 3-D texture and details inside the game..;)
