Exclusive PSP system Features:
- Swap Meet - Gamers have the chance to show off their creative side by using the PSP system wireless connectivity option to trick out a ride and send it to other players via “Swap Meet” to use in non-career game mode.
- Road Sweeper - Putting drift racing skills to the test, up to four players can be challenged in this feature where the aim is to tag as many highlighted corners as possible using drifting maneuvers. The more complex and varied the techniques are, the more points added to the overall score. The player with the most tags (or drift points if there is a tie) wins at the end of the race.
- Oil Change - No car runs well without oil, so to increase performance, The Tune Shops will offer a multi-grade oil change as a purchasable item. By purchasing the oil, the player’s speed and performance will be temporarily enhanced upon returning to the HUB.
- Extras - Fast & Furious fanatics will get a special treat in the “Extras” section that will feature an unlocked selection containing images of both the movie and real world cars.
