The PSP Is a Poor Controller for This Kind of Game

It's THUG2 with some bonus levels. THUG2 was a great game on the PS2, but it's another fail on the PSP. I play THPS games a certain way, I like to do combos that last several minutes. But wiht the PSP the screen shakes a lot when you're pushing several buttons each second and thus makes my eyes hurt and the game becomes unplayable. Also, no spin buttons in the shoulder buttons. As a hardcore fan of the series, I need spin buttons. Trying to spin with the D-pad just makes it too difficult to tap the buttons for manuals in time. Other than those control issues I have nothing against this game, there's a lot of content and gameplay to this game, but it's just not for the hardcore audience. Go for the PS2 version instead.
