We already published the list of best PSP games of all time, now it’s time to discover the best PSP vehicle simulator games of all time.
With amazing titles available, the PSP definitely has a great library of vehicle simulator games.
So, if you’re a fan of both the PSP and vehicle simulator games, there’s a chance you’ll like this list.
And some of you may already know some of the games mentioned in this list.
#10. Street Riders
- Release Data: Virtuos/Ubisoft, 2006
- Genre: Simulation » Vehicle » Combat
Street Riders is a reworked port of 187 Ride or Die, an urban street racing game.
In a quest to gain money and respect, you race while shooting opponents at the same time.
But beware, this one is definitely not for everyone.
#9. Full Auto 2: Battlelines
- Release Data: Deep Fried Entertainment/Sega, 2007
- Genre: Simulation » Vehicle » Combat
Full Auto 2 is a decent idea if you’re looking for a game to just pick up and play for short periods of time.
If you’re a die-hard battle-racing game fan then you might be able to squeeze some enjoyment out of this, especially if you have the ability to play against three other players via ad hoc.
#8. BattleZone
- Release Data: Paradigm Entertainment/Atari SA, 2006
- Genre: Simulation » Vehicle » Combat
BattleZone is one of those rare games that isn’t really all that good but is still hard to put down.
In fact, when it’s all over, you’ll probably find yourself wanting more.
Certainly that’s in no small part because the game can be beaten in one sitting, but it’s also because it’s fun to play.
#7. Armored Core 3 Portable
- Release Data: From Software, 2009
- Genre: Simulation » Vehicle » Combat
For the most part it was a smooth transition from a console game to handheld release, and the original game’s short mission structure makes it easy to play on the go.
Overall, Armored Core 3 is an excellent game on the PSP that is hampered mostly by some graphical issues.
#6. Fired Up
- Release Data: SCEE London Studio/SCEE, 2005
- Genre: Simulation » Vehicle » Combat
The graphic and level design was top-notch—the destruction, smoke, and fire effect looks really good for a PSP game.
But Fired Up really shines in the multiplayer department—get past the single player campaign and convince your friends to play this game together for a great party game.
#5. Armored Core: Last Raven Portable
- Release Data: From Software, 2010
- Genre: Simulation » Vehicle » Combat
In short, if you’re an Armored Core fan who has been following its portable entries, you may feel right at home with this title and will likely be encouraged to take down every enemy armored core in the game’s virtual arena and complete every mission to see every ending.
#4. Armored Core: Formula Front – Extreme Battle
- Release Data: From Software, 2005
- Genre: Simulation » Vehicle » Combat
Enjoy the glorious battle effects like smoke, explosion, gunfire and mecha damage in great details.
Armored Core: Formula Front – Extreme Battle only cater to a small group of niche gamer who loves both mecha and hardcore simulation.
If you’re not both you would find it hard to enjoy this game since the learning curve is quite steep.
#3. Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice
- Release Data: Bigbig Studios/SCEE, 2008
- Genre: Simulation » Vehicle » Combat
Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice is an easy game to recommend if you enjoyed its predecessor.
It does everything that that game did a little bigger and little better.
If you’re in the mood for a Hollywood blockbuster that you can play a starring role in, you could do a lot worse than to enlist with Pursuit Force.
#2. Pursuit Force
- Release Data: Bigbig Studios/SCEE, 2006
- Genre: Simulation » Vehicle » Combat
The thing about Pursuit Force that ultimately makes it a great game is that its action is quite a bit of fun, and it’s paced and built in such a way that it feels like it’s meant to be a handheld game.
And if you own a PSP, it’s definitely worth playing.
#1. Twisted Metal: Head-On
- Release Data: Incognito Inc./SCEA, 2005
- Genre: Simulation » Vehicle » Combat
Twisted Metal: Head-On doesn’t mess with the series’ tried-and-true formula, though that’s not to say that fans of the series won’t find anything new to enjoy and appreciate in this installment.
And for newcomers, if you like the premise of a bunch of crazy vehicles trying to blast each other, you’ll be more than satisfied with the execution.
