While Full Auto 2: Battlelines for the PSP shares the same name and same high-octane racer with weapons premise as its PlayStation 3 counterpart, it packs enough original goodies to make it a worthy sequel.

Developed by Deep Fried Entertainment (comprised of several former Need for Speed creators) and scheduled for a Spring release, Battlelines invites gamers to compete in a host of dangerous races, where simply reaching the finish line causes as much destruction as possible. Each of the game's 15 fictitious (ten new, five old) cars carry weapons, allowing players to not only take out their competitors, but also shatter glass, blow up store fronts and tear through statues. Furthermore, the game allows people to get multiple chances at life with Unwreck, a feature that lets them rewind the action for a few seconds, the goal to replay a hairpin turn, take another shot at something/someone or put their car back together after slamming into a wall. Unfortunately, the effect isn't nearly as impressive as in the Xbox 360 and PlayStation3 video games. Instead of turning the screen black and white, the screen gets hazy.

As previously mentioned, the game packs a wealth of new content. Players customize the cars, adding decals, changing the paint and choosing to position weapons on the front, sides or the rear. Speaking of weapons, Battlelines packs some serious heat in the form of an M16, M60, M203 Launcher, grenade, mortar, aircraft gun, heat-seeking missiles and the fire & forget missile, among other toys (18 total, 10 new).

In addition, Deep Fried programmed 15 tracks, divided into three districts and spread across Asian, American and European environments. One, for example, takes players through a circus, with various rides and a fun house (including a menacing clown face). Of course, the heart of the game, the career mode, keeps people busy. It offers 50 plus events that include various objectives and race types such as simple point A to point B events, circuits and battle royal style arena battles, where the last car running wins.
