Gran Turismo in PSP! an odd addition to the GT franchise 

Gran Turismo is such a popular franchise of driving/racing sim but I rarely hear about anyone discussing the 2009 Gran Turismo for the PSP. surprisingly, the game has a large selection of cars and it has the usual GT formula with one BIG ISSUE... it does NOT have the traditional career mode and an in-depth tuning setting. despite that, it is such an enjoyable game filled with a LOT of tracks as well. I have this game in my PSP but it got stolen and have decided to emulate it on my phone and it is still fun. it is very grindy though because you earn money by finishing races and being in the top 3. also you can reset the dealership every 2 races... you don't even have to finish the race, you just have to enter and instead of starting, you can exit and it counts as a day has passed. UMID discs can't handle a lot of stuff but I'm certain they could have fitted it with a dedicated career mode. 

also... you can cheat the game since there's a code to earn a lot of money in it... very typical for old games hahaha. i definitely miss when instead of "farming glitches", games actually have chat codes.
