interesting at Summer of Sonic 08, someone in the pub had a PSP and the game and it found it's way into my eager fingers. The only time I've ever played a Sonic Rivals game was. I feel bad for the music guy, because the tunes in the first game were blatantly made to match up so the melody kicked in at "GO!" with each race, but because the music starts on the loading screen it doesn't sync up, lol.
Oh, and I will agree the soundtracks were awesome. It was a little more unvaried in terms of story mode missions (entirely racing until the finale), but overall a lot more balanced, not to mention fun. Rivals 1 however I thought was absoloutely awesome. Also not helping is the way items are entirely useless in races unless you're in first, because in second they move towards the other character slower than you actually run, so they don't help at all with catching up (and when the CPU gets too far ahead, even near the start, that's pretty much race lost). The worst offenders are Frontier Canyon and Sunset Forest.
The fight stages are boring and the bosses even more annoying than the first game with a CPU player constantly bothering you while you try to beat it. They're pretty awesome, but if they ramped up the difficulty so it was a -little- easier to die, and made it a non-racing experience they'd have been more fun.
