The Ps3 pkg version of the game features updated graphics and gameplay, taking advantage of the Ps3's more powerful hardware. The game runs at a smoother frame rate, and the graphics are more detailed, with improved lighting and textures. The gameplay is just as exciting as the original, with tight controls and realistic driving physics.

Performance varies. While "fat" PS3s (CECHA01/CECHB01) run it perfectly via hardware, Slim and Super Slim models use software emulation, which can occasionally lead to minor graphical glitches in the garage menus [4].
