Adore THUG 2 Remix. I've been playing games since the 80s, and I can remember only twice being left speechless when first playing games that signaled the beginning of a new console generation. One was playing the original Halo on the launch day of the Xbox, and the other was playing THUG 2 on the the launch day of the PSP. The fact that there was a handheld game that looked that good and played that well absolutely blew my mind.

Well since THUG 2 Remix came out a bit after the original THUG 2, there was definitely room for extra content, it's just a shame that the PSP was somewhat overshadowed by the DS, and furthermore, PSP versions of console games were held back a great deal due to the lack of a second analog stick and two extra shoulder buttons, but how they got the game to work with a limited control scheme is commendable.
