This PSP version is not a simple porting of the PC game. It has been specially designed and adapted to the functionalities of the SONY Portable PSP. Here the simulation aspect is highlighted, and so the game claims to be much shorter than its counterpart. In fact, the player will not control 8 or 9 racers, but 5, and the scale of the various races has been reduced by more than half in order to make the parts more dynamic. Gameplay was also redesigned for the PSP; it will be simple and undeniably efficient. Commands (taking over, sprinting ahead, maintaining position) will be given with the X button, access to the control screen will be done using the triangle button, the L and R triggers will allow you to select the racer you wish to control, and the Select button will allow you to change camera angles. With careers limited to 5 seasons, single phases of gameplay, particularly during time trials and sprint phases, shorter races, etc., Pro Cycling PSP aims to be a beefed-up preview of the real-time simulation mode in the PC version. Players and cycling amateurs will delight in bringing together the season’s 20 official teams and their star racers for a Tour de France 2007 that is more intense than ever and, for the first time, mobile.
