Need For Speed: Most Wanted - The Vita version is way closer to the 360/PS3 game than you'd think

The same game... on a handheld?

Need For Speed: Most Wanted on PS Vita uses the same city layout and element placement as the 'big' console versions. Obviously there have to be some graphical concessions to make the game run on the Vita. But how close can it get? Take a look at the following images taken from the Vita and Xbox 360 versions of the game and see for yourself.

Note: In the interests of authenticity, the screens have been totally unedited, which is why the tiny black borders appear on the 360 screengrabs. Hit the full screen button to see them at their full resolution.
