But really, it's done with less flair and polish. Much like NFSU, you basically drive in import tuners, beat rivals, make cash, and gain respect. In fact, that one aspect brings this game to a near-BMX XXX level, but not nearly as raunchy.īut before we get to the total decline of civilization known as SRS, let's get to know the rest of the game. BUT YOU CAN RACE FOR WOMEN! How innovative is that? Well, it's not.
Oh, gathering the ladies isn't all to the game, there's racing and betting for cash in there as well, plus the abillity to tune your car with licensed after market parts. girlfriends, as part of the street challenge mode. Have you ever wanted to drive in a tuned Mitsubishi Eclipse to attract the attention of some scantily clad ladies who really can't dance, by showing them your sweet driving moves? YOU CAN! One of the notable "features" of SRS is the abillity to collect skanks, err.
It's a purely average street racer with some cheesy gimmicks that are more pandering than cool. This is the case with SRS, a game that clearly has EA's Need For Speed Underground in it's sights, but really does nothing better to improve upon it, or even it's competition. SRS really doesn't do anything better than the games that come before or after it, and really is nothing more than a rental.īoy, when one company does something right, something many people like and draws attention, it's inevitable that there are four or five games that will do the same thing to be released afterwards. I mean, girlfriends, does not make a racing game better or more appealing. I think you know what I'm getting at.Ĭollecting whor. SRS also stands for Souviener Racing Slags.
I think a 5-day rental is all you need from this one. Honestly, it's not that compelling of a racer. The racing is hardly exciting, wether it's due to a lack of a true sense of speed, or that you're playing against opponents who pay their bills with leaves. The effects lack impact and the music sucks. Good car models, and mostly decent environments, but it's like we haven't seen this kind of thing before.
