The actual amount of cars on offer isn't that impressive though, at least the amount of unique cars isn't - while there are 50 cars included, the amount of actual models is far less. Respect is basically just a way for the game to regulate what events you can and can't participate in, whilst cash obviously regulates what cars and items you can and can't purchase, which cost roughly what you could expect to pay in the real world (when purchased new anyway). There are two basic currency's in Street Mode - respect and cash, both of which are earned from competing and winning in events. Luckily, there are descriptions of each item and your car's performance numbers are updated in real time to compare items, so even if you have absolutely no idea you can still see what's appropriate easily enough. Just about everything you would expect is on offer here, whether it be suspension and brake upgrades, to turbo and nitro systems, so be prepared to spend some deep thinking minutes tweaking your ride to find the best combination possible. Unlike some street racers though, there are definite gaps between cars models, so even with every upgrade the shop has to offer installed, a cheaper car won't be anywhere near as fast as a more expensive one - naturally, this means it is highly unlikely you'll finish the "Street Mode" with only one or two cars. Whether it be performance or cosmetic, there are quite a few options available. Like NFS:U2, it is played out in a city which seems to be stuck at midnight, and you drive to locations yourself (although there is an option here in SRS to "jump" to locations, which is a nice time saver).Ī significant bulk of playing SRS's Street Mode will be spent in the garage customizing your rides. This is your typical career mode where as you build a reputation and upgrade to faster and sexier cars as you progress. It is safe to say most gamers will probably, at least initially, spend most of their time in Street Mode. SRS consists of your usual modes - a career style mode called "Street Mode", a series of quick races and time trials, and multiplayer online. The feel of a port generally never lets up throughout the entire game in SRS, and while it is never necessarily a game killer, it definitely doesn't do the game any favors. This impression is brought upon by the game's menu system lets just say it clearly wasn't designed for use with a mouse. Unfortunately the first impression of SRS on the PC is not a positive one - that being the undeniable signs of a console port.
Street Racing Syndicate is one of the latest of such games to hit the PC from the guys at Namco and Eutechnyx, and while it offers some intense racing, it fails to deliver anything significant over what we have already seen. It isn't hard to see why - just about every breathing male (and the occasional female) between the ages 16 to 25 have some sort of love for cars, and while fantasy arcade racers like the original NFS titles are fun, they don't quite compare to the rush of taking a highly accessible car and modding the crap out of it until it is race worthy. Like World War II games in the FPS genre, street racing games have really taken off in the racing genre lately. Players may then need to purchase an upgrade or authorize repairs using after-market parts to get their vehicles back on the road and ready to race. A damage option has the jostling action between rival vehicles gradually affecting each car's appearance and performance. Players selecting the latter option must be prepared to outrun the police or risk being thrown in jail, receiving a ticket, or having their cars impounded. Gameplay offers a choice of sanctioned racing events as well as illegal street races held at night. In addition to racing for money, players can opt to race for their rival's most prized possession: either his pink slip or his date. Players can also customize the exterior of their cars by selecting different paint schemes and detail work. Vehicles can be upgraded with various parts along the way, from suspension and tires to turbo and nitrous oxide. Players begin by creating a character and then gaining notoriety by entering and winning races. In a storyline inspired by films like The Fast and the Furious, Street Racing Syndicate has players making a name for themselves in the high-stakes world of underground street racing.
