SRS: Street Racing Syndicate

Developer: Eutechnyx; Publisher: Codemasters
Preview by (10 May 2005)



advertisement
PACKED WITH FAST CARS, hot cities and even hotter girls, get ready to trick out your ride and lay it all on the line. SRS: Street Racing Syndicate is the new underground racer from UK developer Eutechnyx. In a crowded market for illegal street racing games, SRS seeks to differentiate itself with a great range of licenced cars and mods, visible damage, hot women, as well as a range of racing options both online and off.

Day or night, gamers can tear through live traffic against rival racers in locations based on cities such as LA, Miami and Philadelphia, with miles of open streets where crews of import tuners push their nitrous-injected obsessions to the limit. Racers can battle head to head via split-screen, or even take it online with PlayStation 2 Net online play and risk the pink slip to their car for the chance to win their rivals' cars permanently.

SRS: Street Racing Syndicate offers some of today's hottest import rides including the Mitsubishi Evolution VIII, MazdaSpeed RX8, Mazda RX-7 Spirit R, Subaru Impreza S202, Toyota Supra, VW Golf VR6, Nissan 350Z, Nissan Skyline GT-R, and a couple of dozen more.

There are also hundreds of officially licenced modding parts, stickers, paints and vinyls, an in-game dyno that measures actual peak torque and horsepower in real-time and the US import scene's hottest female models. Put your car on the dyno to measure your mods before you put it on the track to test your skills.

Seeking to differentiate itself from the competition SRS: Street Racing Syndicate risks pandering to the lowest common denominator with a range of barely-clad women impressed by hot wheels and fast driving. Eighteen of the hottest female models from the US are on hand to challenge you to impress them with your driving prowess. If you can keep up with the one of the fastest Celicas on the planet, or gain respect points by blowing the competition away, the girls will reward you with their special videos.

However, these hot honeys won't just hook up with any guy. You've got to prove you're the guy to be with them. As you win races and make a name for yourself, you'll start to receive special interest from the ladies in the game's Respect Challenges. She'll throw down the gauntlet and issue a specific street racing challenge. Complete it successfully and you'll win the girl and she'll reward you with a very personal video to watch when you're back at your private warehouse. The better you do, the better the show is.
