SRS-Street Racing Syndicate review:4 stars (Com'on, you know why you're buying it...) - As someone who's not a big fan of the racing genre and has mostly stuck to the "Ridge Racer" series for racing excitment, there was really only one thing that drew me to this title - the women. There's something politically incorrect yet disturbingly appealing and addictive about winning shallow women through fast racing, then keeping them in a warehouse and making them dance for you. If you're a male gamer, you probably know what I'm talking about. Thankfully, Street Racing Syndicate has enough racing goodness to make collecting these women rather fun.
This isn't a standout racer in any way - the graphics are above average and pretty, yet you don't have to look too far to see something prettier. The lack of speed is probably what will turn off most hardcore racers - it's fast, but nothing impressive. Still the cars handle well, and the tracks are laid out on an open-ended city that can be explored. Another part of the game is all about upgrades and customization in the garage - you won't be unlocking an insane amount of cars, but it's fun to add some personalization and try out different parts to see what works best.
Really, the only nitpicks I have with the game are the menu text and save system. The text is a bit difficult to read in places, and the auto-save isn't explicit about when it actually saves: I'm presuming it saves after major races and events are cleared, but some indicator would've been appreciated. To conclude, if you're a better person than me and have passed that point in your life where collecting shallow girls has appeal, try another game. If you're a hardcore racing gamer, this probably isn't your title either. But if you're a novice who enjoys the occasional race and would like to build your own import harem, Street Racing Syndicate is the game to own. 5 stars (Better than NFSU or NFSU2) - I fell in love with Need For Speed Underground (NFSU) when it came out. At first I decided not to buy SRS because several online reviewers didn't think it was as good as NFSU. When NFSU2 came out I was one of the first to buy the game. Unfortunately, NFSU2 didn't live up to my expectations. Both NFSU and NFSU2 are great street racing games, but they lacked some of the "flare" that I expected from "Underground" street racing. I finally decided to buy SRS because I figured it couldn't be that much more of a let down than NFSU2. I was surprised to find that SRS is in my opinion the BEST street racing game currently on the market (as of the end of 2004). If you want a street racing game (and you are a teen or adult gamer) you MUST get this game!3 stars (good but chaos) - I rented this game and thought it was great then it got a little boring then a little more fun.Once you get the hang of this game it is great.But here's the frustrating part when you get a car at the begining if you sell and think you get your money back go for it.You wont get your money back but if you buy a new car you'll end up with barely enough money. So take my tips dont buy a new car and dont sell. If you follow these tips this game is great.
