PS2 | Street Racing Syndicate

Street Racing Syndicate is pure and simply an arcade racer. It doesn’t try and be a simulation: its focus is fun.

But it’s fun with add-ons. More than just your standard arcade racer, this is street racing – you get to put money down on every race, and more importantly you are racing for kudos. And how do you win races? Sure, good driving is a must, but its how you tune your car that matters – what additional parts you purchase and install can give you the edge over the competition.

Other factors come later in the game such as trying to impress girls, racing for your opponents car and avoiding the cops.

It’s an easy to get into game, and this may be its weakest point, as it may be a little to easy to keep serious race fans hooked.
