About Metropolis Street Racer
Product description Enter a new age of driving, a new form of thinking and feeling, and totally immerse yourself in the most advanced driving game ever created. Your 'Kudos' is the only path to success, since this is a unique test of skill, style and precision, which spans the streets of London, Tokyo and San Francisco. Be astounded by the realism, push your limits round 250+ different circuits, in hundreds of challenging events. Indulge up to 8 people in a unique multiplayer experience, and prepare yourself for the ultimate Internet Kudos Challenge Amazon.com With Metropolis Street Racer, you can drive 40 licensed vehicles from 14 manufacturers, including Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Renault, Rover, Mitsubishi, Alfa Romeo, Peugeot, Honda, and Ford. Two hundred different routes through Tokyo, London, and San Francisco offer 15 square miles of 3-D scenery that's been created from more than 40,000 photographs and 400 hours of video footage. Play in several game modes, including street race, timed run, head-to-head, model street race, model championship, challenge, and championship. Race solo, or against a friend via the split-screen mode, or see how you compare against online speedsters by uploading your performance in the Internet hot lap to get rated in a league. Road-handling dynamics and car physics are affected by changing weather conditions, including fog, snow, and rain. "Real World Time" allows the gamer to race at the correct time of day in each city. Metropolis Street Racer's authentic engine sounds were recorded from a wide range of cars; but, if motor purr isn't enough for you, you can listen to techno, dance, rock, jazz, or country music while you race through the city streets. Amazon.com Preview After having played a limited preview of Metropolis Street Racer, which took us in and around the streets of Tokyo, we find ourselves filled with the hope that the finished game will live up to the preview's rewarding experience. Sega says that the final version of Metropolis Street Racer will contain 40 licensed sports cars that'll be free to twist and turn across more than 200 individual routes through London, San Francisco, and the aforementioned Tokyo. Major automotive firms--like Mercedes, Toyota, Renault, Rover, Mitsubishi, and Alfa Romeo--are on board, and racers will take their high-profile machines through such racing modes as Street Race, Timed Run, Championship, and a few others that'll be revealed only when the game ships. Of course, you'll be free to race solo or against a friend (four-player split-screen would have been nice, but it probably would have necessitated creating simplified, four-player world architecture at a great cost in time and resources). It's safe to expect that avid MSR players will be able to upload their fast-lap times onto a special posting area on SegaNet. What will make or break this game in the hearts and minds of many, however, is the style of driving that MSR brings to the track. Instead of just hitting the accelerator and bounding off every obstacle in sight, MSR drivers are awarded kudos for their techniques. Negotiate a hard turn without scratching paint off the door, and you get five points. Vault the Tower Bridge without crushing your undercarriage, and you might get another five. Of course, this means that you must become good friends with the hand brake, because it's the only way to control the car through turns while maintaining enough speed to be competitive. Fun, yes; but nerve-racking, too. Hopefully, all of that accelerator mashing and hand-brake jerking won't prevent you from seeing just how big the world of Metropolis Street Racer is. Sega says Bizarre Creations (the game's developer) has sculpted 15 square miles of terrain around the three cities. And, because there's limited fogging, you actually can see the far horizon from time to time. The game engine's impressive draw-in rate isn't immediately obvious within the gorgeously detailed city streets; but, get o
