What They Say:
Check out these quotes from reviews & previews
"There are some decent ideas in Street Racing Syndicate, but the fairly uninspired interpretation of racing in the game makes it pretty boring overall. SRS attempts to "get real" by including parts, a Dyno, and other items that make it appeal to real-life racers, but the uninteresting action on the streets means that you'll probably want to look elsewhere for your underground street racing thrills. "
"Street Racing Syndicate currently needs a sugar daddy and a physics engine tuning to gain admission to the same discotheque as Midnight Club II."
"Street Racing Syndicate features open-city and closed-track races, underground and sanctioned events and a bevy of challenges along the way. "
"The game is beautifully rendered, slick with wet and dry streets, excellent car models, and a dynamic and fantastic set of car physics. Each time you upgrade your car you can feel the difference in the brakes, handling, sense of speed, shocks, and each time you decide to buy a part you can see the potential change in your vehicle's performance in the top speed, 0-60, handling, torque, and more."
"SRS simultaneously succeeds and fails as a racing title. On the one hand, it delivers an authentic customization system second to none. It also lets you drive around exploring large parts of three major cities. On the other hand, it fails due to its lack of speed. Namco has sacrificed the excitement of illusion for reality. And as we all know, reality bites. Or at the very least, its not as thrilling as fantasy."
