The graphics are solid in still shots, but the framerate chops along somewhere in the single digits per second. SRS runs the Blue Roses 3D engine for GBA, but the developers may have tried too hard this time.
Another encumbrance is optical obstruction. You'll be bashing into walls and fishtailing back and forth through your first several races trying to get the hang of it, and you never get completely adjusted. The steering control takes a lot of getting used to. Not you being sensitive - you keep 18 girls locked in a garage with your extra car parts, you jerk - your car. An obstacle to your progress comes in the form of being sensitive. Then you'll race in those to earn more money, more respect … you get the idea. Reaching the finish line faster than the other chumps will earn you more money, more respect, and open more racing opportunities. After the initial event, the game opens up - you use your starting stack of cash to buy your own car, trick it out as you see fit, then browse a map of the city for more racing opportunities. It's up to you to take his place, compete in his ride, and claim what money and respect you can in just three laps. Your crew's main man on the wheel has just been busted, and the big L.A. Street Mode puts you in the role of substitute driver.
It's a portal to the world of illegal street racing, where you live your life a quarter mile at a time.
Yours comes right out with instructional text: "Press Select to Hook Up." Reinforcement of negative stereotypes and moral outrage aside, SRS is home to a 3D graphics engine and an actual game as well. Way to go, Namco - other games make players hide in the shadows to score with ladies of questionable character. Women are just another win condition in SRS, treated like objects and a way to advance your rep. Winning street races and checkpoint challenges is how you'll boost your respect level and secure the company of these ladies, who are then stored back at your warehouse. There are 18 different digital dames to tame - you can pick one to claim when your name earns enough fame. SRS claims to be a racing game, but that's all just a cover.
