“Gamers are about to get an insider’s look at the underground world of street racing,” said Rod Nakamoto, Executive Vice President of Research and Development for Namco Hometek Inc. “We’ve pulled out all the stops to make sure SRS is the most authentic street racing game ever.”
SRS comes tricked out with 50 officially licensed damageable vehicles, hundreds of after market parts, roaming police cruisers, an in-game dyno that measures actual peak torque and horsepower in real-time and 18 of the import scene’s hottest female models. Racers can battle head to head via split-screen, System Link, or even take it online and risk the pink slip to their car for the chance to win their rivals’ cars permanently! Day or night, gamers can tear through live traffic against rival racers in actual locations based on LA, Miami and Philly, or explore miles of open city streets between tuning and racing! SRS’ driving and tuning realism has even been embraced by the automotive scene, with Import Tuner magazine recently saying, “…this game has become absolutely amazing. Simply put, it will trounce its competition.”
