Metropolis Street Racer 2000

Is it still worth playing?

Bizarre Creations' racing game for the Dreamcast, released in Europe in November 2000 and in North America in January 2001. It recreates cities such as London in detail and is known for its Kudos system, which rewards racing with style as well as speed. As a street racer you impress other drivers across 25 chapters of ten challenges, and finishing a chapter, with enough Kudos, unlocks the next one and a new car. Each challenge has its own track, which also opens up in time attack and multiplayer. They include a Hotlap against a time, a One-on-One race, a Street Race against several opponents and a four race Championship. Kudos come from Skill and from Style, so how you take a corner counts as much as how fast, which still gives each lap a point beyond the clock.
