    Forget the other modes the Area duals are amusing enough. Tony Hawk with guns, it's actually a lot of fun. The graphics aren't anythiny amazing, and it's a bit dark on a SDTV but otherwise if you keen on fast multiplayer action it's quite enjoyable.

    A flawed, but very entertaining game, Street Trace: NYC combines some of the best and worst aspects of Twisted Metal, Jet Set Radio, Tony Hawk, and Fuzion Frenzy. It doesn't do anything perfectly: the racing is good but not terribly accurate (like Jet Set Radio), the controls seem bewildering at first and only reward you after deep play (like Tony Hawk), the AI seems too easy or too A flawed, but very entertaining game, Street Trace: NYC combines some of the best and worst aspects of Twisted Metal, Jet Set Radio, Tony Hawk, and Fuzion Frenzy. It doesn't do anything perfectly: the racing is good but not terribly accurate (like Jet Set Radio), the controls seem bewildering at first and only reward you after deep play (like Tony Hawk), the AI seems too easy or too hard, and the voice acting borders on laughable (Fuzion Frenzy). But, like all these titles, the flaws don't keep you from enjoying this game. Frankly, this would be one of the worst games for the 360 if it was a retail release at $20 or $30. But for $10 as an XBLA title, I think it would appeal to any fan of the games I mentioned above and that brings up its ranking.… Expand

    The game has an admirable variety of modes, from career to arcade to quick play, but with a basic mechanic this crappy, all the variety in the world can't save it. [Feb 2007, p.100]

    From its mind-bending control scheme to its smorgasbord of play types, Street Trace's learning curve hews closer to "Catan" than "Hexic". [Aug 2007, p.81]

    It's a shame, as what initially looked promising all those months ago when we first saw it, is in fact one of the worst games on Live Arcade. Avoid.
