Then when it comes to the race itself, you need to keep your car from deviating out of your lane while shifting up gears manually to hit optimal revs. You'll learn this portion in the tutorial at the beginning of the game. Your career will begin with you choosing one of three "beaters". Before you begin to tackle the list you need to work your way up through racing tiers one and two, broken down into several series of five events where each set of five events culminates in a race night, always including drag races. As you play you’ll level up your driver XP unlocking vehicles to progress your career. Along with experience points you unlock money to use in the in-game shop and at the junkyard. Once you hit level fifty though your excitement for leveling is gone and takes a bit of the thrill to win away. Once you get to the end of season two you’ll unlock the ability to take on the drivers on The List in the race night at the end of each five events. To begin with you’ll probably manage to climb a couple of places but if you end up on a race that takes place on a narrow dragstrip, you could find yourself in trouble. Especially since you cannot retry a race If you lose. If you fail with a DQ or loss you maintain your position. You’ll either then be called out by the driver you just beat as they try to regain their spot or in the event you lose both events you could find yourself dropping a place. It’s a bit annoying if you think you’re good to go only for your attempt to stall due to one crap race or two. Every drag race sees your car components take a beating, to the extent that your car overall rating and hence performance will be affected. You can go into the garage and upgrade your vehicle with parts from the scrapyard to begin with and eventually from level fifteen onwards in the store. Parts can be fitted across six categories ranging from drivetrain to electrical. In addition you’ll be able to unlock extra parts from occasional parts challenge races. You’ll hit a plateau on your way to the ultimate car rating. Even the difficult parts races rarely reward parts you need. Your only avenue for new parts in the post-fifty is going to be the junkyard assuming you get lucky with the rewarded parts it sees fit to throw your way. Once you get high enough rated parts your junkyard searches will be more focused. All this working for parts gives you a you feeling like your car is yours as opposed to just some automatically upgraded reward. That combined with the cars you unlock during your career progression really add to the sense of ownership. It’s a neat trick in giving your that sense of building a car. You can also change cosmetic paint, tyre and wheel rim unlocks but they don’t have any bearing on overall performance of your vehicle and are merely cosmetic. You can set tuning presets but we found ourselves finding one setting that was a decent catch all for performance and drag race stability to stop lane drift. I tried to avoid focussing on it too much, but it is hard to avoid the lack of graphical presence in the game. Street Outlaws: The List could easily be a 360 game by its looks alone. Despite these issues issues I mentioned, I did had fun playing Street Outlaws. Drag races which could otherwise be perfunctory events are given added interest with the burnout and bumping subsections. The developers decision to add more to the game than the TV show offers was a wise one. Street Outlaws: The List is fun but not stellar, it's worth playing yet it's going to feel more like a solid 360 backwards compatible game than a new release for your Xbox One.… Expand
