  1. Next Level Gaming

    SRS has a lot of good things going for it, including some solid comtrols and AI, a very good online mode with pink slips and all, and a very open ended racing system.
  2. TeamXbox
    81
    A bit of a wolf in sheep's clothing - masked behind pedestrian visuals, a mediocre soundtrack, and a rocky release to market with the whole 3DO debacle, is a racing game with absolutely incredible physics and handling and a fun career mode.
  3. Cheat Code Central
    80
    It's a solid racing game that with a few tweaks and a more balanced vehicle hierarchy could turn into a bright franchise with the next installment. This one got our attention; let's hope the next one knocks us out.
  5. BonusStage
    78
    There's a lot to like about what's here, and if Namco can take it to the next level depth-wise, like adding more cars and parts while keeping that same attention to detail in the driving model and making it even more realistic, they'll have the next big racing franchise all wrapped up.
  6. Official Xbox Magazine
    77
    It's truly a surreal (and kind of sleazy) videogame experience to be watching a scantily-clad, silicone-enhanced woman gyrating on-screen as a reward for your racing skills. [Oct 2004, p.82]

  7. Game Chronicles
    77
    The massive parts list will keep you in the garage for hours on end, and the online racing will be the ultimate test of your skills as a mechanic and driver.
  8. Gaming Target
    77
    The game's certainly enjoyable, just not necessarily long enough or amazing enough to warrant a blind purchase.
  9. Play Magazine
    75
    It's big, deep and dripping with rhymes. A few framerate hits aside, it looks good, too, if not a bit excessively neon. [Oct 2004, p.75]

    After digging out my Xbox again xmas 06 - I decided to give SRS 'just one more go' Started from scratch again and admit to playing After digging out my Xbox again xmas 06 - I decided to give SRS 'just one more go' Started from scratch again and admit to playing it every day for a couple of weeks! It can be frustrating and even inconsistent at times although rarely, but there is no doubt that it has the playability to keep me coming back time after time. Progression through the respect rating system, the upgrades, the challenges have quite a steep learning curve as some of the tasks are impossible with the car that you have at the time - working your way up through the cars and kitting them is all part of of what makes this the best racing game that I have tried.… Full Review »
