It's a good idea to have a backup ride in the garage otherwise your Street Mode career could end suddenly.
If you want to go even higher stakes than betting your girlfriend (and who in the hell wouldn't?), you can bet pink slips on your races. Showing up to a street race with no honeys on your arm limits the quality of races you can enter since you're obviously not good enough to have any groupies, so who wants to race against you anyway. Your credibility takes a hit, but not as much as it would if you lose your girlfriend by choosing to race instead of spend time with her. If you take your girl out, she'll stay happy and in your corner, but the fellas will write you off as a punk bitch who's afraid to race. Email messages from girlfriends and competitors will be huge because the game's producers claim you'll have instances where you'll have to choose between entering a street race and taking your complaining girlfriend out for a night on the town.
In Street Mode, your PDA is the non-racing interface and its here that you'll access your in-game email, calendar and web-browser. Credibility is earned through winning races obviously, but having the tightest rides and tightest stable of girlfriends is also factored into the mix. The game's Street Mode will serve as the career mode where you're thrown into the role of an up-and-coming driver (aren't we all) trying to earn his street cred.
With no sign of Infogrames' The Fast and the Furious, SRS may have an inside track when it arrives for the PS2, Xbox and GameCube this Summer. Developed by veteran racing game developers Eutechnyx, Street Racing Syndicate is a racing sim with realistic physics designed to bring the world of illegal street racing to home consoles. Oh sure there are plenty of other features like detailed real world racing environments in Miami, Los Angeles and Philadelphia, but it's all pales in comparison to the things you'll do to earn your street credibility in SRS. We must have missed the part of "The Fast and the Furious" when Vin Diesel and company wagered their women on illegal street races while we were fast-forwarding through the DVD (the only way to watch TFATF), but that's probably going to be the most memorable part of 3DO's Street Racing Syndicate.
