You'll do things like complete checkpoint races, catch air for a long period of time, or follow a car closely without passing or hitting it. Each one is a specific task that is attached to one of the 18 girls in the game. As you work through your racing career, you unlock respect challenges.
The girlfriends aspect of the game is about as shallow as it could possibly be.
This makes driving cleanly pretty important, since it's definitely possible to squander most of your race winnings on repairs if you smash into walls and other cars a lot during a series. You'll also need it to pay for repairs for your car between races. Money is probably the most important element in SRS, because you'll need it as an ante to enter races. When you enter a race, you can also make side bets with the other racers in an attempt to make more money. Here you'll buy cars, you'll buy parts for your cars, and you'll engage in a variety of races for cash, respect points, girlfriends, or some combination of the three. But the game's depth is found in street mode, which starts out with some inkling of a story but quickly boils down to a fairly standard career mode. The multiplayer mode lets you race on a split-screen, and it functions pretty well. Arcade mode lets you choose a car, a race type, and an area so that you can get right down to business. Street Racing Syndicate breaks down into a few different modes. Street mode is where you'll spend most of your time.
The game tries to deliver an authentic street racing experience, but the racing itself tends to be rather unexciting. The British developer Eutechnyx has developed several racing games over the years, including Test Drive Le Mans and Big Mutha Truckers, and now it has an import driving game to call its own in the form of Street Racing Syndicate. Thanks to the success of films like The Fast and the Furious and games like Midnight Club 2 and Need for Speed Underground, this subgenre is now in full swing. Driving games-especially the subset of driving games that go after the import tuning and underground street racing scene-are on the rise.
