RACE GEAR UNLIMITED UPGRADE

Weirdly enough, all of the upgrade manufacturers are actually licensed, so you can equip your fake car with Continental tires, Momo steering wheels, NOS nitro systems, JBL speakers, and so on. Sure, they look like real-life vehicles, such as old Golfs and Skylines, but they feature slight design tweaks and different names, as if you were playing a Grand Theft Auto game. Super Street: Racer is an oddity when it comes to racing games as none of the cars included in here are licensed. My car might be completely destroyed, but my dope JBL speakers are still intact. Thankfully, I was also greeted with a somewhat stable framerate and a much more realistic sensation of speed than the one Gear.Club Unlimited 2 had to offer. After buying a used hunk of junk, I jumped right into a race, as I had no spare cash to buy upgrades, and was greeted with slippery controls. The resolution is also underwhelming, as you can easily notice jagged edges when you take a screenshot, as well as a LOT of blurring effects to try to mitigate those issues. The amount of assets popping in onscreen is really big. Super Street: Racer is really freaking ugly.

You’ll usually earn enough to buy a part or two per race, making the journey from junk owner to tuning celebrity quite rewarding.įirst impressions weren’t great. Car parts are ridiculously expensive, so you won’t be able to build a tuner monstrosity after a race or two. It’s a simple loop that takes advantage of how grindy it is in a very smart way. The game revolves around buying a used car and slowly modifying it with your spare change, all while partaking in isolated racing events to earn more money and experience points. There isn’t an open world for you to explore. Right from the get-go, it’s easy to notice Super Street: Racer‘s main source of inspiration: the Need for Speed Underground games, most specifically the first game in the series. This car would be the laughing stock of not only the tuner scene, but anyone who likes cars in general.
