	187 Ride or Die xbox review. 187 Ride or Die is Developed by and published in the UK by Ubisoft
		Well 187 Ride Or Die isn’t a free roaming game but more a mission based racing/driving game; and what is unique about this title for a driving game (other than the stereotypical gangster slang) is the fact that you can get your passenger to shoot the other gang racers off the city based tracks.
		I think the story is a little secondary to the fact that you are there as young gangster to be, Buck and your job is to beat rival gangs in races to the death, simple.
		As you would expect, the game is filled with Oscar winning performances from the actors in the hood and I think are a little over stated, but hey that’s gangster for you.
