  IGN: Metropolis Street Racer Review
Metropolis Street Racer's structure is all about teaching you how to drive, and if you play your kudos right, teaching you how to thrive.
Metropolis does include some cool modes, and if you can handle a choppy framerate and reduced field of view, you may like it, but to be honest, I had more fun trading laps for top times with my friends than I did going head to head.
When all is said and done, MSR isn't revolutionary in the areas you take for granted in a next generation console racer, but it is in all the ways you hope it to be.

  gameassault.com - Metropolis Street Racer Review
Metropolis Street Racer was intended to be an early launch title for the Dreamcast and compete directly with Gran Turismo 2.
Metropolis Street Racer can be described as the perfect combination of intelligent Gran Turismo racing with the style and power slides of Ridge Racer, and it’s great.
MSR strikes out into unknown territory that mixes some simulation features of Gran Turismo and some of the arcade elements from the Ridge Racer series.

 Metropolis Street Racer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Metropolis Street Racer or MSR is a racing game for the Sega Dreamcast.
Metropolis Street Racer is notable for introducing the "Kudos" system (whereby players are rewarded for racing stylishly as well as quickly) into video games, and for its detailed and accurate recreations of the cities London, Tokyo and San Francisco.
Gameplay in MSR is centred around the single-player mode, with tracks and cars in the multiplayer mode being unlocked at the same time as in the single-player game.

MSR takes realistic driving physics and real life vehicles, and puts you behind the wheel as an illegal street racer.
As a street racer, you're a member in a sort of underground club; you and your fellow racers tear up city streets on predetermined courses.
Street racing, in fact, is all about tweaking your car with performance modifications that improve performance while keeping the car street legal.

 The Sports Gaming Network - Metropolis Street Racer (DC) Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
MSR has been one of the most delayed titles on the next generation consoles, and with all the delays you would expect the perfect game.
The street courses are an absolute joy to traverse, and the driving is an improved Ridge Racer powerslide model but for the Dreamcast.
MSR had to wait until I finished my other racer du jour, the excellent Vanishing Point from Acclaim, but once I popped it in I was hooked.

 Review - Metropolis Street Racer /// Eurogamer
Without beating around the bush here, we'll put one thing straight: Metropolis Street Racer is truly one of the greatest driving games ever conceived.
When I first read the rave previews about MSR, I couldn't possibly imagine what could differentiate this one driving game from all the hundreds before it, aside from perhaps some improved physics, more cars, better graphics, yadda yadda..
The locales, which are set in streets dotted throughout London, Tokyo and San Francisco, are astoundingly detailed, with notable landmarks such as the Houses of Parliament modelled and textured with loving accuracy.

 PlanetDreamcast: Games - Reviews - Metropolis Street Racer
MSR enables tire smoke in its default config, which is a serious mistake.
Because MSR is set in authenticated city environments, it's difficult for a player to see a tight turn or an intersection until he's right on top of it.
Bizarre knew this was a problem, as is evidenced by the giant-ass arrows near every turn, but still chose to let their ghost car occlude the player's view just when he's trying to familiarize himself with the game.

 Metropolis Street Racer for DC - Metropolis Street Racer Dreamcast - Metropolis Street Racer DC Game
Metropolis Street Racer is a beautiful racer with accurate physics and tight control, but the kudos system makes it far more challenging than it needs to be.
Bizarre Creations talks about its European Dreamcast launch racer Metropolis in a statement bound for Milia.
MSR has approximately two miles of various cities reconstructed and weather conditions - like rain, wind, and fog - will factor in to your race.

 Metropolis Street Racer Review
Metropolis has been in development since the very early days of the Dreamcast, before the machine was even announced in fact.
In the last few months it seems that MSR has come on leaps and bounds, finally everything has come together to produce a game that is one of the best on the Dreamcast, and is simply put, the best driving game available on any format and is likely to remain so for some time.
Metropolis is an excellent game, of the type that you don't see too many of.

 Nextgame.it: Metropolis Street Racer - Recensione   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
In poche parole: in Metropolis Street Racer lo scopo è quello di affrontare una serie di prove in cui raggiungere si determinati obiettivi, ma bisogna farlo esprimendo uno stile di guida divertente, spettacolare ma non scorretto o pericoloso.
Il modello di guida di Metropolis Street Racer offre comunque un'ottima varietà anche a seconda delle vetture, ognuna realmente differente dall'altra, con diverse specifiche che rispecchiano quanto succede poi in pista.
Metropolis Street Racer prende il via dalla base posta da Ridge Racer in questi ultimi anni, ma la riprende, rielabora, espande e arricchisce in maniera assolutamente imprevedibile...

 Metropolis Street Racer Review for Dreamcast - Gaming Age
Metropolis Street Racer isn't a game that anyone can call 'typical' or 'monotonous'.
It's rather strange, as KFC was in the previous MSR demos, but it must have been a last minute pull out.
The presentation in MSR is the real killer of the game, and is where you will be spending a lot of your time.

 NTSC-uk review > Sega Dreamcast > Metropolis Street Racer
After the phenomenal success Bizarre Creations had with the F1 games on the Playstation, they set their sights even higher by creating the ambitious MSR (Metropolis Street Racer) on the fading Dreamcast.
Unfortunately as MSR got delayed more and more, the Dreamcast market was slowly shrinking and as a result the title didn't gain the success Bizarre and Sega had hoped for.
While MSR is a welcome change in the identikit-driving genre, the game has some series flaws with its basic design, which unwind the whole experience.

 Metropolis Street Racer / MSR Preview (Shin Force: Games: Previews: Sega Dreamcast)
Bizarre has spared no expense to obtain aerial photos, street plans, and survey maps which will be used in recreating these cities in the game.
MSR is supposed to lean towards the simulation side (harder to make correctly) so I hope the developers don't screw this up (not that I'm expecting them to).
MSR boasts over 60 licensed sports cars to choose from and 200 routes to provide a different thrill-ride every time.

Metropolis Street Racer's authentic engine sounds were recorded from a wide range of cars; but, if motor purr isn't enough for you, you can listen to techno, dance, rock, jazz, or country music while you race through the city streets.
MSR handles great -- the handbrake works to perfection, enabling you to perform a Kudos-earning skid, but watch out for the walls -- hit em and you lose Kudos.
MSR is one of the most interesting as well as enjoyable racing games to play.

Metropolis Street Racer: mention those three simple words to any Dreamcast owner and they launch into a frenzy of excitement and anticipation over what is the most talked about racer of the past decade and crucially one of the Dreamcast’s most important releases ever.
Street Race is a full-on race against up to five CPU drivers where you can gamble on what position you will finish in.
You’ll find that in a Street Race, or indeed any other race against computer opponents, you’ll be so caught up on not hitting the sides and not hitting your opponents you’ll forget about the race, or will be too hesitant to take a chance, which results in some ‘fragile’ races.

 Metropolis Street Racer Preview
There are 2 game modes playable in MSR which cater for the needs of the casual gamer and also for the more hardcore racing fanatics among us (you know who you are!): classic Arcade Mode and Gang Battle.
-And MSR's divine physic's engine allows for such visual splendour as watching the brake discs on the car turn scalding red-hot due to the various pressures, friction and heat conditions which may arise and will ONLY do so when and if the advanced physics engine complies that they are hot enough to do so.
Metropolis Street Racer looks set to deliver a stunning experience in real world locations.

 Metropolis Street Racer (drm: 2001): Reviews
Visually MSR is second to none with highly detailed environments...Likewise, the AI can be bullish at times, but with cunning driving you can beat them at their own game.
Not that MSR is a bad game, but there are at least a few other Dreamcast racers I would have to recommend before it.
Certainly the best feeling racer on the market, even with the X-Box sequel on the market now falling flat on it's gameplay face, and while some people moan about the difficulty and scoring system, I think it makes the game actually challenging, despite it's sometimes less than amazing rewards.

Admittedly, driving in MSR is fun enough, as forward and lateral movements are handled well.
Successful players will need to quickly become friends with the hand brake, and incorporate it flawlessly into an intricate routine of slide-turning, accelerating and sparingly applying the main brakes, all while trying desperately to not even slightly touch any other object in the world.
In trying too hard to create a racer that's everything for everybody, ten times the usual bells and whistles attached, Bizarre neglected to focus on polishing MSR's overall driving experience.
