Gameplay

The gameplay takes place in following cities in United States, including Los Angeles, Miami and Philadelphia, and the races will take place not only in the daytime but also at night.

Development

SRS initially received publishing support from the 3DO Company. While the game was still in development, 3DO declared bankruptcy and auctioned off SRS along with its other assets. Namco picked up SRS for $1.5 million, compared to the $1.3 million that Ubisoft paid for the Heroes of Might and Magic franchise.[6]

Reception

The GameCube, PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions received "mixed or average reviews" according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.[27][28][29]
