Street Racing Syndicate is the Poor man's Need for Speed
At the most base, crass level these two can be separated by the quality of their poster girls - while Need for Speed can boast Kelly Brook, Emmanuelle Vaugier and Josie Maran, SRS has a bunch of ex- and current soft porn actresses, the best know of which is Kaila Yu, whose career peak was playing "Cowgirl at Starting Grid" in The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift.
The over-emphasis on surgically-effected models, in place to obscure the sub-standard street racing, was ultimately SRS 's downfall; promoting a game with harshly-lit bikini shots just made it look cheap and dirty. The ability to "win" girlfriends and then force them to "dance" for you in a grubby warehouse was just plain disturbing.
