Sega Ships Metropolis Street Racer - IGN (original) (raw)

Reports from Hell indicate the Devil is, in fact, quite cold.

Well, it's finally here. The racing game Sega hoped to go head-to-head with Gran Turismo 2 finally founds it way out of the parking garage and onto the mean streets of Segaville.

To quote the illustrious Bob Sugar, "This is real, you should say something." To help avoid the need to be pinched, Sega's Queen Mother of all things communicable, Gwen Marker, stated, "Sega's 40-year videogame heritage is rich with hit racing titles such as 'Hang On(tm),' the 'Daytona(tm)' racing series and 'Sega Rally(tm). Sega is bringing racing to a new level once again with the release of 'MSR,' with hot new features such as the revolutionary new point system, customizable driving music and an Internet ranking option, a first for console racing games."

We'll be posting a full review tomorrow, but can already tell you that this one is well worth the wait. Which, considering this was originally slated to be a launch title, is saying quite a bit. If you just can't wait for the review, you have our blessing, but if you simply must know what we think, then be sure to check back for the whole score.
