  • Summary: Fully strapped with firepower, you'll make a mad dash for power by racing against ruthless street crews, murdering your opponents, and building an empire of cash money. In Notorious: Die to Drive, you can choose from more than 30 different vehicles, ranging from vintage roadsters to modern models. Then equip yourself with more than 20 weapons, including pistols, machine guns, shotguns, and Molotov Cocktails. High-priced women, jewelry, and houses are just some of the rewards for the few who can survive this dangerous game. Expand

  1. The graphics are great with plenty of detail, you are never fighting the controls, the speed effects and weapons are great and the storm drain levels rock. There are parts of this game that almost make you feel like you're in the middle of some Jerry Bruckheimer movie.

    All the machine guns, sawed-offs, and rocket launchers can't save this title. 187 Ride or Die lacks a number of things that could have made this a worthwhile action game so all we're left with is a disappointing racing game.
  3. Fans of the genre and hip-hop alike will enjoy 187: Ride or Die and there's no reason why it shouldn't become a hit for Ubi. Take a little bit of Burnout, add a sprinkling of Twisted Metal and a lot of bad attitude; the result is Ubi's latest, explosive release that maintains the French publisher's commitment to quality.
  4. Vehicle customization would have been a welcomed addition to a very shallow game.

    If I could design my own cars this would be heaven. As it is, it's just shy. Controls are solid. The combat is great and deathmatch totally rocks. Expand

    Considering the low review scores, I was very surprised at how great the graphics and effects were. But I was also shocked at the horrible dialog. It's seriously the worst I've ever heard/read in a game - worse than Fifa Street's even. Expand

    Is it a good, beautiful, brilliant, fantastic game? Not even close.
