Here bling is king and speed is everything. Players step into the role of modification master, picking out unique customizations and hooking up everything from tires and rims to bumpin' subwoofers and flat panel TV's to transform busted beaters into pimped out masterpieces. Put your style skills to the ultimate test in the garage, and then take to the in the streets for high speed racing to gain priceless bragging rights and credibility in the five unique boroughs of Pimp City. Players use the Wiimotes to take on high speed challenges, navigate open environments, and show off their flossed out rides from New Wave Beach to the Hip-Hop Heights. [Activision Value]

Game Revolution
There’s some charm to the cheesy interviews and the upgrades like the fold-down barbecue grill, but Pimp My Ride is such a flimsy game - so plain, so bare. It's catchy enough to play once or twice, but it can’t hold a candle to Burnout.

Cheat Code Central
Not only have no changes been made to the gameplay since its release nearly two years ago, but the newly reformatted control scheme just feels unnecessary. Controlling your clunker with the Wii-mote feels overly loose and unresponsive and any other use for the controller just involves shaking the Wii-mote up and down throughout the title's tediously boring mini-games.

Games Radar
Basically, they're hoping Wii owners will pay full price for the same poorly contrived mash-up of driving and minigames that's been collecting dust in the PS2, PSP, and Xbox 360 bargain bins for a while now.
