Brief synopsis of Pimp My Ride

Pimp My Ride, as any young hipster knows, is that faintly ridiculous television programme in which lucky viewers' old bangers are taken away by rap star Xzibit and his associates and - for want of a better phrase - tarted up a bit. In modern parlance, that's tricked out, bwoy! Ahem

In Pimp My Ride, the game, as in the TV show, bling is king. Taking a battered old AMC Pacer and giving it a two-tone metallic paint finish and a change of oil is simply not enough. Xzibit and pals seemingly have no boundaries (in cash outlay, taste - you name it) as far as transforming a vehicle is concerned, and so it is with the game. Of course, to go with the modified motors, you also get the other accoutrements: bangin', bass-heavy chewns, urban yout' representation, and all the sights and sounds that you might expect from a modern, urban take on rags to riches.

Some delightful luxury items are on offer with which to pimp your ride. LCD flat screen TV's, the shiniest of shiny rims, scaled down bucking bronco unitsthe list goes on. And then there's the racing element of Pimp My Ride. Style matters alright, but doesn't count for everything, and as with any other videogame with motors in it, racing also comes into the equation. You can take your modified monster for a spin through free-roaming environments with evocative names such as New Wave Beach, Hip-Hop Heights and Downtown Metro.

Rated - 3 starsRepetitive!!

kjah from Swanley, Kent [Highly rated reviewer] , 05/06/2007

Just like the other reviews, I have to agree - this game is very repetitive. Personally, I did enjoy this game, but you are doing the same things over and over again, and it gets very boring. It does remind me a little of 'Crazy Taxi' with how the cars handle and how you drive the cars, but there are not many mini games inside the game to complete and it is pretty much the same thing. This game is totally worth a rent - but I would not recommend you to buy it.

I ALSO AGREE, I RENTED THIS GAME UNDER THE PRE-TENSES THAT IT WOULD BE KINDA FUN, I THOUGHT THIS COS X ZIBIT IS A FUNNY GUY AND THE SHOW IS GREAT!!!

IT ARRIVED AND I ENJOYED THE FIRST FIVE SECONDS OF IT, TRUST ME THIS GAME IS A SHOCKER BEYOND BELIEF. SO REPETITIVE, NOT PROPER STORY LINE

MY GOD

DO NOT RENT OR BUY, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.

This game sucked so bad my 7 year old wouldn't even touch it.

I was hoping this was going to be more along the line of need for speed underground regarding the stuff you can do to cars etc but this was utter pish. You have to race from point to point to get upgrades etc for the car but 1stof you must get certain amounts of money by crashing etc but the cars handle more like the Simpson's road and the graphics are not much better either

Rated - 1 starNot what expected

Geoff Middleton from Wirral , 24/03/2007

I played this game for about 4 hours. Although it was quite addictive, the graphics really let the game down. I felt like i was back on my PS one. The expressions on the characters faces, made them look like they were all stoned out of their heads.I expected the game to be a little bit more about Customising the cars but its more like a need for speed without the ability to race and choose multiple upgrades. By all means rent the game but if i was you dont buy it, you would be wasting your money
