Lowrider Game Announced, Gets Official Bounce

Posted by simoniker on from the b-b-b-b-bounce dept.

Thanks to IGN Wire for hosting the press release announcing the November release of Jaleco's PS2 rhythm-action Lowrider game, as well as the official hookup with industry bible, Lowrider Magazine. According to the release, "Lowrider simulates the American phenomenon of lowriding by putting into the gamers' hands the ability to purchase and upgrade cars, install major hydraulics and choose or create detailed artistry to compete against other vehicles in hops, dances and cruise shows" and there's a selection of screenshots on GameSpot, as well as a preview of the already-released Japanese version.

    Seriosly, i have no problem with tricked out cars, but riding around in a toyota carolla with the gold package does not make you cool. Neiter does revving the 4 cylinder engine and squealing the tires in the parking lot.

      revving a 4 banger after you've done some work on it can be a lot more fun than you think
      Damn right. My '71 VW bus was a monster after I put those dual Porsche carbs on it...

      Seriously, "distateful comment?" He's absolutely right. Squeeling your tires in the parking lot (no matter engine size or car make) is just like standing on the hood of your car and dropping trou. "Look at me! Look at me!"

    Seems like this is about as interesting to the average slashdoter as the Barbie Makeup and Hair Studio.
