Lowrider Game Announced, Gets Official Bounce

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."

Your distasteful comment just proves how you know absolutley NOTHING about low-rider culture. If you think people are dropping their corolla's and hooking em up with hydrolics, you're sadly mistaken. It is usually American cars actually. And older classic ones....like impala's. The corolla's are more reserved for the import mod scene.

And while nothing is cool about a corolla with a gold package, revving a 4 banger after you've done some work on it can be a lot more fun than you think. Especially when that 4 banger dusts the 5.0 mustang next to you at the light. Don't make ignorant comments about a scene you know nothing about just because you feel that it is not "cool", for it is not your place to judge.
