Fun TV show is, unfortunately, too clumsy as a video game.

User Rating: 7 | Pimp My Ride X360
I love the TV show "Pimp my Ride." It's funny, it shows you how they fix up cars, and it always has a good ending. I was really looking forward to this game on the X Box 360. Sad to say, the controls and the map are so poorly designed as to take the whole thing down quite a bit. Even the biggest fans of the series will be hard-pressed to get through this game without shaking their heads.

The car moves like a wooden travesty. It spins and bumps and loses the road at the least provocation. The GPS map, which appears so welcome when you first switch it on, has much less clarity than comparable systems in other driving games. The same blocky picture shows up no matter what you're doing, and there's no way you can get across the city in time to assemble all the things you're supposed to find. You'll crash into so many obstacles, they won't even be fun anymore.

I wish they'd redesign this. It could have been so much better. Instead, they tried to hard to make it look like the Grand Theft Auto or Crazy Taxi series. They didn't have to, because the original "Pimp my Ride" show is a good enough model. Watch that, and enjoy it again. You'll be better off.
