Pimp My Ride is a bad game, but worth a rent if you want to laugh at the game with some friends.
Gameplay/Story:
You are this guy that looks like Fred Durst, and you play in Pimp City (not kidding, the city doesn't look as appealing as it sounds) where you scrap the whole Westcoast and GAS scene, and you pimp up cars constantly by doing the lamest minigames ever.
First, you see XZibit announcing that he'll pimp a ride, then you get to see teenage people go into somekind of seizure about their ride before and afterwards, its not even rewarding or anything.
The minigames and gameplay is the worst aspect of the game, but it'll make you laugh in some moments, like in Ghost Riding the Whip: You are this guy who lets his car drive on the road, while you stand next to it and dance, and you'll see a whole street of people constantly waiting for you to do it, do these people have nothing else to do?
Theres this Holla mini-game, which is stupid, you basicly ride slowly in a street while a group of people start cheering as you drive next to them, then you tap 3 buttons and thats it.
The driving in the game is better, once you pimped up a drive, you can ram other people of the road, if I had a pimped up ride, I'd also slam into everything I see, but yeah, the controls are slippery and the slightest bump can get you're cars front stuck to something.
Its basicly see some lame cutscene, drive a car to multiple shops and on the way you smash cars and get coins for it, then you use those coins to do minigames that gets you the pimping parts, and then do the same thing over and over again, and on the last part some teenager will go in seizure over his/her new car.
Graphics/Sound:
Tho, the graphics looks swell, characters in cutscenes and in gameplay lack in facial features on in designs, there are about only 20-25 different NPC's walking around in Pimp Town.
Sound is better tho, in the game you can listen to XZibits new album, which can be good if you like his music, but the game doesn't have anything else.
Is it a good Mini-games collection:
No, you can get a few laughs about it, but thats everything, gameplay is slippery and the mini-games suck!
Also, did somebody wonder why people live in Pimp town? I'd move to a better place or jump off the nearest cliff.
