Never in my life have I heard such horrible dialogue in a video game . It's pathetic how the developer of this game make sure the game will sell by adding this street flavor to it . But unlike games like Nba street, and Def Jam this game fails to do it . The game story is said in the title ; Ride or die . Aperrantly you are forced to work with a Biggie wannabe in order to survive . So your either have to ride on these street races, or you will die . And there starts the single player mode .

You will have to participate in these street events that you must win or die ( but you can always hit the retry button ) The competition consist from a little map in which then you will enter the competition . And that's it for the single player . Bland story, and bad single player mode . Almost as bad as the gameplay itself . There are few cars to choose from ok so this game is trying to beat out twisted metal the least it could have done is bring more distinct cars .

The game is repetitive as it can be . Start the race, hit turbo, pick up
the few weapons the game has, try to take down the other cars, and wait till they catch you . Seriously it doesn't matter if your 5 seconds away, one bad turn, and wala the other cars will pass you ... unbalanced game ! In some aspect it want's to be like GTA at this point in age what game doesn't ? In others like burnout, other elements to twisted metal, but it fails to produce even one good aspect in the gameplay that compares to those games .

The game is just way to repetitive Even with online, Car combat mode, and Police chasing you down mode ? After my first time of playing each and everyone of the modes I got bored by the second time . Plus online isn't that engaging at all . The cars look average, plus the design is really poor . CG graphics are good as well, but the enviournments in every single city ... well the same .

The music is straight up hip-hop which isn't a problem for me, because I love hip-hop, but where the game really drops the ball terribly is in the ridiculous, dretful, annoying, just bad dialogue in the voice overs . Because the game try's so hard to be this hardcore thug game that they add terrible dialogue to the game . Some examples are ; Race these bustas, you did you G' dizzle, Now peep this gang'sta . Those are the only ones I could write cause it's an embarrassment not only for hip-hop fans, but to people who
actually live in the hood .

overall : If your looking to fill your collection with another GTA clone jump right in I think you have about 1,000 of those . Otherwise this game is terrible, and I don't see the point of anyone renting it or God let it not be buying it unless you just wan't to laugh at the game which you are bound to be laughing at it from beggining to end .
