==Gameplay==

===Development===
+
''Metropolis Street Racer'' is a racing game set in a urban environment with slight open-world elements, playable with either 1 or 2 players. ''MSR'' includes many features, such as using the Dreamcast's real time clock for calculating the present time in each of the 3 cities, online functionality via Seganet or Dreamarena, and most importantly, the "Kudos" system. The game is divided into three game modes: Street Racing, Time Attack, and Quick Race.
−
''MSR''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> origins date back to 1997 when [[Sega]]'s [[Kats Sato]] was tasked with finding out who had developed the [[PlayStation]] games ''Formula 1'' and ''Formula 1 Championship Edition'' for [[Sony Computer Entertainment]]. Reportedly Sato purposely pulled the power cable at a display at [[E3 1996]] to see the game's intoductory credits{{magref|edge|72|46}}, and, upon discovering the team was [[Bizarre Creations]], a meeting was arranged with [[Kazutoshi Miyake]] in an attempt to get the team to produce games for Sega instead.
+
 
 +
===Game modes===
 +
====Street Racing====
 +
'''Street Racing''' is MSR's main game mode, where the player drives their cars in a number of "challenges" in an attempt to score "Kudos", the game's credit system. Depending on the player's driving style, Kudos can be earned in three different categories: skill by winning and performing well in races, beating the fastest times set for the lap; style, which involves driving "stylishly", such as skidding, doing huge powerslides and driving clean and stylish laps; and lastly, gambling, which can be done when retrying an already completed race.
 +
 
 +
There are several types of challenges:
 +
*Hotlap (HL): Complete a lap within a specified time
 +
*Timed Run (TR): Complete all laps within a specified time
 +
*Challenge (CH): Miscellaneous "challenges" that need to be completed in a specified time, either
 +
**Overtake a set number of cars
 +
**Achieve a set speed
 +
**Lap an opponent
 +
*One on One (OO): Race against a single opponent vehicle
 +
*Street Race (SR): Race against a field of up to five other racers
 +
*Championship (CS): A series of 2-5 street races, with points awarded on the place finished per race
 +
 
 +
Challenges are grouped into "chapters". Once all 25 chapters are completed, the game ends.
 +
 
 +
===Vehicles===
 +
''MSR'' contains over 50 officially licensed cars (and some secret cars) from a variety of manufacturers, including [[Alfa Romeo]], [[Audi]], [[Fiat]], [[Ford]], [[Jensen]], [[Mazda]], [[Mercedes-Benz]], [[MG]], [[Mitsubishi]], [[Nissan]], [[Opel]], [[Peugeot]], [[Renault]], [[Toyota]] and [[TVR]]. Each car has its own Car Performance Factor — abbreviated as ''CPF'' — which is used for measuring the overall performance of the car, and for calculating the Kudos earned with it.
 +
 
 +
Paint colours, window tints and the style of the license plate can be changed by the user, and in the case of convertibles, whether the roof is retracted.

Sega initially wanted the team to work on [[Sega Saturn]] titles, but the plea was rebuffed{{magref|edge|72|46}}. Bizarre Creation's head, Martyn Chudley, however kept in contact, and was won over when Sega demonstrated a prototype Dreamcast (then codenamed Dural){{magref|edge|72|46}}. Bizarre weren't keen on the original proposal to create more Formula One games, but agreed to make a "serious city-based game with real cars"{{magref|edge|72|47}}.
+
Every new save file starts with the first three cars already unlocked. New cars are unlocked in ''MSR'' by completing chapters or special events.
  
−
''MSR'' entered production while the console was still being developed{{magref|nextgeneration|55|32}}, which led to numerous engine revisions as the Dreamcast SDKs matured{{magref|edge|72|48}}

''Metropolis Street Racer'' had an extremely rocky development cycle, being announced well in advance of the Dreamcast's Western launch and repeatedly missing deadlines over the course of a year. It was reportedly the first Dreamcast project to be started in the United Kingdom{{magref|arcade|7|13}}.
+
===Locations===
 +
As the name suggests, racing in ''Metropolis Street Racer'' takes place in the ''streets'' of three ''metropolises''; San Francisco (United States), London (United Kingdom) and Tokyo (Japan), with layouts that mimic their real-world counterparts (albeit with some creative liberties).
  
−
While initially aimed at the Dreamcast European launch date (1999-09-28 as it was then){{magref|nextgeneration|55|32}}, the game did not materialise fully until November 2000, at a time when Dreamcast sales were on the decline.
+
However, rather than map vast areas of land, the cities are sub-divided into key locations, which are then used to map a variety of course configurations. This method means that although configurations will often share streets, there is enough variation to ensure no two challenges use the same layout (at least, driving in the same direction).
  
−
Thirty hours of real-life footage from the streets of London, Tokyo and San Francisco were captured in order to create accurate representations of the host cities{{magref|edge|72|47}}{{magref|nextgeneration|55|32}}, as well as 32,000{{magref|nextgeneration|55|32}}{{magref|edge|72|47}}-35,000 photographs{{magref|egm|132|64}}. Initially the team wanted to let players drive down every street, but to maintain the same level of accuracy across the experience, the task proved too daunting{{magref|edge|72|48}}. Some of these roads are partially modelled in the final game, but are blocked off by invisible walls.
+
In addition, ''MSR'' incorporates time of day changes and weather effects, which can affect visibility or handling. The time of day is determined by the Dreamcast's clock; players are asked for their time zone at the beginning of the game, and the position of the sun in the three cities is adjusted accordingly.
  
−
The cars in ''Metropolis Street Racer'' are officially licensed and are designed around real specifications supplied by manufacturers{{magref|edge|72|49}}. The use of licensed cars, however, meant that none of the vehicles were allowed to be deformable{{magref|edge|72|48}}. The physics model is mostly accurate, but the handling was slightly adjusted to make the game more fun{{magref|edge|72|49}}.

Development on a Japanese release was started but never completed. It remained in the Japanese release schedules for more than a year and was even given a dedicated website{{ref|https://web.archive.org/web/20010629222758/http://www.sega.co.jp/dreamcast/software/msr/}} but never made it to retail.

''Metropolis Street Racer'' originally launched in PAL regions with a number of bugs, so much so that the game was recalled and Sega felt the need to issue replacement discs (the later North American version is the bug-fixed version, although not all the bugs were actually fixed). A replay option, included in review copies of the game, was scrapped at the last minute due to time restraints.

A third revision of the game (which the North American version is based on) fixes further bugs, although many still remain.
  
 
Despite initially high expectations, ''MSR'' sold 101,757 units in the U.S. through January 2003 according to NPD Group. In the UK 13,297 were sold in the week ending November 4th, 2000 according to Chart-Track. In Germany it debuted at number one in Media Control's November 2000 Dreamcast chart. Martyn Chudley described releasing the game exclusively on the Dreamcast at this time was like "The Beatles exclusively selling The White Album on Mars". £1 million of Bizarre Creations' own money went into the project, and although the team was happy to port the game to the [[PlayStation 2]], management at Sega declined the offer.

Bizarre Creations would use what they learned through ''Metropolis Street Racer'' to create their line of ''Project Gotham Racing'' games for the [[Xbox]]/[[Xbox 360]] which are seen as a spiritual successors.

Bizarre Creations would use what they learned through ''Metropolis Street Racer'' to create their line of ''Project Gotham Racing'' games for the [[Xbox]] and [[Xbox 360]]. The original ''Project Gotham Racing'' in particular, which would debut in November 2001, is extremely similar to ''Metropolis Street Racer'', sharing many of the same cars and tracks, but updating assets and adding more content. It is also the more forgiving game (for example, while the concept of "Kudos" remains, there is no means of "losing" it in ''PGR'').
 +
 
 +
2003's ''Project Gotham Racing 2'', however, is a cleaner departure with a new set of locations, as would be the case for future sequels.

    Metropolis Street Racer, known as Metropolis during development and frequently listed simply as MSR, is a racing game developed by Bizarre Creations for the Sega Dreamcast. Highly praised at the time of release, MSR was often considered to be the Dreamcast's answer to the PlayStation's Gran Turismo racing series, as it has over 250 circuits (set in real-world locations) and numerous officially licensed cars.

    Gameplay

    Metropolis Street Racer is a racing game set in a urban environment with slight open-world elements, playable with either 1 or 2 players. MSR includes many features, such as using the Dreamcast's real time clock for calculating the present time in each of the 3 cities, online functionality via Seganet or Dreamarena, and most importantly, the "Kudos" system. The game is divided into three game modes: Street Racing, Time Attack, and Quick Race.

    Game modes

    Street Racing

    Street Racing is MSR's main game mode, where the player drives their cars in a number of "challenges" in an attempt to score "Kudos", the game's credit system. Depending on the player's driving style, Kudos can be earned in three different categories: skill by winning and performing well in races, beating the fastest times set for the lap; style, which involves driving "stylishly", such as skidding, doing huge powerslides and driving clean and stylish laps; and lastly, gambling, which can be done when retrying an already completed race.

    There are several types of challenges:

    • Hotlap (HL): Complete a lap within a specified time
    • Timed Run (TR): Complete all laps within a specified time
    • Challenge (CH): Miscellaneous "challenges" that need to be completed in a specified time, either
      • Overtake a set number of cars
      • Achieve a set speed
      • Lap an opponent
    • One on One (OO): Race against a single opponent vehicle
    • Street Race (SR): Race against a field of up to five other racers
    • Championship (CS): A series of 2-5 street races, with points awarded on the place finished per race

    Challenges are grouped into "chapters". Once all 25 chapters are completed, the game ends.

    Vehicles

    MSR contains over 50 officially licensed cars (and some secret cars) from a variety of manufacturers, including Alfa Romeo, Audi, Fiat, Ford, Jensen, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, MG, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Renault, Toyota and TVR. Each car has its own Car Performance Factor — abbreviated as CPF — which is used for measuring the overall performance of the car, and for calculating the Kudos earned with it.

    Paint colours, window tints and the style of the license plate can be changed by the user, and in the case of convertibles, whether the roof is retracted.

    Every new save file starts with the first three cars already unlocked. New cars are unlocked in MSR by completing chapters or special events.

    Locations

    As the name suggests, racing in Metropolis Street Racer takes place in the streets of three metropolises; San Francisco (United States), London (United Kingdom) and Tokyo (Japan), with layouts that mimic their real-world counterparts (albeit with some creative liberties).

    However, rather than map vast areas of land, the cities are sub-divided into key locations, which are then used to map a variety of course configurations. This method means that although configurations will often share streets, there is enough variation to ensure no two challenges use the same layout (at least, driving in the same direction).

    In addition, MSR incorporates time of day changes and weather effects, which can affect visibility or handling. The time of day is determined by the Dreamcast's clock; players are asked for their time zone at the beginning of the game, and the position of the sun in the three cities is adjusted accordingly.

    History

    Development

    Main article: Metropolis Street Racer/Development.

    Release

    Metropolis Street Racer originally launched in PAL regions with a number of bugs, so much so that the game was recalled and Sega felt the need to issue replacement discs. A third revision of the game (which the North American version is based on) fixes further bugs, although many still remain.

    Despite initially high expectations, MSR sold 101,757 units in the U.S. through January 2003 according to NPD Group. In the UK 13,297 were sold in the week ending November 4th, 2000 according to Chart-Track. In Germany it debuted at number one in Media Control's November 2000 Dreamcast chart. Martyn Chudley described releasing the game exclusively on the Dreamcast at this time was like "The Beatles exclusively selling The White Album on Mars". £1 million of Bizarre Creations' own money went into the project, and although the team was happy to port the game to the PlayStation 2, management at Sega declined the offer.

    Bizarre Creations would use what they learned through Metropolis Street Racer to create their line of Project Gotham Racing games for the Xbox and Xbox 360. The original Project Gotham Racing in particular, which would debut in November 2001, is extremely similar to Metropolis Street Racer, sharing many of the same cars and tracks, but updating assets and adding more content. It is also the more forgiving game (for example, while the concept of "Kudos" remains, there is no means of "losing" it in PGR).

    2003's Project Gotham Racing 2, however, is a cleaner departure with a new set of locations, as would be the case for future sequels.
