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.
Contents
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.

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.
