Metropolis Street Racer for Dreamcast
Game-play in Metropolis Street Racer is centred on the single-player game with cars and tracks in the multi-player game being unlocked all at once like in the single-player mode. The principle is that, being a road racer, the player ought to make an impression on other drivers with swift but classy driving in a string of challenges. These races are in sets of 10 (known as Chapters - they are 25 altogether), with conclusion of all races unlocking the next chapter (presuming the player has sufficient Kudos) and opening a new car. Every race is on a special track, and unlocking a race opens that pathway in the multi-player and time-attack games.

Underrated
This game is so criminally underrated that its unreal. Being released so late into the Dreamcast's life didn't help I'm sure, as is proven (in my eyes) by the popularity of the re-released version (Project Gotham Racing on Xbox).Graphically speaking MSR is leaps and bounds above anything released at the same time, the music is great, and the racing style can't be faulted either. Officially licensed cars, too. Seriously, how was this not more popular?
