187 Ride or Die
Ubisoft's new brutal street-racing title, where victory depends on ruthless driving and deadly shooting skills.
Posted by John Grothier - Xbox,PlayStation 2,GameCube,PC - UK and Europe

Ubisoft have announced a new street racing title with a deadly twist. 187 Ride or Die is an urban-themed combat racing game that plunges players into a brutal street-racing gang war, where victory depends on ruthless driving and deadly shooting skills. Due for release this summer on the Xbox, PlayStation 2, GameCube and PC, 187 Ride or Die promises adrenaline-pumping combat-racing action, like nothing we've seen before.

187 Ride or Die tells the story of a reluctant urban hero named Buck (L. Tate), a young man living a thug’s life seething with money, fast cars and beautiful women – with danger lurking around every corner. The game is set in the underworld of Los Angeles, and Buck must defend the territory of his mentor Dupree (G. Black) from a menacing nemesis and his gang of bandit roughriders, led by Cortez (N. Gugliemi), who are determined to take control of the streets.

To add to the game's story, 187 Ride or Die will feature the voices and likenesses of rising young actors including Larenz Tate (Menace II Society, Ray), Noel Gugliemi (Training Day, The Fast and the Furious), and Guerilla Black. The game is being developed by a talented production team that includes Director Ali Kojori (who also collaborated on Def Jam Vandetta, NBA Street, Fight Night, Need for Speed) alongside Creative Director Matty Rich (Straight Out of Brooklyn, The Inkwell).

Put your pedal to the metal as you literally blow your opponents away in non-stop, intense and unique combat-racing action intensified with replay and slow-motion camera effects, and spectacular blur and filter effects. Players will be able to select from a number of unique vehicles - ranging from vintage roadsters to modern muscle cars - drive all, in your quest to rule the streets.

In 187 Ride or Die players will have to take out the opposition with numerous weapons, including an array of pistols, shotguns, and many more to be announced. There will be several different game modes including single player Death Race, Cop Chase and Assassination. Players will also be able to battle with their friends, and foes, on Xbox Live, PlayStation 2 online, and also PC online.

Stay tuned to Silicon Fusion for much more on 187 Ride or Die - as we get it.
