Game Description
Experience the genesis of modern street racing with Metropolis Street Racer, Bizarre Creations’ ambitious Dreamcast exclusive that blends open-world urban environments with precision-focused racing. You’re not just racing—you’re building your reputation by weaving through iconic cityscapes in San Francisco, London, and Tokyo, all recreated with stunning detail and dynamic day‑night cycles tied to your Dreamcast clock.
The innovative "Kudos" system rewards you not just for speed, but for style—drift corners, execute clean passes, and rack up flair points to unlock new cars and tracks. With over 260 distinct routes derived from real-world city blocks, MSR emphasizes finesse and mastery, challenging you to race like a pro rather than just drive fast.
Built on vivid fictional radio stations with original soundtrack compositions by Richard Jacques, MSR offers a polished and atmospheric racing experience. The combination of tight control physics, real-world visuals, and a sense of progression makes it one of the most memorable and collectible top-tier racers in the Dreamcast library.

- Original in-game radio stations hosting licensed and composed music, introducing DJs between races
- Progression-based car customization system: unlock and personalize vehicles via Kudos achievements
Historical Trivia or Fun Fact
Bizarre Creations—founded in Liverpool in 1994 from the earlier “Raising Hell” team—rose to prominence with Formula 1 and Fur Fighters, but Metropolis Street Racer marked their leap into console racing innovation. Its nuanced city environments, real-time lighting effects, and Kudos system laid the groundwork for their acclaimed Project Gotham Racing series on Xbox.
Though it didn’t achieve major sales due to Dreamcast’s imminent demise, MSR earned critical acclaim and cult followings. The studio went on to evolve its design philosophy into the Project Gotham franchise, which became a staple of Xbox racing until the studio’s acquisition by Activision in 2007.
