187 Ride or Die
187 Ride or Die, développé par Ubisoft Paris et édité par Ubisoft Entertainment, est sorti le 23 août 2005 sur PlayStation 2 et Xbox. Ce titre mêlant course et tir place le joueur dans la région de South Central à Los Angeles, où il doit remporter des courses et vaincre ses adversaires à travers différents niveaux pour devenir le « top dog ». La presse a salué un combat automobile divertissant, GameCritics jugeant que le jeu offre suffisamment de variations de véhicules, d'armes et de circuits pour éviter l'ennui, tandis que Xbox World Australia a relevé la qualité des graphismes, la maniabilité et l'intérêt des niveaux dans les drains d'orage. Certains joueurs sur Metacritic ont pour leur part décrit l'expérience comme un bon jeu d'action underground de sa génération, évoquant même un attachement enthousiaste au titre. L'évaluation agrégée du jeu s'établit à 52,79.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« The graphics are great with plenty of detail, you are never fighting the controls, the speed effects and weapons are great and the storm drain levels rock. There are parts of this game that almost make you feel like you're in the middle of some Jerry Bruckheimer movie. »
« The game offers entertaining car combat with enough car, weapon, and track variations to keep players from getting bored. »
« It's got bite, attitude, and is pretty fun. It feels a little repetitive with the track designs, but that gets made up with solid multiplayer and online gaming that always makes things better. Not too bad a game. »
« Fans of the genre and hip-hop alike will enjoy 187: Ride or Die and there's no reason why it shouldn't become a hit for Ubi. Take a little bit of Burnout, add a sprinkling of Twisted Metal and a lot of bad attitude; the result is Ubi's latest, explosive release that maintains the French publisher's commitment to quality. »
« All the machine guns, sawed-offs, and rocket launchers can't save this title. 187 Ride or Die lacks a number of things that could have made this a worthwhile action game so all we're left with is a disappointing racing game. »
« Absolutely rent it for a weekend of mindless fun, but return it and move on. 187 Ride or Die certainly took the best elements of some top-notch titles, but didn't execute any of them in a way not seen before. »
« I did enjoy the escort missions, and the co-op is decent, but they can't hide the fact that 187 is just plain mediocre. [Oct 2005, p.128] »
« No matter how you slice it, it's a sub-standard driving game in the vein of the "Twisted Metal" series without the sense of humor or fun that was found in it. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« game muito bom da sua geração para quem busca ação, carros e uma pegada underground, estilo twisted metal, só que melhor. »
« this game is so good it impregnates you, makes love to you, provides for the family, brings the kids to church, has a stable job, is a good warmhearted civilian, is respectful and kind, and make sure to treat others as you would treat yourself »
« the game is a big troll to the gangsta culture. the campaign is bad. its always the same kind of race with the same weapon . very boring »
« Firstly I have to say, I'm not sure if this game is meant to be serious or satire. everything feels a bit cliche & stereotypical of american gangsta culture and borders on silly at times. From the silly 'Gangsta' car names, to the ridiculous Tutorial. However the game has a charm to it that makes you want to love it. The game is an OK attempt at a 'Burnout' clone with the added element of gun battles. This brings an interesting dynamic to the game and adds that extra challenge to the game to keep it exciting. The Similarities to 'Burnout' are plentiful with the biggest being the 'Takedown' Camera cuts that play when you take a rival out. One thing I'm pleased about is the rubber banding in this game, It's there but it's not as unforgiving as it is in EA's racing series' and makes for a less stressful experience I think the games biggest issue has to be the longevity, I found it gets too samey too quickly and even the different game modes don't help because we've seen them all before in other similar games. Apart from the shooting element, this game really doesn't offer up much that hasn't been done better before. The co-op is a nice touch though, takes me back to my 'Mario Kart: Double Dash' days »
