The game's graphics are simply not up to snuff with the competition. The chunky cityscapes are barren and unrealistic. Some of the building textures are decent, as are the cars themselves, but I can find little else to recommend. And don't be fooled by the 3Dfx sticker, the implementation of hardware acceleration and graphical enhancements in Streets are some of the worst that I've seen. While the 3Dfx graphics are certainly an improvement over those in the software mode, the game simply doesn't stretch the limit or take full advantage of the card's capabilities.
Explosions are ugly and look more like showers of confetti than respectable fireballs.
This, coupled with the lousy gameplay results in a fatal combination. Road Slug Also troubling is the game's poor performance. A good frame rate is essential in driving games for the illusion of speed, but Streets does not deliver. Even on a P200 MMX with 32 MB of RAM and an 3Dfx accelerator, the driving was quite choppy. The game stutters every few seconds even with no other vehicles on screen.
