I would have assumed this was some sort of off-beat sequel to Streets of Rage, if I didn’t know any better. However, this game is far from a beat-e’m-up. In fact, it’s a street racer that’s a lot like Need for Speed. To clarify that point better, it’s all about illegal street racing, and we have some screens to prove it.

Racing in an underground league; competing for money, for cars, for your life. Urban Extreme is another do-or-die racer that pits players against tough competition, dangerous corners and deadly speed traps. You can check out a quick fact list below:

• 32 Unique playable and un-lockable vehicle designs.

• 16 level choices and Cup challenge modes set in a gritty urban environment.

• Test your nerve and take out the most cars with explosive results in Carnage Mode.

• Split screen multiplayer support with widescreen, and hires progressive scan modes.

• Career mode: Spend your hard earned prize money to buy new cars and enter more lucrative, exclusive challenges.

If your interested has been fondled with curiosity, then let your interest take it to second base, and check out the screenshots below. I’ll be honest, the game doesn’t look all that magnificent (it is on the Wii after all). But for those of you who may be hungry for some multiplayer, street racing action, the game may not be that bad.
