Editorial Review
Fast-paced, arcade-style driving action hits the Dreamcast in the form of Ubi Soft's Speed Devils--only this time, it's personal. The first thing you'll notice is the game's emphasis on presenting recognizable rivals throughout the races. Instead of competing against faceless "computer" foes, you meet 17 rival drivers with distinct personalities; these defining characteristics come out in their driving tendencies. Yu Kioto's calm demeanor, for example, is reflected in his calculated, mistake-free driving. It's a cool feature that gives the single-player game depth: you not only have to handle wacky obstacles as you roar around the track, but you have to handle each driver differently. Speed Devils sports three gameplay modes: arcade, championship, and multiplayer. While the multiplayer mode lets you take on a friend in several different challenges and races, the meat of the gameplay is in the championship mode. The goal here is to progress through several driving classes. Each race nets you prize money, augmented by any side bets or special missions you've agreed to perform. Use the money to buy a better car or improve the one you've got; all the upgrades help you win more races, which moves you farther up the ranks and closer to your eventual goal of taking down the mysterious Driver X. With wild tracks and gameplay that radiates with personality, Speed Devils is an expansive and delightful racer. --Sajed Ahmed Pros: - Weather effects during racing, including rain, snow, fog, and even seasonal changes
- 2-player versus mode lets you take on a friend in split-screen racing action
- The deep championship mode will keep you busy for a long time
- Realistic reflections on the cars and refined texturing around the tracks
Cons: - If you're into driving realism, the wacky cars and tracks may not appeal
- At times, cars can seem detached from the driving surface

Speed Devils December 23, 2001
I reccomend Speed Devils to anyone who is up to a fun gaming challenge. This game allows you to accept bets and buy and upgrade cars with the money you earn by winning races. You can also use that money to buy tires and other things to be more equipped for your race. THIS IS A GREAT GAME
Just Plain Fun November 15, 2001
This game rocks. First of all, you have great graphics. Ubisoft did a great job getting the road conditions down and the affect of the tires on different surfaces. And the skies are just as though you were there (my favorite is the Hollywood level at sunset). I don't know what the Amazon reviewer was on when he said the car tires seemed to levitate off the ground, probably a glitch in the demo he tested--besides who cares? Second, you start at the bottom of the competition and have to work your way up, making for at least a modest challenge for even a gaming expert. Third, you have got to love the choices in cars and the ultimate challenge of getting the priceless Mistique, which you can only get by beating Driver X (supposedly the toughest driver to beat) in a Vendetta challenge. Finally, you get to repair your car, sell it for cash, bet other drivers to see who can beat whom, and receive cash for busting radars in races! If you are someone looking for plain racing fun with some replay value, definately purchase this game, especially at under 10 bucks, you can't go wrong.
