Game Review 1 (written by Yowzayowza) Added on: 11/09/2007
Street Rod 2 is a fantastic and addictive game ever! Money is earned by challenging drivers to a variety of races, including road obstacles and drag races. Your winnings can later be spent on better parts or eventually a better vehicle! Should you be game, you can risk your own vehicle in order to obtain your opponents. This is a very good way of earning fast cash, but alas the risk can leave you vehicle-less, which actually can lead to a game over if you haven't got enough cash to scrape together for an old bomb.

The graphics are colorful clear visuals and nice car models. A very nice touch is the visible effects that car modifications have on the vehicles. It's highly satisfying seeing your supercharger pop out beyond the bonnet on your Dodge Viper.
The music is well and melodious!
The concept of the game is very simple and there isn't really much of a story line to follow, other than a couple of "heated" rivalries with some drivers, but there's enough here to maintain interest. The driving mechanics are fun but pretty hard to control, unless you stick to drag races. When you're driving, the car looks like its stationary while the road moves so it's tough to know when a corner is coming up until you're actually in

it! Once you've mastered it though, you'll have a pretty easy time of beating the other races, with the right car that is.
Many, many options in terms of car customization keep the game from getting stale too quickly. You'll have to be clever about the way you drive your vehicle or you could end up overheating your engine or blowing your transmission. You can even set your gear ratio to get peak performance out of your car.
Street Rod 2 is a very entertaining game that one can spend hours attending to the needs of their dream car. It's easy to pickup and race straight away so it caters for those who aren't so into the idea of tinkering beneath the bonnet. I highly recommend downloading it immediately! I’m sure you’ll be satisfied and delighted!

Game Review 2 (written by W_tiger05) Added on: 11/18/2006
This is has been one of my favorite games ever since I found it on my grandmother's computer back in the early '90s... In the game, you start off with $1200 to buy a car from the local newspaper. After which, you can customize it with a bigger engine, larger racing slicks, new glass pack mufflers, headers, even a chopped top!
Once you have bought a car, your next ask is to head to the coolest hang out spot in town, the burger stand, and find opponents to race for money and fame... If you are lucky, you will be able to challenge "King", the guy with the coolest car in town...
The controls are very simple, most of the game uses a mouse-type interface, and the driving portion uses the arrow keys to move, and the space bar to shift. This is definitely a game that you can enjoy playing time, and time- again, and that can break the barriers of time and age... The graphics are not that great by today's standards, but they are well executed and detailed considering the time frame that the game was made...
It is definitely a credit to the California Dreams gaming staff... you should definitely download this game, it has brought me years of enjoyment, and it will bring the same to you...

This is an awesome game! I like building up to get the most expensive cars with the most expensive add-ons. You can beat anybody then!

A must download if you cant afford GT4. Beats the heck out of my NFS 1 and NFS 2 games and comes close to NFS 3. Its almost as Realistic as Reality!, except you can do it while in a comfortable computer chair.

This is a very excellent game. Unfortunately it’s very hard. There are many options as far as a beginning "car modder" game style. And there are very fun ones that are fun even now. Has a moderate amount of realism as far as cars and mods. I consider this a very fun game for its time.

Challenging game even by today's standards. Beat the King twice, once in a Shelby then with the Vette but it definitely wasn't easy.

Much like the first part, but harder. MUCH harder. If You really enjoy hard games then this is the right one for You. Still the same - buy a car, earn money, buy better car and defeat the final opponent. I'm not sure if it's The King again, 'cause I just couldn't get even close to him!
