Pros: Too easy

Cons: Lots

The story mode, which sees you as a nameless kid from the 'hood working his way through the West Coast lowriding circuit, is broken up into a series of different regional competitions and a customization mode. There's the hop contest, where y...ou and another lowrider have a minute to get your front bumper as high off the ground as possible by using your hydraulics. In the dance contests, you and another lowrider will be given a series of different tricks to pull off, and you'll be scored based on your performance of each. There's also a street mode, where you'll cruise down a strip while pedestrians shout out moves they want to see. If you pull off the moves successfully, the pedestrians will become fans, and fans can net you bonus points in the event competitions later on. The dance contests start off simple enough, with basic moves like the front hop and the rear hop requiring a single button press, but as you advance, the dancing gets more complex, like the octopus move, which requires you to smoothly hop from one wheel to another in a circular motion. Once you've completed the dance, hop, and street contests in a region, you'll be able to compete in the main event, which is series of three consecutive dance contests that you'll need to win in order to advance to the next city.
