SRS: Street Racing Syndicate is an arcade racing game that features more than 50 licensed cars, which can be tuned with licensed tuning parts. The player races on tracks situated in Los Angeles, Miami and Philadelphia, both during daylight and at night. It's also possible to date 18 cute models, each with their own video clips.
The game offers two main modes: Street Mode and Arcade Mode. In Street Mode, there are three types of awards: money, respect, and girls. Money is necessary to buy cars, tuning parts, and place bets, and can be earned by winning races and collecting prizes and bets. Respect points allow the player to progress in the game (i.e., unlock races). The last type of award, girls, will date the player if they win a respect challenge.
Arcade Mode offers four types of races: Quick Race, Checkpoint Run, Ironman, and Speed Trial. In Street Challenges, the player can drive point-to-point races against another car, where the winner takes the bet. Alternatively, the player can just cruise around the town in Cruise Zone.
SRS: Street Racing Syndicate also features six multiplayer modes that can be played over LAN or on Internet using GameSpy Arcade. These include Quick Race, Collection Race, Team Collection Race, Team Time Race, Team Position Race, and Pink Slip Race.
