Pimp My Ride? Oui s'il vous plaît!

This game astutely reflects the modern era in the video game format. Not only has it captured the life of the common "hood", but it has also illustrated the complexity of modifying one's vehicle.
I highly regard this game as well as Lucha Libre: Heroes del Ring. As a minority myself (male, caucasian), I find myself drawn to these games like a horse to water or a cow to pasture.
The mini-game feature allows enormous quantities of fun to be had. For those interested in "Ghost Riding" their "whips" this game should serve as a springboard for your creative needs.
I know what you're thinking, and it pains me to relegate this masterpiece to the lowly level of "9". But there is one grievance I hold against the creators of "Pimp My Ride". The game simply did not quench my proverbial thirst, in that it was far too hasty. The game clearly could have gone on for a millennia and I would have been over the moon with delight.
In closing, bravo to the creative development department at MTV Studios for they have birthed a game that will stand the test of time for its verisimilitude despite its foibles.
A reluctant 9/10.
