Each of the four stages you progress through in career mode features several stages inspired by various sections of Los Angeles, including downtown, the San Diego Freeway, Palos Verdes Drive, and Bel Air. Yes, in LASR, Bel Air is apparently one of the hotbeds of the hardcore street racing scene. Proving the developers have never stepped foot in Los Angeles--or at least they didn't have the time to fully flesh out the environments--there is no foot or street traffic to contend with in the game. Sure, there are cars parked on the side of the road periodically, but no traffic beyond you and your opponent. And while the environments don't look bad, and some of the tracks feature nice designs, the nighttime setting tends to become monotonous after a while. Would it have killed them to include a sunlit, high-speed jaunt down Highway 1? Car models are generally OK; if a bit on the generic side, though the in-car view features some laughably bad rear-view and side mirrors that reflect what appears to be a single texture, rendering them effectively useless.
Though the game features exhibition, time trials, and online multiplayer racing for up to eight drivers, you'll find most of the limited fun offered by LASR in its single-player experience. Curiously, we weren't able to actually enter any of the time trial events--the game claimed that every car we had required more upgrading. Then, once we finished the single-player game, we tried again, but LASR informed us that we had already completed all the time trials available. Other strange bugs we found in the game were the periodic inability to quit out of online races, as well as opponent cars that simply stopped after a crash and refused to start racing again.
The bottom line is that LASR looks and plays too much like a budget game for its own good. Thanks to a decent driving model, you can overlook the game's unsophisticated take on the City of Angels. However, when coupled with its lazy design and a number of poorly implemented features, LASR's problems glare like high beams in your rear-view mirror.
