187 Ride or Die is an action-packed racing game released in 2005, which combines high-speed car races with intense combat. Players engage in dangerous, illegal street races while using a variety of weapons to defeat their opponents. The game adds a twist to the traditional racing genre by allowing the player to take control of both driving and shooting, as they fight to dominate the streets on the gritty urban tracks. The title refers to the slang 'One Eight Seven,' which is the California Penal Code number for homicide, illustrating the game's violent and aggressive style.
