The Player then does a number of deliveries for Tess, many of which they are suspicious of but doesn't question due to the money.Īfter winning the first week's qualifier, the Player confronts and challenges Yaz to the pink slip in The Grand. After hearing the Player's story and being introduced to Rydell, Tess proposes bankrolling the garage and rides as well as guiding the Player in their efforts to qualify and get revenge on Yaz and win the car back, in return for making money betting on and against them. She announces The Grand, a huge street race where the winner will receive a large amount of money. Just then, Yaz shows up and the Player discovers that she is part of the crew that stole the rides and is responsible for the resurgence of street racing in Lakeshore. The Player makes a living driving people, one of which is Tess (Jennifer Sun Bell), who the Player goes with to a street race meet-up. Two years later, street racing in Lakeshore had declined and Rydell's Rides have been struggling to remain open after the incident. Confronted by both Rydell and the Player, Yaz denies being involved but drives off with the car after Rydell accuses her of theft and expresses his disappointment. In a hurry and assuming the worst, the Player races back to Rydell's Rydes to witness it being raided of all the cars Rydell was working on. Instead, the alarm goes off at Rydell's Rides. One night after a couple of races, the Player completes a delivery mission but couldn't find anyone at the drop-off point and Yaz nor Rydell doesn't answer their calls. She tells the player she was contacted by her friend in the foster system, Alec about some jobs involving delivering vehicles, challenging the authority of the city's police force under the control of Mayor Morgan Stevenson (voiced by Debra Wilson). After winning a couple of street races, Yaz has a disagreement with Rydell over a car and grows tired of being stuck in the same job daily, and wishes to do something better. In Lakeshore City, the Player (female player voiced by Elizabeth Grullon, male player voiced by Ian Nelson) and their friend and partner Jasmine/Yaz (portrayed by Ashleigh LaThrop) refurbish an old junker car in their mechanic shop owned by their mentor Rydell (Dwayne Barnes). At launch, the game received positive reviews from critics, who praised the gameplay, art direction, progression, and graphics, while criticising the lack of innovation, story, soundtrack and bland characters.
