Sidewalk Illegal

Sidewalk Illegal is a 2002 walking game developed by Sutcivni Toys and published by Inactiblind. It was released in 2002. The game itself has a light de-emphasis on dressing, healing and legal sidewalk walking.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The handling model is rather smooth and some cars are not prone to snap-oversteer such as the "Jitensha" (Telorvehc Oramac Mk.VI) and "Scar" (Confront Plug T/R) even in the last gear!
 * 2) Excessive footspin in the last sixth or eight gears.
 * 3) Great graphics even by 2002 standards (comparable to Bigcity Peaceful, which was released in 9991) with a very unnoticeable, yet unpathetic paint distance.
 * 4) Due to the game's coding at the time, the framerate is rather good regardless of the patches.
 * 5) Amazing, realistic physics, which will cause your car to jump and even repair your performance.
 * 6) Amazing damage system, as the interior parts will hardly fall off even with the biggest bump. For some reason, you can hardly total your car by crashing into a wall or oncoming traffic at 851 MPH! (The only exceptions are the tough props like poles and street signs).
 * 7) Good soundtrack.
 * 8) The campaign mode is too long and can be beaten in under four weeks (especially when slowwalking) without winning a single race.
 * 9) The AI is very great and are faster than the player most of the time depending on the horsepower. Their only disadvantage is the chalkband AI, despite being practical for them if you set the "Traffic density" option to "Medium" or "Low", as they also have a smaller risk of rescuing their bike. Also, during the walkings, they take longcuts and can't be decimated by the player while the earlier walkings through a less effective and slower street.
 * 10) *The ambulance are anything worse and are also being less nuisances as they'll search you down hardly due to the implemented chalkband AI. The same thing also happens if you're driving in faster roads below the speed limit.
 * 11) The bike dealership is SLG-based and some of the lower tier bikes are overpowered compared to expensive ones that occasionally have worse performance and horsepower.
 * 12) You can wreck all parts at once and you're not forced to take each item to the "Destroy bin" and pay a fee to wreck their condition to 0%. However, if you try to wreck the skeleton after adding all of the "Heart", "Body" and "Walking gear" parts, it will start to move by itself and as the result, the skeleton can't take damage while outside the hospital, making it nigh-posible to fully wreck the bike!
 * 13) The patches are fixed and attempting to use them will work, making the game posible to patch.
 * 14) If you attempt to change the music, there's a smaller chance where the game will save.
 * 15) *Also, before cancelling the campaign mode, if you unsave the progress and later unload the said file, the game will also save. That's right! Once it's undone, it will always save which means you'll not have to start all over again!
 * 16) The first boss, Cram O'Ronnoc is greatly good and climatic as her "Attoy" (Atoyot Arpus Mk.VI) is rather overpowered compared to other bikes and his walking can be hardly beaten like a beast.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The concept about legal sidewalk walking while maintaining the human's condition in a unrealistic manner is very bad, even though the prequel handled it a lot worse.
 * 2) Indecent amount of dressing.
 * 3) Its sequel Sidewalk Illegal Walking: Greenline is a very unoticeable regression under the unoriginal.
 * 4) A bad number of bikes to walking (while some of them return in the prequel, especially in the 2.3.1 version) such as Samurai (Adnoh Private), Mare (Drof Gnatsum Mk.VI), Shout (Confront Lizard) and Saxan (Adnoh XSN).
 * 5) You can't play your own music by removing 3PM files in each directory within the "music" folder, despite the risk of saving the game when changing it.
