Pimp My Ride now pimping on Xbox 360

MTV and Activision today said Pimp My Ride was now available for the Xbox 360. This title lets players "join MTV host and hip-hop star Xzibit as they rip through Pimp City in their quest to transform broken down hoopties into pimped out rides for pride and respect". Notes from the corporate press release describe this game as:

"Pimp My Ride thrusts gamers into the world of Pimp City. Here, bling is king, and speed is everything. With Xzibit lending some tracks from his recently released CD, the game has a true MTV generation backdrop of urban music, art and sound where players step into the role of modification master to customize cars into the most banging whips while redlining them through the streets. Players pick the mods, hooking up everything from tires and rims to bumpin’ subwoofers and flat panel TVs to transform the worst broken down beaters into pimped out masterpieces. Style skills are put to the ultimate test and completed cars are then raced in the streets to gain priceless bragging rights and credibility in their neighborhoods. Players can navigate free-roam environments, earning respect with flossed out rides in five unique boroughs such as New Wave Beach, Hip-Hop Heights and Downtown Metro."
