Bring Down the House
Set in the underworld of Fortune Valley, you and your crew are reunited by a search for vengeance against The House, a nefarious cartel that rules the city’s casinos, criminals, and cops. In this corrupt gambler’s paradise, the stakes are high and The House always wins. Play a variety of events as Tyler, Mac, and Jess. Earn the respect of the Valley’s underground and compete in the ultimate race to finally take down The House.
Meet the Crew
- Tyler ‘Ty’ Ramirez – A natural-born racer, Ty possesses killer racing instincts and an unwavering will to win that make him a formidable opponent whether in a street race or on the drag strip.
- Jessica ‘Jess’ Miller – Jess is a runner, a driver for hire to the rich and infamous who can get you out of trouble no matter how volatile the situation.
- Sean ‘Mac’ McAlister – Mac is the crew’s drift and off-road specialist, a happy-go-lucky driver with a flashy, unpredictable style. He loves getting down and dirty on the trail, or executing that flawless line around a tight corner.
Ways to Play

- Marcus ‘The Gambler’ Weir – Marcus Weir is the apex predator of the Silver Rock casino scene. A relentless risk-taker with a taste for long shots and impossible odds, he has risen through the Fortune Valley scene through wits and guts alone.

Need for Speed... I guess some people still like it. But to me it does nothing.

And a thug one with robberies, heists, stuff like that.
