Tokyo Xtreme Racer

Its like the old games. Giving off the same vibe the games 20 yrs ago used to give. but with added features, cars, and wider audience.

I really enjoyed this game! Pure 2000s 'tuner' racing game vibes, with a really unique battle mechanic. Though it's not without its faults. Pros: The basics are covered really well - the game controls brilliantly (I played with an Xbox controller), the car models, handling, engine sounds, etc. are spot on. The atmosphere is excellent, and the Shuto expressway is modelled really well. There is a reasonable amount of variety to the AI driver behaviour which throws up unique challenges. Also, although there is only a single 'track', there is decent variety: long straight sections that let you build up immense speed, as well as a really complicated tight inner loop that challenges your skills and handling. Lots of tuning options, and managing things like tire wear and engine temp add an extra dimension to the battles. The perks system is quite strategic and can make or break battles, particularly at the higher levels. Icing on the cake: the game performed great on my system with no latency even on max settings. Cons: The game loop is ultimately pretty basic, you fight a load of roaming drivers around the Shuto expressway, earn credits to upgrade your car, work your way up to beat all the teams and the bosses of a given tier and then rinse/repeat several times while a "legendary" story plays out. It's quite repetitive and you'll probably end up beating at least 500 rivals over a career, and it's all on the same circuit. Also, the music gets very repetitive as the selection of tracks is quite small. It's good, but after a while you'll want to turn the BGM to zero and play your own music in the background. Other: If you're a completionist, there are several challenges you can only beat if you meet certain very specific criteria (set your licence place to a certain city, have beaten x drivers in a row, etc.) - you can really sink your teeth into this if you "gotta catch 'em all". But otherwise, after you've beaten the core game and you have the fastest car, I'm not sure there's much reason to come back to the game.

很棒的遊戲

Possibly my favorite racing game ever. Definitely up there with Sega Rally Championship and Ridge Racer Type 4.

I used to hear lots of good things from friends who played the older TXR games back on the PlayStation 2 - which I didn't own at the time, but I never got to experience it for myself. But now that the game has been refreshed, rejuvenated, better than ever, and brought to the PCs, it's like a much needed breath of fresh air when almost every single racing game is a festival racer or a simcade. Much love to the Genki team, and I am all here for this game! Can't wait for future updates ^^

Game is fun, completed it twice, some replay value as well.

Way too expensive for this gameplay. 15-20€ would be fine
