    A poor game through and through. It's driving mechanic fails in most every way, and being that it's centered around your ability to properly drift, the game simply doesn't work very well.

    It's a budget title plain and simple, and as such it slacks on nearly every aspect. With about three million PS2 racing games and counting -- including Gran Turismo 4 as a $20 Greatest Hit title -- TXR Drift is about as essential as a two-foot high spoiler on the back of your mom's minivan.

    Only for the hardcore of racing fans or if you find it for $10. At least then you won’t feel completely cheated.

Good physics, lots of interesting cars to drive, creative features like sponsors and day/night system, and aplenty of rivals with varied biographies to go up against. However, this has been neutered by how some higher-end upgrades locked behind sponsors, a huge difficulty spike in some races, and awkward camera placement. It is recommended to play the original Japanese version, as it has more content and better soundtrack than the American version.… Full Review »

Also contrary to some belief drifting can be the fastest way around a corner if you do it right. But enough about the expinations this game does lack alittle in physics but it's coverage of cars and different types of races make it an awesome game to any initial d fan.… Full Review »
