    I think this game really captures the way drifting began, and actually it isn't really drifting it's touge which is racing by using drifting. 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 I think this game really captures the way drifting began, and actually it isn't really drifting it's touge which is racing by using drifting.

    I didnt like the long loding screens. Somtimes when I"m in the midddle of a race the sound of the engine will cut off making me miss a shift. Also the tire noise and the noise from when you hit a wall will keep going after it has happened. Besides that it is a prety fun game. One other thing is that I would have liked to customs cars outside of the carrer mode.

    Tokyo Drift is very different from its predecessors. The graphycs are ok. The game play is intense. 2 things I don't like in this game: 1. I think you should win money by winning the battles and not by doing drifts in Category Races; 2. Drift King is too easy to beat. I beat him with a STI -B22 Subaru Impreza. Also the game should have, just like Tokyo Extreme Racer Zero, more Tokyo Drift is very different from its predecessors. The graphycs are ok.

    This game is complicated but if you ever tried to slide sideways thru a turn at 50-60 miles per hour in real life and tried to make it thru the turn without hitting a wall, you know that it really is a hard task. Tokyo Xtreme Drift takes a bit of getting used too but as of yet it may be the closes thing to drifting in a video game that I have experienced. The graphics are pretty accurate, This game is complicated but if you ever tried to slide sideways thru a turn at 50-60 miles per hour in real life and tried to make it thru the turn without hitting a wall, you know that it really is a hard task. Tokyo Xtreme Drift takes a bit of getting used too but as of yet it may be the closes thing to drifting in a video game that I have experienced. The graphics are pretty accurate, gameplay is slow, control is accurate, and vehicle physics are almost life like. I enjoy this game being that it is what it is, a street racing and drift game.… Expand

    Solid drift racer of very few in this age with an interesting mechanic to reason away why you should drift instead of grip racing, where the points mode rewards you for drift racing instead of the faster grip racing

    This game is quite good for Genki's first attempt at a game centered around Touge racing game. 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, andThis game is quite good for Genki's first attempt at a game centered around Touge racing game.

It is recommended to play the original Japanese version, as it has more content and better soundtrack than the American version.… Expand

    The level of skill that it's possible to gain in this game is by far its greatest strength. The excellent physics model allows a very fine degree of car control and this gives the player an opportunity to hone their techniques almost to perfection. [JPN Import]

    Overall, the game still feels too familiar, which keeps it from the lofty heights of TXR2. [Apr 2006, p.74]

    Narrow, winding roads take TXR's already bad handling and make it feel that much worse. [Apr 2006, p.80]
