    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.

    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. 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. 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]
