Tokyo Xtreme Racer: Zero <- Just bought it

Tokyo Xtreme Racer: Zero

I just bought this game on my lunch break from work.  I am going to go home tonight and race some cars.  I played the game for about 5 mins the other day and was very impressed..

If you all want I will write up a detailed review of it tommorow.. :eyemouth:

please do, i would be interested to see if this game is worth getting. try to do some comparisons with other racers to make it a better review.
i heard the graphix rock.

Yeah I would also like opinions on this game.

How does the game play manly. Is it fun, do you predict it lasting from what you seen.

Please try and give a honest opinion, if its bad please don\'t play it up because you paid for it.

Good and bad points please.

First of all the game is more arcade racer then simulator racer like GT..

With that said lets get on to the game itself.  I am not usually a big fan of arcade racer but this game is fun.  Its a lot better then the hour worth of Midnight run that I played.

Gameplay
Pretty simple, drive around at night in Tokyo in and out of traffic and look for rival gangs to race.  The cars are well detailed and each driver has his own driving style and abilities.  The traffic can hinder you or the person you are racing against and quite often postions are changed throughout the race.  The control like I said is kinda simple, not to much ability involved in this game.  Brake before turn, get to a slide and gun out of it..Pretty basic..  But still offers you the ability to modify your vehicle in how it rides, handles, looks, etc,etc,etc.

Graphics
Nothing spectacular...  And after looking at pics of GT3 all day it pales in comparison.  But thats not to say that are  not decent.  They are, cars have some pretty cool details on them...  Like mods and xenon lights..  City is pretty cool.  Jaggies are noticable, but for the most part the game is moving right along so you don\'t notice them all that much..

Sound
Not all that spectacular..  Its the only thing in the game I realy don\'t like.  But sound is one of those things on a racer game that usually gets the back seat.  Yeah you can hear everything, like your horn, and the blinker click when you turn them on, but there is nothing spectactular..  They could have taken a little more time with some better sounding samples..

Overall
The game is great, fun to play and will last me awhile, well at least a month when GT3 comes out..  But its cool if someone else you know has the game, you can both save your cars onto your memory card and then race each other with your modified cars..  Its pretty sick.  Plus you can mod your cars in so many ways..  Colors, rims, power upgrades, stickers.  There is are endless ways to customize your vehicle..  :eyemouth:

I would recommend this game to anyone who wants a fun racer with lots of potential..  It was worth the $50 bucks I paid for it..

Just curious, what was your beef with Midnight Club?  I have it and liked it and had planned to skip this \'cause it sounds about the same.  That would be a bad call, huh?

Just to basic compared to this one.  I really did not like the flat level driving..  Did not do much for me..

over the two, I would hands down recomend Tokyo racer.  Much more high paced and more to do in it...
