Tokyo Xtreme Racer

Frustrating, Unfair, and Artificial: A Classic Franchise Ruined by Modern Gimmicks As a veteran gamer with 30 years of experience playing tough-but-fair titles, I desperately wanted to love the return of this legendary highway racer. Instead, I was met with an incredibly frustrating experience that replaces genuine skill with artificial difficulty, cheap AI tactics, and mobile-game-style progression loops.The core of any great racing game is testing your driving line against your opponent's. Here, the driver AI is practically non-existent. Instead of advancing in skill, the game relies on egregious rubberbanding. When the AI is behind you, it disregards physics entirely, artificially sliding through every single turn like it’s on a train track. Even popping a nitro boost is completely invalidated because the AI instantly gains on you regardless of your speed. What is the point of upgrading and grinding if the game simply cheats to keep the opponent on your bumper? Because the AI dynamically scales to your upgrades, you never actually feel like you are getting better.Furthermore, the vehicle physics fail to recognize basic logic. In a game where most cars weigh similarly in the 1000kg range, the weight distribution is profoundly broken. When an opponent pushes your vehicle, you behave like a total ragdoll, losing complete control. Yet, if you attempt to do the same to them, your car gets stuck to theirs while they barely move, behaving like an immovable brick wall. It makes you rage for all the wrong reasons.To make matters worse, the car roster is shockingly small, and the way you acquire vehicles is completely backward. Instead of a traditional racing loop—earn cash, go to a dealership, and buy a car—the game forces you to spend Battle Points (BP) on a skill tree just to unlock the ability to buy them. If I go to a car dealership in real life, they don't require me to beat a generic loser in a street race before I can pull out my wallet. It is an artificial checklist designed to pad out the game's length. To top it all off, the soundtrack is incredibly repetitive. While the music is somewhat enjoyable for the first twenty minutes, it loops so frequently and aggressively that you are forced to just turn it off entirely.Ultimately, this is simply not a good game. It misunderstands what made classic arcade racers fun, punishing good driving with broken mechanics and locking a tiny selection of cars behind a tedious grind. Unless you enjoy fighting against a cheating system rather than mastering a track, skip this one.

Короче я ехал по ТКАДу Соперников никаких не было А просто погнались они Давай он меня подрезать короче я срезал в отбойник он он стоит, улыбается он догонял ,он догонял и все.. бах-бах-бах бах-бах-бах Марк Х был хороший бах-бах-бах бах-бах-бах всем, кто меня знает пользуясь случаем передаю привет хана Марку вообще

This game is lots of fun, has a great variety of JDM vehicles, and cool customization features to really make the cars feel like they belong to you. I have spent hours customizing the vinyls, completing races and just driving on the Shunto Expressway. The only real dig I have on this game, is how unfair the AI becomes at the later difficulties. I noticed after I approached the level 4 performance parts, many opponents would wall ride corners, take no damage, and lose very little speed. However, you as the player have to slow down, because the wall damages your car. It is a small gripe, but it makes a number of the races at the higher difficulties more frustrating than enjoyable. Overall, past this one problem, game is preem and encapsulates on the experience I was looking for.

from playing zero on the play station. To now a upgraded gameplay, this game is fun for street racing. the perks also make it to where if you want a short race or a long time attack race. which i like. runs great on a 1050 nvidia so dont worry about graphics issues

Reminiscent of classic arcade racers, this game is simple and strikingly beautiful. The cars look and feel fantastic, and customization is satisfying - EVERYTHING centers on driving. Rather than standard races, you challenge opponents on the Tokyo Highway. Defeat them all to build your reputation and be allowed to race the higher-ups. Along the way there are car meets offering extra challenges, and some selective wanderers will only race you once you meet their conditions. No always online. No microtransactions.

Very cool racing game, less heavy on the customization than something like Need for Speed but more in-depth on actual tuning. I'd say the current price is a bit much, get it on sale.

I really but REALLY TRIED, to love this game but I'm sorry, its just overhyped as many racing games out there ... The handling is something that is so unable for someone to understand, the mechanics of the bosses and the rubberbanding is worse than a 2004 need for speed game. Sound engines are almost for every car the same, there is no variety, no taste in the game. it feels rushed to be completed. Very few visual customization options as well per car with rims being very few as well The optimization for a game of its graphics URGENTLY needs to be fixed, its not acceptable to max out a 7900XTX making it overheat with hotspot temps reaching +80C Last but not least the turbo cars ... holy moly, how am i supposed to play "guess the non-turbo car that will beat you today" when you already have all the upgrades available fitted while an N/A RX8 just beats you without sweating? there is no logic from that, when you have clear advantage you are in a bloody disadvantage. Also why the AWD cars just, don't feel like AWD cars? what's up with the handling? torque percentage F-B doesn't even feel like i make a difference. There is clearly no description on each setting that im changing so i have to play the classic "what does this button do" and have to figure out the hard way ... unless there is an update, i don't think is worth playing at the moment ...
