Tokyo Xtreme Racer

Um dos melhores jogos de corrida que eu já joguei. Não conhecia a série até ouvir sobre o lançamento desde jogo em 2025, um retorno da Genki à franquia que havia conquistado muitos na época do ps2. De alguma forma, apesar de eu gostar desse tipo de jogo quando era criança, acabei não conhecendo esses jogos. Hoje, graças ao Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2025, eu sou fã da Genki e da série TXR, e pretendo jogar todos os antigos que ainda não experimentei. Não é um jogo de corrida tradicional. Você não dá voltas disputando por posições, mas sim uma espécie de jogo de batalha de carros, onde você precisa fazer seu oponente desistir de correr por estar muito atrás. Há uma excelente coleção de carros nesse jogo, clássicos da cena JDM, super carros esportivos, e até carros comuns do dia a dia como o Honda Fit. Muita customização para você deixar o seu carro favorito do jeito que você quer. A progressão pelo jogo é muito boa. Você começa tendo acesso apenas aos carrinhos mais antigos, mais lerdos, e com o tempo vai desbloqueando as máquinas letais. E não é aquele tipo de jogo de corrida que você ganha com o carro inicial, não, no TXR você precisa estar constantemente fazendo upgrade no carro para acompanhar os rivais. Isso te incentiva a experimentar e testar vários carros diferentes, fazendo com que a grande quantidade de opções não seja apenas para enfeite. Em suma, é um jogo fantástico, uma verdadeira carta de amor aos carros japoneses e à cultura JDM. Impossível recomendar mais.

What an amazing racing game. Really reminds me of how fun they used to be. Looking forward to playing much more of this and I am really excited for future projects. Way to go! I now got 15 hours in the game and would still recommend it.

I really enjoyed this game! Pure 2000s 'tuner' racing game vibes, with a really unique battle mechanic. Though it's not without its faults. Pros: The basics are covered really well - the game controls brilliantly (I played with an Xbox controller), the car models, handling, engine sounds, etc. are spot on. The atmosphere is excellent, and the Shuto expressway is modelled really well. There is a reasonable amount of variety to the AI driver behaviour which throws up unique challenges. Also, although there is only a single 'track', there is decent variety: long straight sections that let you build up immense speed, as well as a really complicated tight inner loop that challenges your skills and handling. Lots of tuning options, and managing things like tire wear and engine temp add an extra dimension to the battles. The perks system is quite strategic and can make or break battles, particularly at the higher levels. Icing on the cake: the game performed great on my system with no latency even on max settings. Cons: The game loop is ultimately pretty basic, you fight a load of roaming drivers around the Shuto expressway, earn credits to upgrade your car, work your way up to beat all the teams and the bosses of a given tier and then rinse/repeat several times while a "legendary" story plays out. It's quite repetitive and you'll probably end up beating at least 500 rivals over a career, and it's all on the same circuit. Also, the music gets very repetitive as the selection of tracks is quite small. It's good, but after a while you'll want to turn the BGM to zero and play your own music in the background. Other: If you're a completionist, there are several challenges you can only beat if you meet certain very specific criteria (set your licence place to a certain city, have beaten x drivers in a row, etc.) - you can really sink your teeth into this if you "gotta catch 'em all". But otherwise, after you've beaten the core game and you have the fastest car, I'm not sure there's much reason to come back to the game.

I've played TXR3 before and TXR 2025 does play like a much more polished up version of that, at least it is more clear on the wanders requirements and the driving physics is better.

good midnight

A breath of fresh single player racing game air that stays true to it's roots, but the lack of Nagoya & Osaka courses, as well as western car brands, means that TXR3 (PS2) still justifies being the other definitive introduction to the series.

Great racing can take you back to the arcade racing machines
