Tokyo Xtreme Racer

This game is the game I would want to have in my house as my own personal arcade-y racing game in an actual arcade cabinet. Except it has a full campaign with Kingdom Hearts level of melodrama, and really awesome progression, and perks, and tuning, and vehicle customization. Downsides? The neon looks pretty ugly no matter what, there's no alpha blending on decals which makes it difficult to make stuff look really dope, decals spill over from one side of the vehicle to another, and the music gets a bit repetitive. Still definitely recommend. I got it 40% off for $29.99, which I think is a no-brainer price for how much content there is, the quality and polish of the game. It's regular price of $49.99 is just a little bit too high, IMO, unless they fixed everything I complained about.

I've had Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2025 since the demo/Early Access, and as someone who has played the other games in the franchise and still plays them to this day I've been really happy with how this revival turned out. This game feels like Tokyo Xtreme Racer. It brought back so many memories of playing TXR0 and TXR3 on the PS2. Cruising the Tokyo highways at night, spotting a rival, flashing your lights, and immediately getting pulled into a battle is exactly the racing game I have been craving. For a while I was looking for a game to give me that TXR it's in modern form and then Genki made their return. The soundtrack also absolutely nails those nostalgic vibes. For anyone new to the series, this is a single-player arcade racer with some sim-style qualities. You drive around the highways of Tokyo looking for challengers and crews. Battles are usually very quick, sometimes only a few seconds to around a minute or so. Instead of traditional racing, you win by draining your opponent's "Life Bar" by staying ahead, crashes and mistakes also drain the meter. You progressively take on harder rivals and bosses that are part of crews, while also hunting down the special "Wanderers." These are non-crew opponents with specific requirements before they'll race you, such as particular cars, builds, license plates, etc. It's a cool system that gives you reasons to experiment and try different cars and setups. There are steam guides that tell you the requirements but you can also try to figure them out in game with hints the game gives you. There's also plenty of progression with car unlocks, a skill/perk tree, tuning and engine upgrades, body/aero parts, wheels, liveries, and auras. The graphics are good. Nothing groundbreaking, but they don't need to be. The game looks good, performs great, and most importantly, the driving feels good. And like I said before, passes the nostalgia check for those of us that have played the other games in the series. I've completed the game twice. My first playthrough took me around 60 hours, although some of that was AFK time using auto-drive to meet certain Wanderer requirements. After taking some time away, I came back and did New Game+, which lets you carry your cars, upgrades, and skill tree over. The second playthrough was obviously much faster and easier because of that, but it's also required if you're going for 100% of the Steam achievements. 2nd play through took about 40 hrs with some of that also being AFK for same reason of meeting criteria. Overall, I absolutely recommend this to fans of the older games and racing games. This isn't going to be a Forza or NFS. It's a focused, single-player highway racing game that focuses on Japanese Highway racing/car scene in a arcade racing game while keeping to the original games. Genki managed to bring back the feel of the classics while making it feel like a modern game. If you grew up playing TXR games, there's a good chance this will hit you right in the nostalgia. Highly recommended. Thank you Genki 💗😀 Looking forward to what comes next (New games in series and/or DLCs). Am really hoping for a physical collectors box or something to become available for this game if all possible.

Every bit as janky as it was in 1999, and I wouldn't have it any other way!

This game is a true gem, got it from my brother in grime and i enjoyed every second of it

大家覺得有贏第一代嗎? 我覺得沒有(但有可能是以前比較好滿足,或是第一次新鮮) 雖如此!依然要買~~依然無可取代

Perfect,
