I caught some videos on youtube (http://youtube.com/watch?v=zbTFaqQ8wv0)

This game would be awesome so I searched around and found that its only for PAL ps2 and ps3. It also said that it was released here as Tokyo Extreme Racer. Ive played all of the Tokyo racer games and haven't come across this one.

Whats your favorite game to drift in?

Forza 2 is hard to driftGT series is hard to driftMaybe PGR?

Forza is tough, Gran Turismo sucks for drifting...

NFS Prostreet is not that bad, Tokyo extreme racer drift is pretty fun, Project Gotham is a good one to drift in....(kudos)

They have a D1GP game out...never played it, though.

even I wish gran turismo would get this one down...i tried it on the ps3 prologue download and it was lame still

Forza 2 is greatness when you can actually go a lap without spinning. And I was playing Gran Turismo 3 on my friends ps2 and I loved it. I liked it more than Forza 2.

Enthusia is pretty good, too. The physics are fairly genuine, though the tuning is rather rudimentary (which is good for n00bs like me).

yukes d1gp is pretty much the hardest game i've ever played in my life. i've never even made it passed the first round in tournament mode... on easy.. maybe i just suck at drifting, or maybe its the lack of a steering wheel? either way, this game is not just a pick up and play, but its deff a thorough drifting game in that it allows you to do clutch kicks, feints, braking drifts. the physics are a little like driving on a big block of ice tho..

I hate Need For Speed Pro Street. I think it has good cars like the S13 and S15. But the game play blows. I like NFS underground 2 though. I know you cant drift but you can hook up your S13 and race around.

yessss sir... took me a good year to get good at lfs. get a g25 racing wheel, a good pc(videocard too) and DL live for speed. its as real as you can get.... but it may get old after you have mastered it. i hope gt5 has great physics like lfs.

look me up sometime on lfs, username: HoosierDrifter

Ok i'll look for you my friends name on there is 420Justin or something like that he used to have a drift drift team called "420 Drift Team" I think and i'm going to buy the full version here in about a month.

And brizanden: Yah the car selection isn't too great but the XR GT (the fc looking one) is the only one I like to play with only if you have a nice setup for it though. But the indy cars are a whole different story those are fun as ****.

Burnout 3: Takedown. That game pretty much forces you to get sideways around every corner in order to win races.

That being said, I can dominate some drift action in Gran Turismo 3 with my Logitech GT force wheel. I am just too good at that game.

Do you have xfire? I'll play LFS once in a while but I use a joy stick to drive with, too cheap to buy a wheel.

WTF?! Grand Turismo 4 Drifting FTMFW!

Just Because You Can't Just Push The E-Brake Button And Perfect Drift It Doesn't Mean It Sucks...

Driving Simulation Means You Got To Adjust The Camber, Ride Height, Transmission Closeness?, Also Learn To Predict What The Car Will Do, Not Just Turn The Wheel Completely And Stomp On the Gas.

Took Me A While But I Got The Hang Of It.

Still Gran Turismo is greatness..... I just use weight transfer to drift hardly the e-breake unless I have to stretch out a drift.

It just takes time I can drift in that better than I can in Forza 2 and the E-brake works just fine. practice is all it takes

You'd have to actually consider realistic physics, speed, steering, and throttle in the GT series games to drift, especially in GT4. All that NFS drifting is just lame. Press the gas and turn.

forza2 ftmfw! the buttons for throttle are sweet cuz you can feather em nicely, it just takes alot of practice and fine tuning your skills and car. once you get the hang of it, its amazing!.

You said what i wanted to say. Most people can't even get sideways because they don't know how to turn the traction controls off.

GRID is a new completely under-hyped game on the way that I can't wait for. Runs off a tweaked "Colin McRae's D.I.R.T engine" which I thought felt great. (racing wheel is a must)

get ready to upgrade the PC if you don't have a top of the line tho, DIRT is pretty taxing
