Tokyo Extreme Racer 3

[Drifter K]

I just picked this game up and i gotta say thats its the best racing game right now. If you never played it before its about street racing through tokyo and two other cities. Basically you are a rookie road racer making your way to the top by defeating all the local rivals. When you defeat all the car gang members you have to go up against the leader. This game is great cause they have over 20 licensed cars including all the nissan cars s13,s14,s15, and more. Also there are U.S. cars in the game too. Viper, mustang,vets, and cameros. I got this game brand new for only 20 bucks and i gotta say its well worth it. Just wanted to pass the word for you all the pick it up so they can make and bring over the mountain drifting game they planned on making for the ps2.

I have TXR Zero, it's pretty good but the handling physics SUCK compared to a lot of games (namely, GT3, but what racing game doesn't pale in comparison to that one?). The customization and sense of speed are really good though. The way it works with the gangs and junk is kinda interesting, especially since it provides a ton of opponents to go against...

come to think of it, I never totally finished that game, some of the ones that only come out at certain times I never bothered with... oh well...

Anyways, at $20 I'll probably pick up this one one day while I'm out. I didn't know they'd made another, thanks.

Yeah TXR3 is the *****! (thats a good thing).

Ive owned the following cars-

Ae86S15SupraR33 GT-RFord GTImpreza STiFDFCR34.

Its all good! Even my girlfriend likes it- shes got a Chaser and an RX-8.

FD with a V6 TT motor swap, carbon fiber body, roll cage, and full suspension > you.

beat the game with it, was my 2nd car

yeah i got the game when it first came out and it was still 20 bux woohooo!! the physics in txr3 are much better than in zero, but still somewaht lacking. still a sweet game tho. i built my exact car

[Drifter K]

They should have a touge mode where you can battle on mountain that would be sweet

supr w/ naked carbon-fibre bodywork and L6TT swap... 700+ BHP anyone?

I beat the game the first time using that and my R33... R33 for the rain, supra for the dry...

Nah I dont think its worth my $20. Overall its OK I guess, but I cant stand the handling. Customization is good though. IDK Id rather just play NFSU, GT3, or MC 2.

GT3 is all about laping people. Im sorta tired of just driving in circles and trying to lap. Gotta give me a REAL reason to race(money). MC2 is not really that great cause there are no licence cars and you cant mod cars the way you want them. NFSU is just GT3 and mc2 mixed together... Same i hate laps, You mod your car with rice, Not many jdm models to choose. Its kinda fake cause you cant drift front wheel drive cars on the drift track! Other wise i like the music though

[Kaioshin1982]

is this game for PC?

[jdmfreak]

We I agree with you on MC2, but its still a pretty fun game nontheless. In NFSU I keep it non-rice and I dont drift in anything unless its AWD or RWD. GT3 owns them both because well, its GT3.

[nametakennow]

I agree with MC2 as well, probably why I still haven't bothered to finish (that and the AI purposely puts cars in the only availible path you have, not making it impossible, but annoyingly hard).GT3 has such great physics that I don't really care about the lapping, that and it's courses are really well designed. Once you get to where you only have the massive tournaments and the endurance races it gets kinda monotonous, so then you just use your obscene amounts of money to have Ultimate Street Car Challenges with friends. You'd be amazed how much fun you can have with a $50k (or even just $25k) limit. The $75-100k limits usually provide the most insane races though...NFSU is really good, IMO. Not GT3, but still very good. The physics are a little sketchy there too. The rice is kind of annoying, as is the fact that sometimes you don't want to have to change your car just to be able to drift a proper drifting vehicle, so you end up powersliding your FF and claiming it's drifting. Funny, I got better scores with the SE-R than with the 240 my first time through the game...Fun thing to do in NFSU is to try to play through the whole game with one of the base cars. I'm almost done with just a Miata. My Neon and Civic saves are doing pretty well too. It's funny to think of a Neon outrunning a Supra. That's my big complaint in the game. There's NO FRIGGIN WAY an RSX is going to keep up with an equally modded GT-R.

LOL! So true, but its not that big of a deal to me.
