Tokyo Xtreme Racer (Shutokou Battle in JP) is an illegal street racing game utilizing almost exclsuively cars manufactured in Japan from 1973 to today (It has a pretty decent car selection). The series started a long time before the scene hit the US and games like NFSU and Midnight Club were ever thought of.MasterPhW_DX said:What's Tokyo Xtreme Racer?

It's all nighttime racing on Tokyo highways between rival car clubs. You basically cruise the highway, then when you see someone you wanna race you pull up behind them and flash your lights to challenge them. When you win you get cash that you use to buy engine/suspension/weight/etc upgrades and even mod the heck out of your car with everything from spoilers/ground effects and such up to window tint and custom stickers.
Shutokou 1 is a good game, but controls are a bit rough. The game IMO controls like a car on a road of ice with no power steering. :whistling Seriously, you get used to it and it becomes a non-issue, but it's awkward at first. Shutokou 2 fixes the controls and makes everything in the game just better. I highly recommend this series.
I have several versions of the Shutokou games that I have collected. One on PSone, 2 for DC, 2 for PS2, and that's all I've gotten so far. When I imported my Dreamcast this game series was one of the reasons along with Virtua Fighter 3tb for me to get a DC.
Get a copy and check it out. I think you might enjoy it.
