Description

As a sequel to Tōge King: The Spirits, this game continues in the same vein of fast racing over the dangerous ridges and mountain tops. The game expands on the first one adding more details and additional content. Game contains only three courses consisting of curved and challenging Japanese mountain roads, plus they can be played in various seasons which requires a whole new driving tactic. Main racing modes include "King Battle" (main mode where you have to prove yourself to be the king and win all the races), "Free Battle" (one player mode where you can select your rival and your car and test your skill), "VS Battle" (a two-player mode where you can play against your friend in a split-screen view), and "Training" (which offers Time Attack, Free Driving and Dricon where you get rewarded based on your drifting skill).

Average score: 3.0 out of 5 (based on 1 ratings)

A more refined improvement to the original

The Good
Touge King: The Spirits 2 has more options than the original. Hitting walls isn't as punishing as in the original. The graphics and sound are still great in this iteration. Analog controls are now available via the Sega Arcade Wheel.

The Bad
The driving controls still aren't great here even with analog steering. It is a definite improvement over the original however. Drifting is still very difficult, requiring a level of inertia that is hard to feel out in the game. For me the drift happens much too late and I smash into the wall.

The Bottom Line
An improvement over the original Touge King but still a ways off from later games in the series and other Sega racers of the time such as Sega Rally.
