Tokyo Xtreme Racer

The Good
The game is just simply amazing. Mission based driving games are always fun and this is also a strait up import game with a bunch of cars and a nice sense of speed. The graphics are just beautiful; think about it, This game came out a year after R4 and a year before Midnight Club and it looks better than both of them. The best part is you can drive around all you want before you get into a race instead of going trough menu after menu picking out a rival.

The Bad
There really isn't to much a hate about this game. I guess if you don't like instrumental music than you might not be fond of the Techno/Rock soundtrack that is in the background. I guess the only real complaint is have is the lack of a reverse button, but I don't think you would need it to much.

The Bottom Line
To think something this good came out back when the PS1 was the most popular system. People looking at this back then must have just been amazed. If you enjoy games like Ridge Racer, Need for Speed, Driver, and Burnout, then you should love this classic.
