I was a little disappointed in GT3. The graphics were awsome but I just could not get into it like I did the other 2. It just seemed too similar to me.
But TER is another matter. I just loved it from the start. The racing is fast and fun. The graphics although not quite up to GT3 are not far off and are pretty darn good.
There is a big selection of cars which I always enjoy and alot of things you can do too them. Not as much as they could have maybe. But enough to have fun with.
My big problem is that I spend the money on making the car look hot and not on making it faster. The temptaion to add stickers and stuff is just too much.
If you want to play something different to GT3 or were a little disappointed in GT3 like I was, then give this game a look.

Tokyo Extreme Racer is the by far the best street racing/racing game i've played thus far. I'm a huge fan of import tuning. I own a decked out import, tunned to the finest. Everything from the selection of cars to the selection of mods. It's great. There is nothing else that can be said about this game except When is Tokyo Extreme Racer 2 coming out?? Someone please answer that for me. Thanks

This game was enjoyable for the first two hours and then its fun factor quickly went down hill. It is far too complicated to figure out the right combination of car, color, license plate, etc that is needed to race the different groups. For Japanese street racing geeks that is probably their idea of great fun, but it's not mine. I regret buying this game.

One of the best racing game ever!!!!

TXR is definetely one of the best racing game ever created. The graphic is incredible. The theme is fun and exciting. I have own the game for about two weeks and I can't live a day without playing it for an hour or so a day. The only other racing game that can even come to comparison with TXR is GT3. If you like racing games, this is a MUST have. Have fun!!

This is a fun game for all ages....

I recently rented txr0 for ps2 and could not put it down. the graphics are awsom and it is so adicting because your want tht new car or a new part. it lacks some things in how you start off with 15g's, but then again i wish that i had 15g's to sup up a car. if you like the fast and the furious and grand turismo 3 you'll love this game.

Buy this game now

You gotta go out and buy this game. It's the best street racing game on the market. I agree that grand turismo three might be better but for you street racing fans, this is the game to get. One of the best things in this game is that you are able to add body kits, (hood,bumpers,sideskirts,spoiler/wing,rims,paint,etc.)The cars aren't named, they are numbered but you can tell what they are (S2000,NSX,skyline,Si) and many more. If you like street racing cars as opposed to expensive european cars then you better go get this game right now. This game is so addictive. you can't put down the controller until you beat the guy. The map expands as you beat more "bosses." A very important strategy is to block. This comes in very handy when racing one of the 13 devils or a wanderer. Buy it now and play it every day.

The Game is Great

The game is the best game because you can race different street gangs to win money to customize your car(s). You can customize your car with everything from engine parts to headlight and aero dyanamic parts.

racing excitement at it's best

this is the best racing game i've ever played, and I have played a lot of them. It has everything you need if you're into the fast and the furious kind of gameplay. You can fix up your car in any way choosing different body kits and pieces and engine parts. The racing is excellent and when you're going 200mph you really feel like your going 200mph! All around excellent game and raccommend it for any racing game lover

fun for those who aren't as technical as gran turismo disciples

I first bought the later version, Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3, really liked it and didn't really know if it was worth it to go backwards in games as purchasing this earlier model "Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero." I'm glad I did, it's not as difficult but still fun, the mods you can purchase don't take zillions of credits to start out making your car faster/nicer looking, and the races aren't impossible to beat; whoever gets the largest lead usually keeps it although tougher rivals take longer time to win so they may come back. I also like that they actually give the story of each racer if you want to read about your rivals, their occupation and trivia. For example, one is a factory worker who is very poor but makes up for the lack of perf. parts on his car with very precise control. Another one mentions a young man who enjoys drifting but is too new to the scene and just ends up sliding all over. They all have stories and many hardcore female racers as well, this gives the game personality other games don't offer. As another reviewer stated, the cars ARE real versions, just identified with letters/number codes. I'm not into the tuner scene but even I can still identify different year Supra's, Celica GT's, Acura NSX,(2) different RX7's, EVO's, and many others so don't think they are "generic" racers. You can even start off with All Wheel Drive cars, which most games make you begin with a slow turd of a car. Another thing I like is that you even get "sympathy" points(spirit points I think they call them) just for giving it your best shot/hanging as long as you can; this helps the younger kids or not as quick adults have some fun and accrue credits for parts. I have Gran Turismo 3 and games like that are fun IF you have patience enough to get sucked into them(taken me countless hours on GT3 but after you get sucked in- look out, you are HOOKED), this game is a blast right from the start and graphics are really good too. I like not having cops chasing you- if I wanted cops to chase me, I'd play grand theft auto. They even have interviews with real street racers in Japan(translated conversation) and show the real streets/race cars they race- pretty interesting. They also have the movie trailer for Fast and Furious which is really old now but still fun to watch. This is a classic fun racing game that won't have you beating your head into the wall with diffucult license tests that you keep missing by .003 of a second and require precise driving skills- drifting and unreal physics are fun sometimes. I haven't seen any domestic muscle cars yet and although these cars are stock looking when you get them, if you must have American Muscle with lopey, rowdy V8 power, you should probably pass; I need it in real life but I hang my Hemi hat up for a few minutes when I sit down and play my PS2- it's more fun that way.
