Excelent game. Superb graphics. Limited race tracks.

I belive this game to be the closest to reality in high speed-street racing. For those of us who just love to race down Interstates and Federal highways, this is a good alternative to avoid the tickets! You are able to select many "real" cars, with life like characteristics as their real-wolrd counterparts, i.g., a 94 Honda will NEVER accelerate faster than a 2000 Eclipse. Good gameplay, excellent graphics. Mechanics lovers: you can customize the internal parts of your car, such as suspension, brakes, aeros (spoiler, fenders, lights), etc. Definitely addictive, though gameplay (and the two tracks) become repetitive after a while.

Great Game

This game is great with the different selection of cars and options on cars. It's great to race with my Acura NSX and then switch and race with my 300 Twin Turbo. The replay mode is also fun to watch and shows off the Dreamcast's abilities. The game really gets your blood pumping when in the middle of a race another car pulls out in front of you (kinda like real life) and causes you to go from almost winning to losing. The games does only offer two tracks (same track w/ different directions), but the track is several miles long and is fun to race on. Only problem w/ game is that there is noticeable slowdowns when there are 4 or more cars bunched together on the screen.

Great Replay View, Great Graphics and Better Than Turismo!

WOW! This game is really something. The gameplay of this is way better than Gran Turismo. What I mean Is that, the replay is awesome, the graphics is eye popping, and most of all it's really fun because it gets you right into the racing. It's like your on the cockpit riding on the freeway and your heart beat pumps up hella that you really want to win the Race.

Nice graphics, few choices

The graphics are great but the limited track and repetitive route lead to a quick loss in interest. The great graphics and driving "feeling" are soon not enough to hold your interest. Also, there is no option to steer with either the thumb controller or the arrow pad, you are forced to the thumb controller which I do not prefer.

I purchased this game yesterday afternoon and spent most of the night playing. The gameplay is engaging from the second you start to play. I strongly reccomend this one.

I love this game ! Many racing games out there always focus on many tracks and cars. but hey in real life we alway speed down that same highway in our neighbourhood. You have to set your expectation right. This game is about cool modified import cars where you can take and race down that familar highway you always used to travel from office to home. So the main focus is on buying import car and modify it the way you like both performance and look. Then take it out for a spin on the highway trying to win those who have the same interest as you. The gameplay is exciting and could get fraustrated when you are trying to beat someone who have a better machine but poorer driving skill then you. So if you lose, then go back home, buy more parts, tweak some setting and back on the road for a revenge. really cool The bad side is that the car bounce when you hit the wall. But this is game and you could not expect to call a trow truck when you hit the wall at 150 mph. The race got to go on....

Good game for the dedicated gamer

I've had this game since it came out, and all I can say is that it's a good game, but only for the truly dedicated with very long attention spans. Why? Well, there are only two versions of the same track, and you can find yourself racing against the same opponents multiple times to save up money for cars and car upgrades. This game is great, however, if you like the "thrill of the hunt," chasing down rival cars and challeneing them to highway drag races. The graphics are clean, but pale in comparison to other DC games, and slowdown does occur in rare instances. The control is good, but braking is totally useless in this game, so stick to letting go of the accelerator and steering clear. Buy this game if you're a hardcore racing game fan who "races to race" like myself. Otherwise, avoid this game.

If you are inspired by amazing graphics and realistic gameplay, don't miss this one! The rendering is amazing, up to the streaks your tail lights leave at night. TER offers both an arcade type and a quest mode for hours of play. Race against opponents, collect your credits and upgrade your vehicle (and there's plenty of them).

On the flip side, as impressive as this game is, you are always racing at night. It would be nice to see some daylight once in a while (I guess no one comes out in the day in Tokyo). Also, running around on the same track loses it's excitement after a while. If not for the amazing graphics, this game would probably be a 3 star. Nevertheless, it's worth it, especially for all you auto enthusiasts out there!

Boring, unrealistic

This game has only one track (Toyko). The driving is unrealistic. You have very limited control over the car. The cars are not typical cars you'd find in the U.S. I haven't played a racing game this bad in years!

pros- cool import cars, ok graphics, the thrill of street racing, battle race mode. cons- nothing but import cars, awesome graphics... if it were a PSX game, one big track, not enough game modes, zero replay value (once i beat the game its was swapped out of my DC for soul caliber and hasn't seen the light of day since) my advise- wait for "metropolis street racer" or if your really hurting for a racer try "test drive 6."
