When you first play this game all you do is "race", no special effects!The worst part is that the tires look like if you were stuck in mud. Not That smooth, In a way,this game is the worst dreamcast title yet, the graphics and environment are pretty good, but whats the use in there are no " special effects".
Sure , the price is [inexpensive] for [money]. This game is awful!
This is racing at its lowest.

Honestly, who wants to drive the same EXACT track at night EVERY time you play it, and have it be a full game? That's gotta be the dumbest thing I have ever heard of.
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!

What a boring racing game, wow I was expecting more, if you want a good racing game go for Test Drive 6.
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.
Very stupid, look for something else

Tokyo Xtreme Racer's graphics are about the only thing good about this game. The stop-start gameplay is especially annoying. It is so boring and stupid, it has to be the WORST racing game to hit the Dreamcast. Skip this one, and take my advice. Look for Sega Rally 2, Speed Devils, TestDrive 6, anything but this.
One dimensional game with little intrigue

I found the control to be unresponsive, even after tweaking the settings. The graphics were dark and often confusing. There is only one course, the only option you have is which direction you got. The challenges and races were rather uninteresting. I doubt I'll be playing it very often.
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.
For die-hard racers

My main problem with this game is that the driving physics are not very good and the cars are generally difficult to control. At slow speeds cars do not have the turning radius they need to maneuver well around obstacles. I managed to get two cars pretty much maxed out parts-wise, but no matter what settings I used I just couldn't get comfortable with the driving. When you're first starting out it's easy to beat opponents, but as they get tougher the game's lack of control really prevents you from doing well. If you are a die-hard driving-game fanatic with quick reflexes and lots of time and patience, then you'll love all of the customization the game allows. The use of only one track (in two directions) will turn off most casual racers, but may appeal to those who like to know every square inch of a track, which you need to know to beat the better computer-controlled cars. I didn't have a problem with there only being one track, and found that the game had a pretty good vibe. It's a game you can really get into if you are good at it. I reached a point where it just seemed too much like work tinkering with the cars and trying to get more control out of them.
