pointless for speed lovers, but great for race fans who love cars in general

first off, if your favorite game is NFS becase you like the thrill of speed, your better off not getting this game.
many people may have seen bad remarks about this game off IGN or Gamespot, but in reality, the game is not half bad
you come face to face with many cars in the garage, most of which are cars that one may see criuising down the highway, but as you go along, you may be able to double, or even triple the performance of your cars. there are also many other things that can be upgraded, and one can see the diffrence when racing. the only sad parts about the tuning section is that you cannot mix and match bumpers with sideskirts(they have pre-made kits), and the engine tuning section of the car is terrible. normally, the engine tuning should be least to greatest from 1st gear to 6th, but in the game, 6th is the least and 1st is the greatest, and the only thing one can do about it is slightly alter the gears and nothing else. this causes the awkward situation in which i was racing at 150MPH on 2ND GEAR!
Now onward to the racing. the racing can be considered terrible by 2fast2furious and NFS lovers, but deep down, it's actually quite fun. although your car dosen't turn very well, you must do other tricks to make it slide through. this is quite amusing at some points. The racing system is quite unique too. it's either first one past the finish line or first one to deplete their opponent's "spirit gauge" which is sort of like a life bar that depletes when you pull a certain distance ahead or when they crash. if their's deplets, so does yours, which make the game quite intense at some points. the oppnents have ummm... unique names, such as "caffine times three" or "happy rabbit" or something. their names reflect their attitude towards racing, so if you manage to recruit them, you will get a slight with of commantary which reflects their names. most opponensts are easy, and can be beaten by tapping the wall while they lose like 100 MPH by braking hard long before the turn. now you may have your doubts about this game. "is it really fun?". there are also certain "wanders" in all areas, and each area has at least 1 high level wanderer which has +40 level. they are quite challenging to beat at some times, and even if you beat them, they may not join your team. their excuses are based on thier history, and if you can satisfy them, you can recruit them, into your team. you can also widen you domination from 1 area to the whole 15 by team battling a team who's domination of an area drops below 50%. you deplete their domination by recruiting ther area's rivals onto your team. this is not always easy, especially when you are the only one of 2 teams remaining, for their leaders can also attempt to recruit you team members.
overall, this game is a great game, but it lacks a few quality racing game aspects.

This game is horrible.

This is a sequel to tokyo xtreme racing on the major consoles. While the other games are good, not great, this one is horrible. You will wait through loading times more than actual racing. When you do race, the opponents are way too easy and the tracks are monotonous. Go with need for speed underground rivals. It's much better. Midnight club 3 is probably better too, although i've not played it.

Great RPG Racer for the PSP
