don't be fooled this is "Tokyo Extreme Racer" on the 360. TER has always been great, no dumb "car must look like this" thing, u can make the ultimate 'sleeper' if you feel the need. And no useless/pointless girls dancing or showing off or anything to take away from the real reason a racing game is here....to RACE. It's all about being the lone wolf, so to speak, and beating car club after car club and countless wanderers to drive your way to the top of the underground racing scene.
Graphix: they're definatly nice to look at. the reflection and models are spot on life like. the streets look sweet, and much better than prior titles. plus they've added the fact of "speed blur" which makes u feel like ur doing 200mph, and it feels real nice.
Sound: nice, great engine sounds and everything overall.
Gameplay: well a few changes from the past. the key to winning a race (you'll both get a running start, and have to distance urself from the opponent long enough in order to win) is to get their "SP bar" to nothing. this is pretty basic for u veterens, but also an easy concept for the first timers out there. the big difference here is that there are almost no quick wins. you'll have to keep a nice distance for a long period of time before you win a race. this would have been frustrating but they have improved the car control. you will still hit walls and objects, but it's easier to go a long distance w/o screwing up TOO badly.
Overall: great game. if no one's experienced a TER before, you DEFINATLY, w/o a doubt, need to pick this up. if it's been a while since you've played TER:zero/3, then you should also hit up this updated version. Plus there is a TON to unlock and get in this game, most ppl never fully finish it, but for u completionists you'll eat this game up...for WEEKS!
This is the closest thing to a REAL underground racing game you'll come across. Not all flashy and skin-showing girls, just real cars in real races on real streets.
