Just as stressful as street stage, but still, the learning curve, and satisfaction are worth it in the end

La pollisima de juego, ojalá un remaster , Sega tienes trabajo

Game is pretty fun and I like how much attention to detail the story has. For example having you do a race with the 86's new engine but without the new tachometer, so if you know the trick to it you can play it just fine. It's just something I didn't expect out of it so I think it's cool.

When I lived in Osaka briefly, I visited some of the bigger arcades in the area. On one such visit I saw a fairly old man playing an Initial D game with a giant wheel, racing chair and all that shit. The Eurobeat was insanely loud and he drifted flawlessly throughout the entire track.

The next day I went out in search of a console version and found this. Obviously not as extravagant as the arcade, but a great game, with one of the best soundtracks out there. Decent customization, a fair amount of courses, and the cutscenes are presented like manga panels. You do get to try and balance the cup of water on your dashboard. Really fun to pop in for 20 minutes and mess around

Forza and Daytona fans wish they could compete with the GOAT of racing games.

No I don't care that you don't know japanese, go play it. The feeling of overtaking Keisuke at Mt. Akina while Running in the 90's beat drops is rawness that transcends the language barrier.
