"Distinctive" videogames are something I really appreciate, and it's weird to me that there aren't many games like this considering how much of a hit Initial D was, this one is clearly inspired by it.

A racing rpg can sound kind of grindy and it could be, with some races being absolutely grueling, it's best that you check a guide to keep your car up to pace, if you play on emu save stating is a blessing in this game.

The "random encounters" (which aren't really random since you can avoid them) are quite short, often being a very short lap which would make it shorter than any rpg battle. There's a shit ton of customization, you can steal your opponents parts after you beat them including their bodies, but cmon, if you set me with Toyota AE86ish car from the beginning, there's no way i'm changing it.

I wish it didn't go full bananas towards the end, square style, but i'm really glad I played it and I never really got tired of it, i guess that's saying something.
