Played this in my high school years after reading a review of the original Wangan Midnight (i.e. not Maximum TUne) game that recommended this. Solid highway racing game, I like the whole lifebar concept.

Kinda wish the localized version didn't inexplicably turn most of the opponents into white people or change all the measurement units with no way to set them back to the original metric system. It's jarring to see mph in a game set in a country that uses km/h.
