The only racer in years that made me care about my car, finished the final parts of stage 1 and the entire stage 2 using a S13 without finding it a grindy or boring.

It's obviously not perfect, the music is great but there are only a few tracks, needs more.
More obscure cars, and cars in general, and honda.
More rivals, but that will sure come when they update the rest of the game in.
Some extra weather effects

Can't wait for the rest of the game to come out.

Overall this game brought back some nostalgia from the original series. I loved it and had fun and honestly hate that i finished the game. It was a lot of fun and do recommend.

Thank you very much for developing this! It brings back memories from my Dreamcast and PS2 days, I still have the original Tokyo Highway Challenge 1 and 2, as well as Xtreme Racer on the PS2. This has brought back so many fantastic memories of those games. I've only clocked at the time of this review 10 hours of gameplay but its already got me hooked wanting to play it after work.

Things to note : Its Single Player (and I love that), its an arcade racer (dont expect much realism, but expect fun gameplay), its always set at night (thats on purpose and its great), there are some fantastic modifications, upgrades, and superb challenges against the AI.

I do have a couple of suggestions if you don't mind, given this is in early access.

1. Get rid of the breaking noise, its awful.
2. Change "Machine" in Perk menu to "Manufacturer"
3. It took me +/- 3 hours of gameplay to even know there was a perk menu, suggest a tutorial to show the player this.
4. I love the idea, for end game longevity, to add some sort of procedural generation of rivals and or teams which brings a fantastic way to spend potentially 100's or 1000's of hours into the game!
5. The ceiling idea of money, and having to spend perks to upgrade your wallet seems redundant... I recommend not forcing a limit on cash on the player, being forced to buy something seems silly.
6. I would love to see legendary rivals, which have non-standard cars, remember the Dodge Viper in Xtreme Racer 2? Such an amazing surprise!
7. The high speed camera shake for players on monitors that are large becomes really unbearable very quickly, I recommend by default turning this off and allow players to increase it if they want.
8. The livery UI and how to add it to the car needs a bit of work, its not very easy.


Finally, thank you, this game is turning out to be spectacular!
