UPDATED REVIEW: The developer has since added manual shift and inertial drift. However, 5th gear (manual only) maxes out the revs without allowing you to actually reach top speed. Automatic is where you want to be at if you have any chance of keeping up with the other driver, as the scaling in Manual is simply not up to par. The new inertial drift system just feels like I'm driving on an oil slick the entire time.

OLD REVIEW: They've somehow managed to make an InitialD game without manual shifting, car collisions, or drafting and instead gave it a fairly unreliable dedicated drift button. But hey, there's some instrumental Eurobeat in there.
