tokyo xtreme racer zero and gran turismo 3

[Zexel]

yeah, tokyo xtreme racer is awesome!!

[teamcapsule]

TXRZ is the best ever, much more playable and much more fun than GT3... It's all about Wangan racing (Highway battling as opposed to Touge racing, up in the mpuntains..) Rent that!

i honestly thought tokyo extreme racer was boring. that game cheats! seems like when i'll race, i'll have a 300ZX totally fixed up and i come up on a honda civic, i race him, i beating him really bad, i have to slow down, he catches up, we're side by side but i starting to pull away, then he takes off like he has nitrous. i like how you can change body kits and stuff.

woah, i think i'm gonna get tokyo extreme racing first, it sounds pretty cool, i didn't know they actually had real authentic import cars in ne other game besides gt3.

i have tokyo extreme racer 2 for dreamcast and it sucks major ass!! i was sooo excited to play it then i was really disappointed.  i mean, what the ####, all you do is drive around on the same god #### map and looking for rivals.  IT SUX!

[whateverjames]

yeah i know! the same map over and over, and eventually it let you drive all of the same map..feels like 6 years before you can save up for a muffler! the roads are too skinny to race on, it's hard to steer out of the way of busses that cut you off, the cars have major understeer even with upgraded suspension, 450hp feels like 270hp, any car can beat any car (like civic vs 300zx), the game is repetitive after a while. don't get me wrong, it's one bad ass idea, the music is not bad, graphics are good, but for myself at least (remember, just an opinion) the game just isn't for me. make sure you wrap your controller with padding, because you may throw it a few times.   j/k

dude, tokyo xtreme racer zero is beyond a lot better than tokyo xtreme racer 2.  once you beat wanderers, you open up new highways and entrances and stuff, and it gives you a lot more points.  and you get to change wheels, aero's, suspension, brake kits, etc.  it's an awesome game, you should rent it.

Not really a racing game, but get/rent Grand Theft Auto 3. Play it once, and you'll get hooked.

[240sxspeedracer1]

when it comes to hard core racing, that'll last u for months upon months, get Gran turismo 3.  If you want some fun as #### game where u get to jack other people's cars and even play the role of a taxi driver, get Grand theft auto.  If you want to have fun getting different cars and actually being able to put body kits and shit(GT3 didn't let u change body kits) get Tokyo extreme racer.  I think the majority of people would say that Tokyo is probably the best bet so rent that first.  And, no it doesn't get boring, it's not repetitve cause u open up diffirent parts of the map and it becomes quite huge and it's an actual replica of tokyo's highway!!! SWEET!

Just get Tekken Tag, dude <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>. That game kicks ass.

My boyfriend plays GT3 a lot, I don't have a PS2, and I can't seem to get the controller right when it comes to racing, but it looks a lot better than the Tokyo Extreme. True, they do have a lot of body kits and performance parts you can buy and upgrade with, but it's not as exciting as being able to pick between rally, city, and track racing. Just my $.02. And to this I was just the audience, mind you. Maybe when I manage to get the real feel for the controller, I'll start playing. I'll stick to Tekken Tag until then.

GTA3 owns! any game that allows you to pick up hookers, kill innocent bystanders, and run from the cops is the shit!

[BlankFlip]

controlling gt3 ain't that bad on a controller, just wish u could mess w/ the clutch n all, but at least u can downshift n then brake n stuff like that. i've actually been playing gran turismo 1 for playstation n now i've got my 91 silvia k's n 98 k's all hooked up, that game rules.

gt3 was a huge disappointment, the graphics are great, but there are very few cars and no used cars. &nbsp;gt2 was a much much better game, get that. But Tokyo Extreme Racer is sweet. gt2 and TER are the best.

[HaloZ]

GT3 owns! TXR is ok. needless to say GT3 requires some skill. txr comes down to who can block and cheat better. :sigh:

[240booster]

Hellll ya I just rented Tokyo Extreme tonight that game's bad ass shit :-))) lol i got my little S14 Silvia tricked completely out and im kicking everythings ass!!!!! &nbsp; &nbsp; :-P. Although, I'm still an incredibly HUGE fan of every Gran Turismo there is.

[BlankFlip]

yeah, gt3 is still bad ass n all, but it just lacks the selection of cars that the previous 2 had. i wonder what part 4 will be like...
