Over 15 different licensed car manufacturers such as Nissan, Toyota, GM, Ford, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen. 200 miles of faithfully re-created roads, made to look and feel just like the real roads of Japan. Massive upgrade to the physics engine, special effects, graphical editors, weather conditions, courses, textures, lighting, menus, options, car tuning features, and rival characters. Over 600 rivals to challenge on the highways. An awesome level of car tuning options allows you to adjust just about every car body part and car performance aspect. Modify your car with custom parts from such manufacturers as Hart, Riverside and Yokohama. [Crave Entertainment]… Expand

    This is the best yet in the series. The addition of licensed cars, more rivals and highways, and a few new gameplay twists make this one fine racer.

    The racing game is fun, but at best a diversion from other titles that are already out there, like "NFS:UG," that cover similar ground with better attention to the game.

    The graphics are horribly bland, the freeways never end, and apparently all of Tokyo's traffic is represented by a single yellow van. [Feb 2004, p.91]

    Looks good but there are plenty other racing games that top it many areas - graphics, gameplay, varieties of cars etc... I bought this game and it's a bit disappointing because it doesn't have Honda (not sure whether I will have it later in the game). However, I love driving in real Japan highways (I think it's really cool). Anyway, I recommend a rental before purchasing this game because it rocks for some but not for all. =)… Expand
