  1. For fans of Tokyo Xtreme Racer, Import Tuner Challenge is a must-buy.
  2. Sadly Import Tuner Challenge doesn't re-invent the wheel and feels exactly the same as "Tokyo Extreme Racer." This isn't necessarily a bad thing although I do feel more could have been added other than the obvious graphical upgrade.
  3. Tuning the numerous parts of your car provides for some decent variation, but you'll soon figure out that the actual gameplay just isn't very good.

  1. Other great racing title. Import Tuner Challenge can not be original, fresh, better, but is really funny. The system for personalize your car is great, the tracks are repetitive, the cars are cool. This game is funny, no more. Expand

  2. What this one lacks in technical prowess, it more than makes up in addictivity. Impromptu racing on Tokyo highways has never been this fast, fluent, and fun. Not necessarily a classic but an entertaining racer nonetheless! Expand
