How Metascores Are Calculated

Bigs 2, The
Stars indicate the most critically-acclaimed games. |
 GAMES: 
Dip into the illegal underground racing experience on the Tokyo highways once again, flash your headlights at other cars to challenge them to races, and compete for money to upgrade your ride. "Zero," the latest game in the TXR series, adds more cars, more rival racers, and a larger street course which replicates 100 miles of actual Tokyo highways.
All critic scores are converted to a 100-point scale. If a critic does not indicate a score, we assign a score based on the general impression given by the text of the review. Learn more... 100

What do caviar, waterbeds, and David Lynch films have in common? They’re all unique acquired tastes - as is the Tokyo Xtreme Racer series. Once you’re hooked on the “scene”, though, you’ll never let go.

All Game Guide
If you're a fan of illegal racing, or of those souped up imports from Japan, this is definitely a game you'll enjoy.

Da Gameboyz
While the game conveys a good sense of realism, I can't help feel that it's somewhat linear. The tracks become too familiar until more are unlocked. Otherwise, Tokyo Extreme Racer is excellent.

TotalPlayStation
With TXR Zero, gamers not only get a PlayStation 2 version of the game, but they get the best one, hands down.
84
GameSpy
Anyone who is into racing or tuning will think that they have stumbled upon the proverbial pot of gold with TXRZ. While the somewhat repetitive style of competition in the game will turn off some, the game is simply too exciting and fun to even notice.
83
IGN
"GT3" is still the king, but TXR makes a cracking giant-exhaust-cone-bedecked court jester.

Electric Playground
For those in the know, the actual Tokyo highways have been painstakingly recreated, so consider this the ultimate vacation.

Gamezilla!
The huge amount of available roadway and varied collection of opponents will keep you racing for a good long time, but if you’re not a dedicated racing junkie then there’s not much here to catch your attention.

GameSpot
Tokyo Xtreme Racer: Zero is not without its flaws, but the game's unique battle system and realistic sense of speed make it one of the most entertaining racing games on the PlayStation 2.

If you're sucked in to the experience, you will find that there's plenty to do; cars to customize and challengers to crush. Although some may find it cumbersome and repetitive, the idea is sound, and the game comes out fairly clean in the end.

Happy Puppy
Think of it as falling in between "Ridge Racer" and Gran "Turismo." If you are a car fanatic who would rather spend $1,000 on nice rims than pay off a student loan, this might be the racer for you.

Gaming Age
It has all the charm and addictive qualities of its Sega-based brethren, with better graphics and more features, to boot.

Just mute that terrible music and you'll be set, mmkay?
