Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3

Official Website

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.

Hot Games

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.

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.

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.

GamerWeb Sony

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.

PSX Nation

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

GamePro

Tokyo Xtreme Boredom.

Could be prefect if only wanderers could be found more easily... Great selection of cars... Nice graphics... Race on dude!!!

Jesse M. gave it a 10:
One of the most in depth racing games i have ever played. All the trouble the creaters went throught to recreate the cars and the environment is a welcome surprise to anyone who can appreciate a good tuner race game. I give this game a perfect score as the only competition is from GT3, and this game has so many more features that GT3 can't touch which makes this game for true enthusiasts.

Mike C. gave it a 9:
This game is great. I have a lancer w/ 500 hp, a s2000 w/ 515hp, and a supra w/ 600hp and i have beat 368/400 racers. The only thing i dont like about the game are the crashes and if they make another one they should make it so u can play online...that would be SWEET!

Joe B. gave it a 9:
I love the game. but i think it could have had crash graphics, and regular street roaming abillities.
