  • Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift review. www.ClassicGame... Classic Game Room reviews TOKYO XTREME RACER DRIFT for PlayStation 2 from Crave Entertainment and Genki. This installment in the excellent Tokyo Xtreme Racer driving series concentrates on drifting around corners for points instead of highway driving. Drift for points, earn cash, buy and upgrade cars and race against gang members with silly names. You know the drill.... Prepare to grind and grind and drive the same tracks over and over again though, Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift suffers from some tedious gameplay and repetition. Fans of racing may be turned off by the emphasis on e-brake sliding around corners as well. CGR Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift (Tokyo Extreme Racer Drive) video review feature Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift gameplay recorded from PS2. TXR Drift has excellent visuals and loads of licensed cars like the Nissan GT-R, Nissan 300ZX, Audi, Toyota and Subaru SVX... but alas, there's no El Camino :(

    Apparently there was a time in history where physics allowed drifting to be the fastest way around corners.
    Never forget.

    I used to have this game. It was hard to control (or I really just sucked) and it was actually faster for me to use the walls and guard rails to turn. I actually won a lot of the races like that. lol

    nah i like the way mark reviews. he gives you a good look at the game, talks about the mechanics and gameplay in depth enough, and lets the viewer make their own decision on whether the game is right for them or not. none of the reviews are misleading this way :) also you cant say he didn't criticize it, he pointed out how the races don't make use of the drifting factor of the game, sounds like criticism to me.

    I have been looking for anything that does good reviewing (youtube channel, website, etc) anything that is good at reviewing by actually telling me what is good/bad about a video game, and not just giving me a stupid number like 5/10, 2/10, 10/10, honestly I don't care about numbers. Recently someone pointed me toward this channel. Honestly if this video is an example of your work, I think I am going to really enjoy watching your videos.

    you just need to spend a lot time playing this game to really play it the way it was supposed to be played. This game has a HUGE learning curve. Im talking about weeks, not hours here. You need to play this game often and a LOT to learn how to drift in it. Once you do, its quite amazing! THEN drifting in this game becomes fun and USEFUL. UA-cam up some videos, you'll find ppl who spend days playing this and mastering the drifting. A lot of people just give up however b/c of the learning curve.

    There's another racing/drifting game out there for the PS2, it's Battle Gear 2 and Battle Gear 3. Both Japan Only. Battle Gear 2 has a European version called Tokyo Road Race. It's got to be the best drifting game I've played, especially Battle Gear 4 for the arcade.

  • @ipodxdude

    yeah because this game is more zen, it came from a time when we didn't know what worked so we innovated, it came from a time when game developers spent time making their games, it was from a time when we weren't given a half made game and had to buy the rest of it, it was fucking zen

    I never said "MARIO 64 AND OCARINA OF TIME SUCKS BECAUSE ARE OLD", and I don't think that, but in certain games, in a genre that has a specific goal (in Gt it would be simulation) the latest version of the game is simply better, and better and your favourite aren't the same thing, you obviusly can like more gt2, but it's not an opinion that gt5 is technically better.

  • @JDMHaze

    This game was a newer than Tokyo extreme racer. Zero by few years I don’t understand why the graphics look like they are from 1996. Extreme racer zero and three, had very good graphics, especially for the time, even by today’s standards, they look good

    • @HeartbrokenHeartshooter
      @HeartbrokenHeartshooter Рік тому

      Higher quality models in the world. I know it’s really hard to tell in this era, but the problem here was actually lighting. One of the old school tricks was to drop lighting quality for performance. They put a lot of high quality models in the game, because there’s a lot of terrain close to the player instead of open highways. Then they couldn’t balance the performance with the lighting effects from TXRZ so they drop them down.
      In the long run it ends up looking worse for this game, but pays off in the others as you can see a dramatic increase in quality once they figured out how to light these new models.

  • @UndefinedNerd
    @UndefinedNerd 12 років тому

    I agree with you, but he obviously focuses on quantity over quality, which is not a bad thing. Hes review count has 6 digits, so the coverage of games - systems is extensive. I sometimes wonder how does he pull it off. But thats the thing, he is not doing deep review as like IGN would do, he rather plays the game for few hours and tells the people what he thinks of the game. And i like that.

    Even though it's miles better than TXRD1, since you're not that into drifting and complex driving mechanics, you might want to skip it.

I get that it's their first version of it but the loading screens, grinding the stupid day time for cash, loading screens, the message board to start certain race into another loading a screen getting out...rinse and repeat until you lose you mind.I gave up playing this game and like you said the AI is annoying. They ram you into the walls. Why can't I just earn cash by a racing people...(drift 2 brought this in) I did my first ever review on this game because I was so disappointed by a Genki game I just had to warn people.
