This was the best TXR. They had a sick car collection cause they didn't license any of the cars so they put in whatever they wanted. I was pumped as a kid in like 01-02 cause txr had an e36 and my dad was building one at the time. 2 days after we swapped in the m3 transmission we took it to the premiere of fast n furious. That car ended up being the first 1000whp e36 328 and first to run a 9 sec pass in 2006-07. Since i was into cars I always hated the nfs series. Txr and my import building pops influenced who I am today. This old guy needs a remake so bad... sry for the essay😂
Have you seen Assetto Corsa and all the mods? They made a Tokyo highway map with traffic that you can play online. They also have the best drifting. It is phenomenal and you can play in VR!!! Check it out if you don’t already know.
And it's like rpg not only because you upgrade, but because you FEEL like you are the legend of tokyo on it's legendary quest for greatness. You roleplay, trully get invested in it.
Mannnnn, the way I found out about this game was my dad taking us to a pawn shop and I saw a little stand with PS2 games, and I saw the cover for TXR0, and was like, "DAD, LOOK! A RACING GAME. I NEED IT! PLEASE!" Fast forward to present day, I still play this game and every time I play, I complete 100% The most challenging racing game I've ever played. Not only the difficulty, but the requirements for this game is what sets it apart from other racers. Great review, man!
I'm playing through TXRD2 (Kaido 3) and for as complicated as it can get to progress through the quest mode in this series, it does so many things that Modern racers would benefit from so much. It feels so much like a racing rpg. I like Unboud but I would love it if it followed more closer to Kaido 3 where you had to defeat every single rival with its weekly format. I personally adore this series and more modern racers need to take notes especially with the series overarching story
This was the best racing game i ever played literally ever the vibe from this game and the feelings you get from playing no game since or dare i say ever will be able to compare to this
"The jdm classics" except they weren't classics back then. They were new... that's crazy.. I remember this was my first game of the Tokyo extreme racer series, went on to get 3, and drift..now as a 33 year old I still reminisce back to when I was 11 playing this game. Wish I could go back
I absolutely hate how every rival bio and named was localized in the west compared to the original Japanese version. Dejected Angel is Setsuko Kuroe, not Shirley Jimenez or something.
I got up to speed king one night, his intro caught me off guard, you can say I was nervous and mouth was a gap, everytime he pass me he was gone, blink 3 time and no more tail light lol this game was fun
Still my favorite racing game series of all time to this day. I sold my dreamcast a couple decades ago, but bought another one maybe 4 years ago just so I could own TXR 1 and 2 again.
You actually don’t have to do the rubber band trick. All you have to do is race and then let the car go into self drive and leave the game running. No need to use the controller. 😎
Great summary of the game Kingdom! Its so well explained and condensed. This reminded me to start a new file and get a perfect game(400 wins 0 losses no rematching no exiting and entering the map to refresh vehicle performance between boss chains etc) Looking forward to the coveted final race on your channel!! One day hopefully🙏
This brings back so many memories 😢 just randomly thought of it cause my mom asked me "what game you use to play with the steering wheel " damn this game was fire !!!
I've been on the Shuto in real life, and it was because of TXR. I have also collected all the games in the series from Shutokou Battle 94, all the way to Shutokou Battle X, each game in Japanese and English. I had made it a goal to Japan when I found out the Shuto was real, and the game's Shuto used the actual map data. I rented the Evo 6 from Omoshiro. I go back in about a month, I will be doing the same in their R34, and will do alot more videos. ua-cam.com/video/mJ5yP-UTcBo/v-deo.html
That's amazing! I'd like to own an Evo V or S15 next. I had an R33 for 2 years. One day I'll make it to Japan. Good thing is I have the Wangan memorized so I could drive the whole thing 👌
Well, this game is simply an uplift of Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2 on the Dreamcast released years before, and which had better speed sensation and better texture (but less realism graphic and light effect). It's essentially the very same game. That being said, Tokyo Xtreme racer 2 is indeed one of the best Racer of all time, so the argument still hold.
I found this game in a game store at the sea tac mall. It was maybe 2002 2003. Played this game for years, still was never able to beat it. I remember getting a viper and maybe a camo evo by the time i stopped playing it. Absolutely insane, i loved it. It's crazy that opponents only became available when driving certain cars at certain times
@@KingdomTwelve I want to say TXR3 is my favorite because of the iconic rivals, the three cities, the interesting non-JDM car choices (who would've expected a friggin' Pantera in that game?!), and the catchy-yet-annoying soundtrack. However, I do have to say that Zero probably has a better soundtrack overall, a better car selection because of Honda alone even though it has the Gran Turismo problem of pointless multiple trims of the same cars, a better and more consistent difficulty curve compared to TXR3 even though Zero is more grind-heavy, and just the right amount of content so that it doesn't get too tedious in the later parts of the game whereas TXR3 can drag on at points.
engine swap os in 3 not zero, zero you get the mileage parts which are the best parts in the game. personally I liked the engine swap on 3 better, though it's kind of useless on cars that are already very fast. You don't get any special options for the viper or the v12 benz or any other car like that. But you can make a lot of slow cars insanely fast.THe bad system gives you a custom name depending on what team sticker you have on the car, if its on a car that the team would drive (rolling guy sticker on a Ae86 will make you rolling guy number 0) If all else fails use the same care as the leader.
In reference to using team stickers to change the BAD Name, if you are driving a vehicle from that team with the Team sticker on it you will get a unique BAD Name that doesnt change, Example You drive a first Gen Eclipse and Put a Team Alpha sticker on the car as one of their drivers also drives a first gen Eclipse your BAD Name becomes, "Far East Killer" this also works in a similar way in TXR3 and Import Tuner Challenge But instead of using any of the teams cars, you must be driving the same Model car as the Team LEADER, In Import Tuner Challenge you drive an R34 and put a Freeway Sticker on the back window and get the BAD Name Freeway Samurai. There are modern day Triple A games that dont come even CLOSE to the amount of Depth The TXR series has
When my dad bought me my PS2 back in 2004 this was the first game I got. It was the only racing game in the display case and I’m glad I got it. Today I still have my PS2 hooked up to my TV. Complete with The classic blue and red memory cards and OEM controllers. Only thing I wish is that there was some sort of way to get HD on it.
I would have loved to fill the gaps of what the cutscenes would have contained. Can't seem to find info on it on our side of the pond. I remember being very confused by suddenly unlocking the new areas and not getting any kind of dialogue or intro cutscene. It's like you know there's something that's supposed to be there and it's not lol
Can anyone offer advice about getting this game on PC. This was my FIRST video game. I smashed so many hours into this as a kid. Please any advice would be appreciated
One of my favorite racing games ever. And I'm a racing nut. I miss this one so much. They need to either remake this game, or just release the original game in its original format 👍🏾
Had to like and sub just for this video, was listening to some gran turismo music today and got me in the racer vibe and I wanted to check out a video on this game cause I wish I could play it
My favorite was txr3. When I found out what SP stood for, it started to make sense. Spirit Points. If you fall back, you lose your Spirit. Eventually losing the race. I never got 100%, I think I got to 97%. I restarted so many times, to see if it was something I was doing wrong. In txr3 you could go to the PA and talk to ppl and hear rumors about wanderers. It was by far my favorite. I was late to the party so txr3 was the only one I really got to play. I could only rent earlier versions so I couldn't really dive into them. I wish we could get a modern version. I honestly wouldn't care if it was copied and pasted with new gen graphics. They did get close with Import Tuner Challenge on xbox 360. They didn't have all the rivals but it was a good play. I have multiple saves with a 100% completion. Dang, I think I'm going to bust out the 360 now. Lol
It took me a few years but i smoked all 400 racers. The last one sadly crashed in the begin of the race so it was a pity but by far best strekt race game ever.
I wish I could force wheel support to this game via pcsx2. I love this game (my favorite in the series) and is a tragedy that we can't play it with a logitech wheel
@@KingdomTwelve at least Tokyo xtreme Racer Drift 2 has wheel support and I highly recommend that game if you like zero. It has touge battles with life bars, but also various trials, ginkana and even rally events. Second best game in the series (also racers from Zero make cameos on Drift 2)
Dude if this game gets remastered with even more vehicles and modern graphics, it would win game of the year. Maybe even adding anime characters behind the drivers, especially with their back stories
@@KingdomTwelve I was referring to your narration but yeah TXR intro’s go hard. I think when I was a young kid I spent more time watching the intro’s then playing the actual games lol!
I miss this game, I used to play it all the time when I was in the military. I really wish they would bring this series back. Be a hell of a lot better then the last few NFS released 😢😢
i have to say, i loved tokyo xtreme racer 2 even tho it gave me grey hairs and this is literrarly txr 2 but better,in my view this is peak tokyo xtreme racer
Playing TXR0 with my old middle school homie, who named his Evo III ‘Senor Pescado’ got me into this. I beat it in 2011-2012, full 100% all 400 drivers beaten. It was so fucking good.
Bought it 2 years ago, just to add to my ps2 collection. Was expecting a rather bad game... and it turned out to be the best arcade racing game that i've ever played, and easly one of the best games i've ever played. Not because of any particular element, on the contrary, taken apart most elements were average if not sub-par (apart from killer soundtrack), but brought together added up to sooo much more than just the sum of it's parts. Never have i ever felt this way playing racing game before. It was like being a character in anime, a Goku in racing. So incredible adventure, pure magic. There is nothing like the feeling of stalking your overpowered opponent, luring him into C1 loop while "Night Fly" plays in the background. I drove a Nissan Silvia for the majority of game, red and black paint, kinda like Skyline Silhouette - and for me this wasn't just a car, in my mind it became a legend of Tokyo. This was the best about this game, that you felt like the f***ing chosen one.
Fuck yes! Glad you enjoyed it and got the same feeling most of us do! Try out Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3 which has more rivals and 3 areas! Then Import tuner challenge on the xbox360. Tokyo xtreme racer drift/2 is also REALLY good!
I used to have all of the Tokyo Xtreme racer games and still have Import Tuner challenge for the 360. The first game that got me hooked on Japanese car culture was Tokyo Highway Battle in the 90's. In the early 2000s i made several trips to Japan to feed my passion for cars and samurai history. Now my son is into JDM cars and playing Tuner Challenge. Lol And yes, i used to own a few JDM cars. Lol
I recently rebought a ps2 and this was the first game I bought with it. I played this for hours and hours back in the early 2000s. I remember I picked up a copy at best but for $20 on Black Friday.
For me, this series, Dreamcast Shutoku 1,2, and PS2 Zero and 01, are the most entertaining games ever in my whole life, and the other series is Dynasty Warriors 1 and 2 on PS2
My street racing name was lightning valkyrie and i absolutely loved it. I may of missed it in your video, but thats also one of the best paets of the game for me, the fact that you earn your name reputation. Your name is fiven too you. Not created at the start of the game.
I remember being very young getting this game for cheap at my local Kmart. For some reason this game slipped from my memory up until now, it’s all coming back as I’m watching this. Such a nostalgia trip
I wish they did a new version for the ps5! I wouldnt play anything else anymore. I played zero and completed it 100%. I was so proud of myself..just downloaded the emulator and downloaded the game and I’m hooked all over again. This is so beautiful
I tought about it all day now to play this again. And getting another ps2. Any recommendations ??? of adapter I can get to use on my 4k tv to make it work what ever resolution I can get out of it. Definitely been thinking buying the xterme racer zero and 3rd one also. I would get a ps2 just for those 2 games.
While I'm watching these videos, your voice is already associated with the tuning-inspirational vision of these games, with their child infinite imaginative power, and with their warmth =))) Really, Kingdom, thank you! =))))
I missed out on cutscenes because I played the US version, played on PS2 but never had prolbem needing money glitch to full comple the game to final boos
Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3 with a 4K Texture Mod: ua-cam.com/video/hcnCG9mAG-0/v-deo.html
A lot of modern racers needs to learn from this series. I'm looking forward to what night runners brings to the table
Have Night Runners had any updates? I need to look into it. I remember it got delayed and went months without any news.
@@KingdomTwelve they dropped two new videos this month on their channel including one today
@@MelloDrive Interesting. Thanks for the info! I'll check it out later.
All NightRunners needs is power bars and it'll be the true successor. Need for Speed 2016 took notes from this series too.
The prologue is out 🎉
This series seriously needs a new installment on modern consoles.
Tokyo Xtreme racer zero and 3 need to be add to PlayStation plus classics catalogue it should have been added already, but it's not idk why?!
ITS BEEN CONFIRMED THANK YOU GENKI CO!!!!

Nothing like the first time encountering these bosses 👌
Thanks for making this, every once in awhile i look the game up for nostalgia
I loved this game I remember playing it on ps2. I beat it like 2 or 3 times. I think last time I played it probably was like 2006 or 2007
This game is GOAT I would love a remaster or even a new one!. The highway battles so intense.
Someone pay Genki to come back!
For real!
Still my favorite racing game series of all time to this day. I sold my dreamcast a couple decades ago, but bought another one maybe 4 years ago just so I could own TXR 1 and 2 again.
You actually don’t have to do the rubber band trick. All you have to do is race and then let the car go into self drive and leave the game running. No need to use the controller. 😎
As soon as I started reading this I was like OH YEA finish a race and let it auto drive 🤣👌
Yes the old auto drive I useta stay at my cousins for the weekend shut off my tv and let that auto drive goooooooo haha
The fact that this game had footage of the First Fast & Furious movie, IMMEDIATELY makes the series a 10/10 for me.
^^ this and the tokyo underground video 👌
Wish they remake this awesome game
hi, they are :)
Great summary of the game Kingdom! Its so well explained and condensed.

Download the emulator PCSX2 and then search for the ROM for TXR0. Watch a tutorial and BAM. It's easy.
Of all the crap games on PSN you think they could put Tokyo Extreme Racer series on there
^^ this
Just started playing it again. Had to buy a converter to play on my flat screen. Definitely need to make one for PS5.
If you have a PC, wide-screen patch, upscaling and a 4k mod does wonders. Although I think only TXR3 has a 4k mod right now.
I still play this game daily. That final race is a bitch

Where can i play i8t nowadays?
On computer through pcsx2, playstation 2 emulator
Playing TXR0 with my old middle school homie, who named his Evo III ‘Senor Pescado’ got me into this. I beat it in 2011-2012, full 100% all 400 drivers beaten. It was so fucking good.
💯
Bought it 2 years ago, just to add to my ps2 collection. Was expecting a rather bad game... and it turned out to be the best arcade racing game that i've ever played, and easly one of the best games i've ever played.
Not because of any particular element, on the contrary, taken apart most elements were average if not sub-par (apart from killer soundtrack), but brought together added up to sooo much more than just the sum of it's parts. Never have i ever felt this way playing racing game before. It was like being a character in anime, a Goku in racing. So incredible adventure, pure magic. There is nothing like the feeling of stalking your overpowered opponent, luring him into C1 loop while "Night Fly" plays in the background.
I drove a Nissan Silvia for the majority of game, red and black paint, kinda like Skyline Silhouette - and for me this wasn't just a car, in my mind it became a legend of Tokyo.
This was the best about this game, that you felt like the f***ing chosen one.
Fuck yes! Glad you enjoyed it and got the same feeling most of us do! Try out Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3 which has more rivals and 3 areas! Then Import tuner challenge on the xbox360. Tokyo xtreme racer drift/2 is also REALLY good!
I used to have all of the Tokyo Xtreme racer games and still have Import Tuner challenge for the 360. The first game that got me hooked on Japanese car culture was Tokyo Highway Battle in the 90's. In the early 2000s i made several trips to Japan to feed my passion for cars and samurai history. Now my son is into JDM cars and playing Tuner Challenge. Lol
And yes, i used to own a few JDM cars. Lol
NICE!! Sadly, I sold my R33 GTST, but man, I loved that car 😭😭 One day, I will make it over to Japan.
We need a Tokyo extreme racer community
There is a small discord for TXR.
I recently rebought a ps2 and this was the first game I bought with it. I played this for hours and hours back in the early 2000s. I remember I picked up a copy at best but for $20 on Black Friday.
A kid in 9th grade shop class showed me this. Had my dad take me to get it, never put it down 👌🙌
This game needs to be in a PS5 soon 🙏🏻
Would be nice
For me, this series, Dreamcast Shutoku 1,2, and PS2 Zero and 01, are the most entertaining games ever in my whole life, and the other series is Dynasty Warriors 1 and 2 on PS2
Facts! OG Dynasty Warriors was 👌
Fired up my PS2 for the first time in years just to play this game. Still the best racing game ever, IMO.
100% agree
The "i was just a kid" part got me bcuz same man! Half of the things i never full understood till today!
😭😭
Game is difficult tho
The bosses are hard, but everything else is usually way too easy.
The original was one of my fav dreamcast games... played the ps2 versions later... miss this series.. thx for the video
Best series 👌
Where can i play this on pc?
Emulator
My street racing name was lightning valkyrie and i absolutely loved it. I may of missed it in your video, but thats also one of the best paets of the game for me, the fact that you earn your name reputation. Your name is fiven too you. Not created at the start of the game.
At one point I was rainbow fairy 🧚♂️ ✨️ 🤣😭😭
Funny, searching to see if a new version is out after re beating TXR0 on my PS3 all these years later once again and here I am.
Genki put out a Twitter post 2 months ago about a new office space. It's been silent since then.
I remember being very young getting this game for cheap at my local Kmart. For some reason this game slipped from my memory up until now, it’s all coming back as I’m watching this. Such a nostalgia trip
Currently replaying TXR3 with a 4k Texture mod and it is a whole different game!
I dont understand how this game series has not continued .It is everything a racing game should be.
^^ It just didn't sell enough copies.
I wish they did a new version for the ps5! I wouldnt play anything else anymore.
I played zero and completed it 100%.
I was so proud of myself..just downloaded the emulator and downloaded the game and I’m hooked all over again.
This is so beautiful
Hell yeaaaa
Facts, wished they made a remaster for the ps5.
I tought about it all day now to play this again. And getting another ps2. Any recommendations ??? of adapter I can get to use on my 4k tv to make it work what ever resolution I can get out of it. Definitely been thinking buying the xterme racer zero and 3rd one also. I would get a ps2 just for those 2 games.
Not sure on an adapter. I've been playing them on an emulator even though I have the original games.
I play on AetherSX2 upscaled to 1080P, looks and plays great 60fps
The title says it all it really is the best imo
as a 13 ogre's enjoyer I have to say your name irks me lol
WHAT'S WRONG WITH TXRD2?!
@@KingdomTwelve game too good but not enough people play it man.
@@mbgmadbull1141 ^^ this!
My favorite game of all time , I have three ps2 copies lol..
Niceeee
While I'm watching these videos, your voice is already associated with the tuning-inspirational vision of these games, with their child infinite imaginative power, and with their warmth =))) Really, Kingdom, thank you! =))))
I should make a racer backstory for my next playthrough and do weird and wild narration 🤣👌
@@KingdomTwelve EXACTLY!!!
One of my favorite games to ever play still looking for it again
One of the GOATS
Is the sound of cars good ?
Not really. TXR3 had REALLY good car sounds. Even changing the exhaust would change the tone.
@@KingdomTwelve so
Only Tokyo Xtreme 3 has the Best Car Sounds in the series
extreme berserker was my name I miss this game still the best racing game ever we need this on ps5 multi-player
If they made a comeback, it would be epic!
I missed out on cutscenes because I played the US version, played on PS2 but never had prolbem needing money glitch to full comple the game to final boos
It really was fantastic wish it got a remaster or at least be on ps network so i could play on ps5
