Classic Game Room HD reviews TOKYO XTREME RACER 3 for the Playstation 2. Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3 on PS2 is a driving/combat/strategy game where players race against rival gangs with silly names on the highways of Japan. Unlike previous games in the series, Tokyo Extreme Racer 3 has roads winding through the freeway systems of Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya. They all look pretty similar though, dark with some neon on buildings. Even though TXR3 is technically a driving game the game's strength is in the competition, customization and highly addictive gameplay. Drive cars from major manufacturers like Toyota, Nissan and Hyundai. Win money and supercharge them with 600 hp engines and get sucked into the addiction that is Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3. Even if the game is impossible to finish (because of a glitch), for a reasonable price you'll get weeks of enjoyment and competition from this sub par driving game that is a wildly fun highway combat game. This CGR review of Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3 has gameplay from the PS2 version of Tokyo Extreme Racer 3 on Playstation 2.

Tokyo Extreme Racer Zero had licensed cars. The reason why they all had different names is because each car went by their chassis code name instead of using their model names. Thats why most people are so confused when they find that their favourite cars bear a strange code name.

@Subsistence97 6 жыл бұрын

actually thats partially true. They went by their chassis code but were still unlicensed. If you emulate it and upscale the resolution, the badges are all slightly modified (ex: instead of Mazda RX-7, the badge would say MADDA RR7, or Olivia instead of nissan silvia)

The driving isn't nearly as bad as it seems, cars can't just turn on a dime at 150 mph in real life. This game is incredibly in depth not only in the tuning aspect but the game it's self. Being able to to race certain cars on certain days or certain directions, changing weather, water and oil temp to monitor (unlike other games), and the infamous wanderers, which can only be raced under certain conditions. This game was fantastic and i can only hope they make a reincarnation of it

The driving is awful. The cars handle like utter ass...just absolutely slippery all the time, almost like drift cars I suppose. But it's still fun, and addictive, particularly if you love jdm cars, not to mention rpg elements of unlocking better parts for your car and boss and super boss battles in car forms. Id say this game influenced me in real life nearly 20 years later my real life daily is a clean jdm (rhd) 1994 MR2 GT-S that I had imported from Japan. And he's right speed is everything, hp/weight, brakes aren't particularly important compared to those.

I got this game because of this review and I've gotta thank CGR for that. The whole soap with lead blocks thing is the best way to describe it once you've played it. It take quite a while, but it was just so addicting. Though I would say the wanderer racers condition to race them are so insane, you need a guide just to figure out how to get to them. I love it all the same though, and I wish I could see a true sequel. Thanks CGR for the recommendation.

They call the car by its body style... by that meaning they call the car by its serial number of the body style... just wanted to add that into the comment so viewers who doesn't know about this can have a bit of more insight...

Because the GT5's special stage is just a part of the Tokyo highway, but the Tokyo Xtreme Racer contains every part of the Tokyo highway. You can even choose different route when you're driving. That's a biggest charm of the series. In fact, they are the actual highway in Tokyo, they really exist! You may see it on the map!

I have beaten this one more dozens of times than I can remember. no glitches after a download to repair it as I remember. I have many of them yet & enjoyed them immensely. Driving in it is easier when you keep your thumb off the steering control, but just "titch" it in the desired direction. It's a lot smoother that way. Wondering if the new PS4 can handle the older games? I have a ton of them. Need for speed underground too.
