Tokyo Xtreme Racer DRIFT 2 (known as Kaido: Touge no Densetsu in Japan and Kaido Racer 2 in Europe and Australia) is a racing game for the Playstation 2 console.

Race in the picturesque mountains of Japan - Hakone, Niko, Haruna and Akagi - all faithfully recreated using the most advanced laser techniques to maintain every tight twist and hazardous turn. Enter your car in sanctioned races held during the day for money, and enter at night to defeat your bitter rivals. The championship and glory are waiting.

  • For 1 to 2 players

[edit] Gameplay Modes

  • CA Battle: CA, or Corner Artist Battles focus on drifting through the mountain pass. Normally, time is not a factor in drifting, but TXRD2 added time limits that can have no effect or can force you to the limit, balancing speed, angle, and line into a perfect combination.
  • TA Battle: TA, or Time Attack Battles are runs against the clock. They show how truly talented you are at going fast. These races may or may not have ghosts which can add pressure to the match.
  • SP Battle: SP, or Spirit Point Battles are the basic racing mode of the night. In these, you race until one player crosses the finish line or the other runs out of 'Spirit' and loses instantly. If you lose a lot of SP in a race against a team member that isn't the leader, you will have reduced SP for the next race.
  • FL and LF Battles: FL/LF, or First-and-Last/Last-and-First Battles are a new addition to the DRIFT series. In these, one car starts directly in front of the other. If the lead car pulls 200m ahead, the race is over. Likewise, if the rear car pulls 100m ahead, that also ends the race. If neither of those happen, the car that finishes first wins. These races are employed mostly for Slasher battles and tougher opponents.
  • TAC Battles: TAC, or Time Attack Collision Battles are identical to TA Battles with an added feature: you now have SP to defend. If you hit the walls, you lose SP and, as always, you lose. These are one of the two more uncommon races.
  • CAT Battles: CAT, or Corner Artist Target Battles are commonly considered the essence of evil. In these extremely rare battles you must get a specific amount of CA Points each corner or you fail. These are pretty much reserved for Sponsor Tests.
