[edit] Plot overview

The game starts as the player races against Hanzo of Team Velocity on the Aqualine Bridge inside Twinkie's cousin's (Dizzy) car, which is either a Honda NSX or Toyota Supra (in the UK version)). From that point on, Hanzo gives the player money to buy a car, and the player begins to challenge racers throughout Tokyo. As the player races through, he or she can face characters from The Fast and the Furious films and professional drifters.

[edit] Features

This game features "Robo Garages", where cars are stored and then brought down by robots rather than parked in a garage. There are races on the Wangan, or on the local mountains. There are many unique types of races, such as top speed and drift battle. In drift battles, you try to drift longer than your opponent in order to get points.

[edit] Cars

The game includes many Japanese cars such as the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, Subaru Impreza STI, Toyota Supra, Honda NSX and the Nissan Skyline. There are also some American cars such as the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and the Shelby GT500.
