Heh, that makes my day. As long as I've convinced somebody to give it a shot, thats all that matters. Its an incredible game, and like I said, everything you loved about Zero is back, but this time, you can y'know..CONTROL your car. Haha..it wasn't that bad in Zero, but the physics were a lil fishy..they're good in 01 (3..) I mostly drive RX-7's though..so I've got a nice power to weight ratio, and RX-7's are handling beasts anyway. I've got an FD and an FB (rockin it old school..the 1978-1985 model =P) I've got a Fairlady (Z33 350 Z) Z as well, but I got it for my girlfriend to drive in the game (she likes 350's alot), I don't like it much, but it'll be sweet once I engine swap it, you really feel pretty helpless in an N/A car in that game..with a lack of turbo to boost you once bosses start catching up in the straights, you're screwed. But I guess its fun for a challenge..I love the engine swaps on that game, imagine yourself blasting down the streets of Tokyo in a godly turbocharged V8 powered Trueno >.> heh. Anywho, yeah man, go buy the game, NOW. I highly reccomend it. Ignore what magazines say just because Crave/Genki don't pay them off to say that the game rocks..if you check
www.gamefaqs.com 's reviews of the game, they're the most honest available (they're people who went out and bought the game themselves). Game Informer is basically the only magazine who didin't crap all over the game. But still didin't do it justice. (Although their custom paint jobs did look pretty good..), as a TXR/Racing fan, you will NOT at all be disappointed.
