Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Curious about those individuals who drive tricked-out Japanese cars? You know, the lowered Hondas with tYres so wide they extend beyond the fenders, the souped-up Toyotas with super-sized exhaust pipes and the custom-painted Nissans with tinted windows and back windshields adorned with a adjectives such as "wicked"?
Wonder no more. Tokyo Highway Challenge delves into the world of highway racing featuring customised Japanese autos. The basic premise: cruise the Tokyo highway until you find someone who looks a bit too cocky, flash your lights to signal your racing intentions and commence speeding. The racing physics in the game aren't perfect and the graphics may not bowl you over, but Tokyo Highway Challenge is a lot of fun and it can be a very deep game for dedicated players.
There are hundreds of prospective opponents, and plenty of ways to upgrade your car, but the one element that will no doubt turn off British racing gamers is that there's only one track for the entire game. If you can handle that, and the lack of any apparent damage from collisions, then Tokyo Highway Challenge is good fun. --Jeff Young
Pros:
- high replayability
- impressive replays
- unique concept and design
- only one track
- graphics are nice, but don't push the Dreamcast's capabilities
Manufacturer's Description
The programming team responsible for the fantastic Dreamcast version of Virtua Fighter 3 has struck with yet another hit. Tokyo Highway Challenge throws you amongst the Skyscrapers of downtown Tokyo. Here, under the cloak of darkness, speed freaks and car fanatics run illegal road races. Forget everything you ever learned about Inner City speed limits. In Tokyo Highway Challenge the only thing that counts is the rush of speed.

A superb idea which just doesnt cut the mustard.This is street racing where you challenge other drivers on the highway to a race. Out pace your rival, you win lots of cash.The more cash you accumalate the better car will be in your garage.The only trouble is,with only one track bordom soon arrives.

This is a deeply, astonishingly lonely game. Taking place on an endless Japanese highway, your faceless and nameless driver will travel around until the game is over. You will pass towering city office blocks - each one of them, we will assume, contains hundreds of workers, all of whom have dreams and aspirations that we will never understand - and, over and over again, that glowing building somewhat resembling the Eiffel Tower (you must excuse my lack of relevant knowledge). This game... this game is horribly flawed, though so are you and so am I. Do you love me? Likely not. Do I love you? I do, yet I acknowledge that perhaps I shouldn't, since I only know of your slight curiosity for forgotten Dreamcast games. Consider this disc as plastic existential calm, nothing more. Its minimalism and inhumanity suggests emotion at its subtlest, and with the right mindset such characteristics can make an indelible impact on your soul's perspective. As I say, existential calm.

Brilliant! - but then............,
This review is from: Tokyo Highway Challenge (Dreamcast) (Video Game)
At first I didn't like Tokyo Highway and wished I had saved my money. It was probably because I started in the arcade mode racing driver after driver with nothing happening. It was when I tried Quest mode my whole view switched right around. The game suddenly became fantastic. I had my MR2 fully upgraded and thrashed my opponents all day long. It was shortly after buying the porsche I realised the problem. I completed the game easily with it. Then the only thing that could be done to make me happy was to upgrade it to its full potential. The horror then struck me....after beating all rivals you just can't win decent amounts of money. It's near impossible which makes upgrading your car pure hell. The game just becomes pathetic after that as you challenge the same rivals beating them everytime yet getting small amounts of money. Buy it if you're pants at games because you'll never complete it, but if you're pure class like me then buy the second game - Tokyo Highway Challenge 2
