Wangan Dead Heat
Part of franchise:
Tokyo Xtreme Racer
(last 3 games)
Import Tuner Challenge is set on the Shuto Expressways of Tokyo, Japan. There a total of 415 rivals in the game. It features C1 and Shinkanjo like many other TXR games but unlike TXR3, Import Tuner Challenge does not feature the highways of Nagoya, Osaka, and Yokohama. But two new highway sections of Tokyo are in the game which are Rt.3 Shibuya and Rt.4 Shinjuku.
The mountains of Japan are calling - and so are your racing rivals. With the mysterious disappearance of the reigning champion, the tournament crown is suddenly up for grabs. Many will vie, only one can win. Do you have what it takes to race, grind and drift your way to the ultimate racing prize? Race in the dangerous mountains of Japan - Hakone, Niko, Haruna and Akagi - all faithfully recreated using the most advanced laser techniques to maintain every tight twist and turn.
Genki's racing games have typically fallen into the Shutokou Battle series, a collection of late-night racing games that put you on the highways surrounding Tokyo. The company's latest PS2 racer, Racing Battle: C1 Grand Prix, maintains many of the same gameplay mechanics that Genki's other games contain, but this time it takes the cars off of the streets and drops them onto proper racetracks. Racing Battle will contain licensed cars. The version on display only has a handful, including an RX-7, a Supra, an Integra, an Impreza, and an S2000. The car models in the game look decent. They're nice and smooth, but they don't seem to be quite as detailed as the car models in some other comparable racing games. Like most other racing games, Racing Battle has multiple camera angles. But the first-person angle is pretty interesting. From this view, you get indicators that show how hard you're steering, accelerating, or braking. You also get a second, TV-style camera angle in a small window at the top of the screen. This is cool because it gives you a good idea of what's going on near your car. It's easy to see cars coming up behind you with this view and more effective than a standard rearview mirror. The gameplay in Racing Battle is roughly the same as what Genki has done with Shutokou and Kaido Battle series. Each car is associated with a fighting gamelike life meter, and the car in second place constantly loses pieces of its life meter. When one car runs out of "health," the race ends and a winner is declared.

Wangan Dead Heat is a spin-off of Genki's Shutokou Battle (aka Tokyo Xtreme Racer) series. This Saturn game combines the typical arcade racing of the time with a career mode consisting of the player attempting to woo women by driving fast and safe. FMV's would play depending on how the player did, and being successful eventually leads to (supposedly) the women stripping their clothes, hence the 18 age rating. This Version includes a bonus disk jammed with more FMV's lewd enough to warrant a yellow label warning. Unfortunately, the quality of the FMV footage on the bonus disk is poor without the Saturn MPEG card being installed, but it still runs without one.
Rev up for the road race of the century! Highway 2000 delivers driving excitement with all cylinders firing! Fly through five harrowing highway courses with your choice of three high-performance racing machines - the speed and handling of the Mad Viper, the awesome acceleration of the Dark Nebula and the stick-to-the-road grip of the Rapid Fire. Slide with all four wheels into a hairpin curve. Negotiate treacherous tunnels, narrow bridges and heavy highway traffic. Challenge a fellow racer to a winner takes all split-screen barn burner! You can see the action from above, from the road or your driver's seat. It's your road! Get out onto the highway and go! This is the Australian/European version of Wangan Dead Heat, released in Japan. This version cut all of the content relating to wooing women in the career, a large part of the Japanese release. It is a spin-off of Genki's Shutokou Battle racing series.
177 is the number of the Japanese criminal legislation paragraph that forbids rape. The game, however, does just the opposite: it puts the player in control of a man who must pursue a fleeing young girl and rape her. The game has two gameplay modes. The first is a side-scrolling arcade sequence during which the player has to prevent the girl from reaching her house, and avoid the hazards on the protagonist's way. These include stones, barriers, animals such as dogs and turtles, etc., and can be avoided by destroying or jumping over them. The protagonist runs automatically, but the player can increase or decrease the distance between him and the running girl. In order to make the girl choose the wrong way and fail to find her house, the protagonist throws stones at her (these can also be used to kill animals and destroy obstacles). After the protagonist has caught the girl, the game switches into sex simulation. The player pushes arrow keys in a specific order to correspond with the protagonist's movements. The goal is to sexually satisfy the girl. If the player fails, the protagonist is arrested; if he succeeds, the girl marries the protagonist.
Shutokō Battle R is the third installment in the Shutokō Battle series for the PlayStation. This time, however, the action is not limited to Tokyo - it has spread to the Osaka metropolitan area. There are three game modes to choose from: Scenario: Try to beat the clock as well as your competitors to the finish line. The points you earn can be used to upgrade your car in the machine shop. Practice: You can practice driving before you try it on the real thing. Link Race: Connect another PlayStation and play against another player. The more opponents you defeat, the quicker you will be able to meet the challenge of professional driver and street legend Keiichi Tsuchiya.
OutRun 2, usually stylized as OutRun2, is a 2003 racing game released by Sega for the arcades. Although this is the first "official" sequel to Out Run, it is the fourth title in the OutRun series.

Reckless Racing is back with dirtier racetracks, more epic power slides, eye-popping graphics and the largest selection of cars and trucks to date.

Another masterpiece from the creators of Traffic Racer. This time, you are behind the wheels of a motorbike in a much more detailed gaming experience, but also retaining the old school fun and simplicity. Traffic Rider takes the endless racing genre to a whole new level by adding a full career mode, first person view perspective, better graphics and real life recorded bike sounds. The essence of smooth arcade racing is still there but in the shell of the next generation. Ride your bike in the endless highway roads overtaking the traffic, upgrade and buy new bikes to beat the missions in career mode.
The player drives a Formula One car in a time trial on one of four race tracks, each of which has a different difficulty level. Difficulty is gauged by the length of the course, the number of cars and oil slicks on the track, and the number of bridges to cross. The player views the race from a top-down perspective, and the screen scrolls from right to left. The player's car maneuvers only on a vertical axis, and loses a little speed when it does so. The joystick's button is the throttle: Depressing it accelerates, and releasing it decelerates. Pressing the joystick leftward applies the brake. The transmission audibly shifts as the player's car accelerates and decelerates. Grand Prix is a time trial, and the competing cars are obstacles rather than competition for the finish line. The player's car can easily outpace the other cars, but if it collides with one, its speed drops lower than that of the impacted car. Driving over an oil slick causes the player's car to skid slightly sideways, but does not slow it down. Once every scale mile, the player crosses a narrow bridge over blue water. Colliding with any wall of the bridge stops the car, and the player must slowly gain speed to continue.
