It's weird to see a Initial D game released before the anime, so the official version of the game lacks the classic Eurobeat soundtrack. This may take away half of the fun, but thankfully there's a mod that fixes it, which turns the game into a an early 32-bit version of the Arcade Stages that people are more used too.

The driving is kinda weird but its between the Special Stage and the Extreme Stage games in terms of handling.

It's perfectly beatable if you put some effort on it and memorize the turns in each race.

Played the story mode of this one as my friends watched on and we had a blast--the art is great and it looks great too. The racing feels a liiiiitle loosy-goosey but on the whole it was fun!

The aesthetics of this game are insane. Kinda jank controls but really fun anyway, totally playable without knowing japanese.
