Back in December of 2012, little old me decided he was going to start learning Japanese in preparation for the upcoming Tsukihime remake. I never expected the game to come out a whole 9 years after that but it was incredibly exciting to be able to finally fulfill my goal of playing this game on release.
It's hard to say if Tsukihime remake is better than the original as a whole, considering we only have half of the routes so far, but I think it's pretty easy to say that the remake versions of Arcueid and Ciel's route are a big step up from the originals.
The art and direction are incredible, and while I do have some complaints related to certain changes to the villain lineup, I do think that nostalgia glasses aside pretty much every change made to the story was ultimately for the better.

Might actually be the greatest racing game of all time. A joyful fusion of JRPG and racing game. The customization aspect is incredible and it makes it so much fun to try and go through the game with all sorts of car types.
Soundtrack is just actually an absolute banger and listening to the music while driving around the towns never gets old.
The story is absolutely batshit insane and I love every second of it. It's absolutely ridiculous and played completely straight which makes it all very enjoyable.

Was expecting this to be kinda lame and shlocky in the way low budget licensed anime games tend to be but this game is actually pretty sweet. It's a non-canon story where Kaiji participates in restricted RPS aboard the Espoir a second time and you play as a random John Doe to try and fix your life.
Game has a couple branching paths and different endings and it's a pretty fun game if you like Kaiji. It's JUST restricted RPS but the game lets you scout information like what cards other participants have so you can count the cards and use all that info to your advantage like they do in the anime. Great stuff.

Had a lot of nostalgia for this game as a kid so I revisited it in 2023 and got gold medals in every single race event (not in Crash though). My conclusion is that it's an extremely fun and chaotic game when everything goes right, however traffic becomes a huge and infuriating issue with how often crashing a single time loses you a race instantly (especially on burning laps) and how often the game will just spawn a car right in front of you when going through crossings.
