Worth buying.
If you like Initial D, you will like this game. It has everything that the arcade versions have, and even though the physics are different from V3 and V4 it's still an enjoyable game. The graphics may not be as great as other driving games, but you probably don't play Initial D for the graphics anyway. If you don't understand Japanese the menus might be difficult to navigate.

A great game
I just got mine last Thursday. It's a great game I should say, it has a fast learning curve, even though the Japanese language can set you off for a while. Thanks play-asia for the fast delvery!

=D
Very good game. Plays just like V2. Although if u understand the arcade physics, or ur a good player in IDAS V2 OR V3... this game might be very easy to begin with. Some of the courses that aren't included in V2 or V3 will be a challenge... This game lasts very long...

I love it!
I've played this briefly in the arcades, and I just got this for my Japanese PS2. I love it! I definitley enjoy the fact that you are playing a game that is in "Japan" mountainside. It makes me feel like I'm right there, racing the hillsides with my homies, outside of Osaka and Tokyo.

Screens are not that hard to understand, but the storyline is impossible, if you don't speak Japanese. I don't, so I might look for a little translation help.

This was included as part of a package I bought on another website, but I would say its worth at least US$20.00. Not more than US$40.00. US$34.99 seems like a fair price to me. I like the idea of seeing the racers and the cars they are associated with. I would like to see a sexy girl racer in the next outing. That would be sweet!

This looks good
Just got this game from an auction and looking forward to playing it. Played in arcades a few times. Lacking in some areas, but excellent in others. Should be fun!
