description
Fans of this virtual racer have been waiting for five long years since Sega released Initial D Special Stage on PlayStation2. To justify this long wait, Sega upgraded this installment by making use of the advanced graphical capabilities of the PlayStation3 console, the visions of familiar cars and mountain regions are recreated with striking resemblances to reality, making the game play more exciting than ever.

The event scenes and characters are drawn with water color shading techniques similar to the style of the comic artist Shuichi Shigeno so players can experience a full absorption into the world of Initial D.

The old courses in the Gunma prefecture and characters as featured in the arcade games are included in this new installment. In addition to that, the developers put in new characters like the pro-racer Tomoyuki Tachi whom Takumi regards as his eternal rival and new courses in Happogahara.

The twenty eight race courses in the game are from the hilly regions of Akina and Myogi etc. There are twenty three cars and twenty six drivers to choose from and to beat. Collect points and customize your car, connect to the network and take on racers from all over the country and aim for the highest place in the National Time Attack rankings.

National Time Attack ranking records the data of the players who raced under the Time Attack mode. Download the ghost car data of the top racer in this chart and launch the Time Attack mode in the game.

*Note: This Asia version does NOT support online game modes.

Inital D fans unite!
This game is alot of fun if you like the anime! The cars are here and 9 courses will take you a long time to master! All cars can be upgraded you can even decal them like in the anime!

Only con is that you can only keep three cars in your garage at one time.

Would reccomend for any Inital D fan!

Mostly identical to Initial D Arcade Stage 4
I have played both Arcade Stage 4 in an arcade and this game, and the game is mostly identical. The dialogues are identical (the Arcade Stage 4 I played was in English but I can tell the dialogues are the same, and the cutscenes are the same) so if you're looking to play Arcade Stage 4 this is pretty much what you want to buy.

The only differences are steering feel and private character creation. Of course the arcade machine is going to have a different steering feel than your own steering wheel because the mechanism is different, there's not getting around that really- Not really a shortcoming. What's nice is that in the PS3 game you get to make a character with his or her own facial features (you can really make some pretty funny faces that way) and give the character its own Japanese name which is nice.

Coming from the perspective of a PS3 game alone, it's not really the best of the best- It's an amusing game by itself even if you're not an anime or Initial D fan, but if you're not a fan you might want to buy something else. I am a fan and I do enjoy it because... It's INITIAL D!
