Controls
Best thing Ever, Amazing control system! Takes about 10 to 20 mins to get use to it for the drifting! You will feel you are driving in a real car! Dont worry control is almost like Initial D, but this time you have to use E brake when U do a Hardcord drifting or sliding. Simple Controls but real fun!

Graphics
Another best one ever! Realistic Environment along with the weather. Slope of the road, shadow of trees leafs and your car. Amazing done! To my knowledge, I think this Graphics for the cars are much better than GT3 nor 4. The Nice colors on the cars and shape with every detail you can see on the car.

Sound
Oh my God the sound of the cars are amazing done, when I drive Honda the sound of the Realistic Dhoc V-Tec, and Skyline RB26DET. Great the sound for the cars, If you like cars and know the sound of each different engine you can tell! Best car sound effect ever!. Okie Music in the game are okay, its good you like techno or Remixes of some nice track, Its more like music in Inital D, Move! lol ! But if you dont like the music, you can make your own music, there is a Option in the game aloow you to remixes music or make your own, but so far I having hard time doing that. But once you turn your music off, you can hear the birds, water and nice environment sound effect. Very good and well done setting it up in this game.

Last Message!
If you like to drift, or Initial D, D1 racing, Tongue, Gripping or Autocrossin, or If you like the Racing games. I 100% recommend this game. you wont regret of buying this game! Once this game is on your hand you can play for hours or months. Well buy this game if it released in USA, or make sure you have Jap ps2 or tune up ps2 that allow you to play this game! By the way game is in Jappanese and there are some English in it, but if you know cars those should be no problem for you, other than that you can study it!
