A must buy for a close to modern initial d experience
I love this series with all my heart as simple as that. We probably will never get another installment as a game even through MF Ghost. This game aged very well graphically and is probably a tier 1/2 ps3 game just based on graphics. This game is an arcade game don't buy it expecting realistic driving mechanics or grand turismo circuit like behavior this game is closely related to the Japanese arcade games held in machines at Japanese arcade game establishments. The best way to enjoy it is turn off your brain, relax and enjoy that eurobeat and slippery drifting action. This game is a perfect comfort game to play. Thank you for reading.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Newest Home Initial D Title
This doesn't really measure up to the newest versions of the Initial-D arcade games, but it's as close as you can get for the time being and it's still pretty fun in it's own right. All the animation is stiff and goofy, and there aren't even local multiplayer options, but the upside of the game being so basic is that you won't have to spend much time learning the menus through trial and error if you don't know Japanese. I have a particular affinity for this style of goofy drift(?) racing(?) game, but I'd definitely make sure you've familiarized yourself with the game-play through online videos before diving in, if your only exposure to Initial-D is through the Anime.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Simple but addictive
The game has that simple racing genre feel from the looks of it, but where it really shines in is mastering the control of your car and the course you drive on.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
