Might get boring after a while...

TXR3 is a very good game. In fact, it introduced me to the series (even though this isn't the first). But it could've been better. When you first get into it, you feel like you'll never go away from it. I mean really, you could horn, put turn signals and emergency signals. After you get through about 70% through it, you get tired of it. Yes, I know, it's got Japanese licenced cars and everything, and the tuning options are good, well, sorta...but trust me, you could get tired of it. You decide, but trust me, it'll get boring after a while IMO...

Ok...lets go with all the game attributes:
Gameplay: 6/10
Some people might disagree (maybe alot...) but after a while it's value gets lost. You play as this street racer who comes back on the roads (this is after TXR0) and then a legendary racer comes back. You gotta beat him/her again. If you tune just right you could pull off a monster racer. However finding some "wanderers" could be annoying. All you do is drive around the highways, looking for opponents to race. Money is earned when you win (and lose) as well.

Graphics:7/10
Now the graphics are OK. They did good with the car designs and the highways. Thunder, snow and rain graphics were good enough.

Sound:8/10
This was the best thing about this game: the sound. Car revs are perfect. The sound track is spectacular! HOORAY!

Value::5/10
It loses it after a while. TXR3 is the type where they save the best first. But value is still great.

Overall:6.5
I know alot of people are probably arguing at me now, but remember, this is my opinion. Well, that's the end...

    I decided to check out some of Genki's other games, after playing TXRD2 for uncountable amount of hours. This game feels kind of like a downgrade if you are playing with a steering wheel, since there is no 900 degree st... Read Full Review
