I assume this will be a budget title?

It really does look terrible, no matter how small Genki are.

Oh god haven't we had enough of the bloody "import tuner market" now....I mean even underground 2 was 1 bloody step too bloody far....

Ubi need to look at all the other titles (a.k.a just look at the games you can buy for 2 pounds) that tried to get in on the tuner action and realise what they are letting themselves in for...

Don't get me wrong, i'm all for tuning cars, etc etc but its about time they start making GOOD car games with tuning in it RATHER than making car games with tuning in it...and not much else...

Ubisoft = just go look at Forza....thats how you do it.....you can change the race tracks to urban settings if you will....but just LOOK...

Wow that turned into quite the little rant...sorry about that...

Actually im very happy they bring this title on PAL system.
the Tokyo Xtreme Racer (now called Import Tuner Challenge) is much older then the NFS Underground thing. Anyway im not a fan of NFSU or NFSMW.
But i had a lot of fun with Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2 on Sega Dreamcast.

btw the new name suxx (ITC). The japanese title is "Shutokou Battle X".
can't wait to try if the gameplay is still that good as the older series :P
