Another game dealing with illegal night races. We play the role of a young master steering wheel and set out on the streets of the title metropolis. Noteworthy is a wide range of fun modes, including career.

Tokyo Xtreme Racer: Zero is another part of the famous series of racers who enjoy the greatest popularity in the Land of the Cherry Blossom. The Tokyo Xtreme Racer saga began with titles released on the Dreamcast console. Over time, however, this series has been converted to several other hardware platforms. This is the first version that was decided to be released on PS2.

This racer focuses the player's attention on illegal night races using heavily tuned car models. Producers of the Zero edition have prepared five basic modes of play. The most interesting is, of course, the career, which in the case of this game is called Quest Mode. We play the role of a young master of steering and set out on the streets of the title city in search of new challenges. Much of the fun focuses on duels with other high speed fans. These clashes were shown in a rather unusual way. When the duel starts, the characteristic energy bars appear above the cars of both drivers. The one who is the first to lose all his energy loses the race. It's important to keep driving, but you can also try to tare your opponent's car. The driving model is a tribute to the arcade, although the game can be quite demanding in some places.

As a reward for subsequent wins, you will receive cash for which you can buy new parts or cars. In the latter case, you can choose between more than 120 car models. Despite the lack of official licenses, it is possible to easily recognize carts of famous brands such as Acura, Toyota, or Honda. Tuning includes mainly visual improvements - nicer rims or new spoilers. In addition to your career, you can play a quick race, drive around the city as you like or start a duel with a live player. Tokyo Xtreme Racer: Zero presents a similar level to the second part of the Midnight Club series. It is worth noting that all races are held at night.
