Is Option - Tuning Car Battle 2 still worth playing in 2026?
A Japanese tuning racer licensed from Option magazine, this series places the player in the world of Japanese tuning culture, preparing and racing souped up cars on urban roads and highways. The deep mechanical customisation, the nocturnal street racing mood and the realism of the models appeal to tuning enthusiasts. The dated 3D, the Japanese interface and a niche gameplay limit access. A curiosity for fans of retro tuning racing and Japanese car culture.
