Is Racing Battle - C1 Grand Prix still worth playing in 2026?

A racing game from Genki, Racing Battle - C1 Grand Prix stages nocturnal urban races on the highways of Tokyo's loop, in the tradition of wangan games, where you customise your car and challenge rivals at very high speed in fierce duels under the city's neon. The atmosphere of Japanese highway racing, the advanced customisation and the sensation of speed appeal to fans of street racing. The dated production and a niche formula bound the appeal. For a fan of Japanese urban racing or someone curious about the wangan culture, the title keeps a preserved atmosphere and intensity, in a dated edition.
