Is Tokyo Xtreme Racer - Drift still worth playing in 2026?
A drift spin on Genki's series, Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift transposes the urban highway duels to mountain roads, where you chain controlled slides to rack up points against rival drivers. The mastery of weight transfer, the car tuning and the nocturnal touge mood appeal to fans of Japanese driving. The modest production and a niche concept limit the mainstream appeal. A good racing game for fans of drift, tuning and Japanese car culture.
