The monumental racing comic ``Initial D,'' which has gained overwhelming support from passionate young people who aspire to be the fastest, has been turned into a complete game. The player takes on the role of Takumi Fujiwara, the main character, and drives the Hachiroku into battles, aiming to be the fastest on public roads just like in the original.
Of course, the setting is an actual mountain pass. There are 11 courses in total, including Akina and Usui, which are familiar to fans. The realism achieved through thorough on-site research has been realized with beautiful images on PlayStation 2, allowing you to experience the hot mountain pass attack at home. In ``Story Mode,'' which takes full advantage of the charm of the original work, the story progresses by clearing missions in each stage while interweaving scenes from the original work. The fact that all the voice actors from the anime version are used in the original scenes is also a must-see for fans.
Also includes the "Public Road Fastest Legend Mode" from the arcade version of "Initial D Arcade Stage." If you choose your favorite car from among 31 types and win a one-on-one battle with rival racers, you will earn points. By saving this money, you can tune your car with parts from real manufacturers.
Other fun elements include the fast-paced Eurobeat BGM of ``move,'' which is very popular in the anime version of ``Initial D.'' In addition, if you use the optional external dedicated controller ``GT FORCE Initial D Version'', the steering feel will be in full ``Takumi'' mode. (Eguchi Nabe)
