Initial D
Perhaps you prefer your racing games to be much more intense and story-driven? If that’s the case, then this may be more up your alley (as far as we can tell however, you cannot eat Initial D). The series of driving titles has delighted fans of the manga for years with its bizarre yet intoxicating faithfulness to the source material. Each race pits you against a suitably stern-faced opponent, all to the tune of a Europop soundtrack so catchy, you’ll be boogieing in your seat.
Once again, those dastards over at Sony have been hogging the glory, with titles appearing on the PS2, PS3 and PSP. Notice something there? It has been a decade since we’ve seen a console entry, and it’s ripe for the picking. Arcade will always be king for this series (people seem to really enjoy pretending they’re actually driving, often spending sums of money so large, they could have just bought a real car), but there is an untapped market here, many of whom are still running in the 90s. If that track doesn’t get you pumped, nothing will.
