Unless you happen to like playing a half-assed Initial D parody with no real storyline (or I probably missed it laughing at all the wrong things in this game), no real cars (licensing = $$$), and horribly synthesized techno music, I would recommend staying far away from this game.
The OP for the BLAZE (including its CRAP graphics) did make me laugh to the point of falling, but I sure as hell didn't laugh when they showed the R34's interior. Even for a low-budget production, they could still do good interiors. And I agree that some of the music made me MUTE my video player. My wish for a good racing VN will have to wait, but I'll give MDN2 a try (downloading trial and *static* right now)
One more thing: Check out the car models for MDN2
HERE. I'm sure the ONLY way they've been dodging licensing fees is by being low key. The models are very accurate. There's ALWAYS more than one way to skin a cat.
