While realism is the crowning achievement in the series, (or perhaps the fact that they can get such a beautiful game to run on lower system specs) not everyone can take that real life driving, just like not everyone can be a race car driver in real life. The new R-cade Extreme mode limits the amount of realism to make the game more accessible and enjoyable for everyone ranging from the beginner all the way to the most seasoned veteran. Sure it has been on consoles in the Project Gotham, Forza Motorsport, and Gran Turismo series, but this is the first time we will on a computer see the Nurburgring Nordschliefe, a 20 km monstrosity designed to challenge even the most hardened driver.Īnd the new track is just the start. The first thing that will be noticed is the addition of a new track, one that has never been in a PC racing game before.
Last year’s excellent Race 07 was the most recent title in the lineup that passed with flying colors.īut now with the newest title, GTR Evolution, SimBin is back and better than ever by expanding the GTR series, and making it more enjoyable than ever. Only with GTR am I able to find an impressive touring car racing simulator that combines excellent racing with a package that can run at a fast speed on my laptop. In contrast, you can earn more money if the police are chasing you for a longer time.While I might not be into PC gaming as much as I used to be, one series I always come back to is the GTR series of racing games. Otherwise, you will get arrested, resulting in spending money on speeding tickets instead of new parts for your JDM. Here you can have fun on your own just driving around enjoying your JDM beauty, or you can go to specific spots on the map where you have certain online race options like time attack, minimum speed, do not crash, avoid traffic, and many others.Īnother fun addition is that you can get chased by the police, and you must drive well to get away from them. The other option, as we said, is to go on the streets, where you have lots of exploring because the city map is impressively extensive. When you hit the tracks, you will feel exactly like in those drift challenges from the first NFS Underground game, creating this beautiful nostalgic feeling. Now, all that is left is to take your car on one of the three tracks available, or you can drive right on the streets of Osaka. Plus, if you ever get bored with your creation, you can always sell it to buy a new car. Kanjozoku is extremely impressive from this standpoint, and they are not many games that let you do as many modifications as this one. As a result, you can create some of the unique and weirdest cars to really express your creativity. The suspension menu is a fun and interesting one because you can change things like the radius of the wheels, front/rear camber, height, or spacers. Moving on to the engine tuning, you have two possibilities: upgrading it with things like a new turbocharger, engine block/head, and fuel system, or replacing the whole power unit with more powerful ones. For example, when you enter the body category, you can change the paint job, front/rear bumper, hood, side skirts, headlights, exhaust types, and even neon lights under the car. In the tuning menu, you are free to modify as much as you want, from body parts to engines, wheels, or suspension. However, this is not the point because Kanjozoku is more of an arcade game. From a visual standpoint, the vehicles look alright even though they are not made in the most realistic way, like in a Forza game.
The cheapest car is a Honda Civic EF, while the most expensive one is the legendary Nissan Skyline GTR34 (as in GT-R R34). For example, you can have the classic Integra DC2 or the AWD one. In the car selection menu, we have a total of 19 options to use, with different options for the same car. In the top left corner, you are able to see your name and the car's name, while on the bottom corner, you have things like cars shop, tuning, paint shop, or settings. When you open Kanjozoku, you have a straightforward menu, where in the middle, you can see the car that you selected together with your character of choice. In addition, this game has online races and online car meets and hotspots, but more on that later. Kanjozoku reminds me a lot of Need For Speed Underground, having a bunch of 90s and 2000s JDM cars that you can tune however you want, then use them on the Osaka streets.
