In fairness racing a Hachi-Roku against an Lan EVO in Grid/Forza 2 is indeed better. However, any Western member of the population who isn't initiated and has been playing Grid may find themselves somewhat disappointed. It is based on the Japanese manga Initial D created by Shuichi Shigeno in 1995. I personally like Initial D ES, because I have a) a translator real handy B) I know the story of Initial D real well c) I played the PSP version to death. Initial D Extreme Stage is a racing game developed by Sega for the PlayStation 3. IMHO, Initial D extreme stage is a missed opportunity on the PS3, it's not like the hardware is pushed terribly hard, and there is more they could have done to bring the Initial D experience to the home than this okay-ish port of the arcade. But it is typical repetitive Japanese game. Once the cars are tuned a wee bit and you've recognised that 'X' is the new 'O' and vice-verse, it becomes OK. To be honest, you have to see past the 'Initial D'rive. I would make a purchase if I wasn't so utterly skint.
