Fast & Furious ps2 the truest jdm race game (besides GT).....no joke!

[Lancer EVO IX]

fast & furious is always associated w/ RICE.....no doubt about it.Â* i absolutely HATE the whole damn franchise.Â* however, it has spawned one good thing from it (not altezza tails, naaaaaws, underglow neon kits, gay ass paint jobs and vinyls, basically anything rice) this game.Â*

it includes over 300 real JDM aero kits, and 80 real rims.Â* anybody who knows me knows that i am pro JDM and the most anti rice guy there is.Â* without a doubt this could be the BEST non simulation racing game that has all the customization features that any JDM whore would appreciate.Â* the game also includes real JDM shop cars from Top Secret, CWest, Ralliart, etc.Â*

Nice find roy, i wonder if they're gonna make one for the ps3 :-P

[Lancer EVO IX]

damn i really wish they would. but i doubt it. unless there's a sequel to this game in the future.

[MyGlue]

I hope it will be compatable with the logitech 900degree wheel...

it should be.

[silvery_eagle]

nice find.. and i saw that it's out already... hmm tempting to get one

[Lancer EVO IX]

yup it's out in stores today. imma go pick it up after work and eventually get the jdm IX today (in the game at least...lol)!!

[JOOTZ]

online duel on this???

















!!!

[Lancer EVO IX]

pretty dope game so far. my jdm ebp IX is fuckin hot! too bad they don't have my volk gt-u's (they have several rims that are very similar though, work vs-xx is one off the top of my head).

they also have the ralliart evo IX w/ the ralliart cf lip!!! i painted it ebp so i could see what my car would look like w/ the ralliart cf lip, and i must say i gotta buy that damn thing soon. but i couldn't get rid of the ralliart vinyl on the side of the car. it was bugging the shit outta me. so far this game is pretty fun. pretty similar to the need for speed series as far as game play, but modding the exterior is so much more addicting due to the real jdm aero kits. O0 from me.

as far as aero kits are concerned for the evo they have damd, cwest, ings +1 (my dream kit), and gramlights.

here's pix of the ralliart evo IX i'm talking about.

The craziest part is all the real SoCal people in the game, esp if you are in the hardcore drift scene.

5 minutes into playing the game, I got my butt kicked by the guy I bought my c/f hood from in real life, and a little while later I won my friend Lance's pink AE86.

I even bought my Weds Kranze Cerberus wheels from Bespoke VIP, just like I did in real life. its crazy.

Apparently one of the head developers in the game owns a 2004 Evo RS, and you can race him at Toshi's hotspot.

This game sounds good. I'll probably pick it up tonight or tomorrow.

agreed 100%. i wish they got some of the rims more true to life. for example gold volk sf-challenge's are gold w/ polished lip, not ALL gold. little things like that.
i already smoked the shit outta that white evo VIII....hahha.

how does jdm = rice?

[silvery_eagle]

how was the racing / driving physics?

[MR Dan]

guess i'll pick up this game....any better than GT4? :roll: :laugh:

[Lancer EVO IX]

kinda arcadey. it's definately not a sim like GT, but the physics are similar to the need for speed series. it's very addicting modding ur car visually because of the vast array of aero kits available.

so far the evo's available are the evo VII, evo VIII rs, gsr, mr (usdm, and jdm!), evo IX rs, gsr, mr, ralliart evo IX, evo X concept. there are different aero kits available for the VII-IX. pretty damn addicting game when it comes to modding.

come on dan! u know nuthings better than gt4!! but as far as arcadey type games this game is without a doubt one my favorites for sure.

[R3dline]

lol no. The gameplay is ok. Looks and feels like another Need for Speed Underground. Too many load screens that will drive you nuts. I hate going back and forth to change my car because I have it equiped for a certain motorsport then you deal with more load screens.

I always have the game crash while bringing up the vinyl screen, at least I finally found a way around it...

u must have some type of a bug on ur particular cd. i don't have any problems when i go to the vinyl screen. u might wanna exchange it for a different copy.

[Dmoney]

Do they have the HKS Kansai body Kit?

[R3dline]

my s14 is worth 59.5K for trade in 8)

[Lancer EVO IX]

Do they have the HKS Kansai body Kit?


yes they do! not only that but they have the hks kansai bumper but also the cf side spats and jdm VIII rear. this is an evo lovers dream imo. i made the white hks kansai evo VIII yesterday w/ the gold advan rgII's. u could literally make any and every jdm time attack evo u want (cyber evo, original runduce).

hks kansai aero kit for reference. :-P
