Initial D World - Discussion Board / Forums > Initial D Extreme Stage > My Review Of Initial D Extreme Stage


Posted by: TB_InuYasha_X Jul 27 2008, 12:10 AM
What my thoughts are about the game: Well, the game is really impressive. The online play is very clean and they have 6 person lobby's. I know you are asking to yourself, how do you understand the japanese words? Well, it wasn't that hard; I just did a little button mashing and looking around and I pretty much figured out what menu is what.

The game works on a point system where you build up points to buy parts for your cars. Rims, Body Kits and Performance Parts are all available to you. Each part uses a different variation of mix-ups and helps you out during certain situations. The game is very well balanced and can be very much enjoyable.

For anyone else who has this game with the online package, please be sure to hit me up on the playstation 3. My name is TB_InuYAsha X and on Initial D my main id is TBYASHA.

The game takes skill, keep that in mind. Braking & Throttle Control + Counter Steering is required. I know a-lot of you, even myself... Have looked into the game and we have all believed it was just turning and not much skill. But, when you get a hands on experience... There is a-lot more to it and it i pretty much an entire new type of game when it comes to the Initial D arcade games. As far as fun comes, I give this game a 10/10.... I love it.. and I've never been so happy with any game in 2008...

Also, you can have up to 3 cars on one profile.. and you can make as many as you want..

I battle you this mornin / afternoon with my green cappo. Why did you give me a headstart?

Posted by: rockman227 Jul 27 2008, 05:26 AM
yeah a big lag the same happend to me sometimes,inuyasha from were are you playing to see why it lagged and another thing and advice that i wanted to post in your previous post don´t give headstarts it makes most people feel humilataed because you are saying that you are too good that you can catch anyone anywere,and if they block to you try to trick them by going into another line

Yeah, some guy in a ae86 who was SS did that to me last night.. gave me 500 ft and y'know what I said to myself... *Hm.. if only I knew what to do..* But I wanted to see if that would work on this game.. and it did.. he caught up and I pulled a Seiji.

Seiji: Nande, HACHI-ROKU CAUGHT UP TO MY EVO 4?! Boost on.. darn you! lol...

I didn't give up though.. he passed me through the mid section, but i continued to pursue and I passed him right back... sadly.. he got me no the last two corners of Tsukuba.. it was a good battle.. but I think he was confident that I was just a C2.. that's alright though, I thought I was going to be destroyed.. ;P

Edit 1: I'm going to go ahead and make a japanese account so I can get the DLC cars.. and if I make rooms.. I'll name it TB InuYasha X or TribalBoyz.. no password, so if any of you want to come in and race.. feel free. happy.gif

Posted by: jin509 Jul 27 2008, 12:11 PM

The point is to show people the game and some of the people you can battle.

I don't know about you, but I know a-lot of people from other gaming communities who have never touched a I.D. game and they would like to see just what all the hype is about and what I want to do, is give them a good reason to buy the game..

That make sense?

So far.. I convinced 13 people.. maybe more.. to buy the game and a ps3.. lol

Posted by: Tessou Jul 27 2008, 06:27 PM
The odd physics system coupled with the all-Japanese setup surely isn't a good platform to sell a PS3 on. Am I right, guys? You'd think it would take more to sell a $400+ system.

I only bought my massive setup because I was familiar with the game.

This game alone.. made me get the 80GB ps3....... It's only because.. my favorite anime.. + online + I'm addicted.. + YAY!!

And that's what happened. laugh.gif

Videos belong in the IDES Videos thread, which I pinned a few days ago... I'll get to work moving them...

Moved them. All of your videos are now in the appropriate thread. Since you posted the brunt of them before I pinned the video thread, I'll chalk it up to you just not knowing about it. Next time anybody posts videos outside of the pinned thread, it's an instant actual warning, as per the universal forum guidelines. happy.gif

Thanks for the review dude,

Posted by: RonMcDougall Aug 3 2008, 09:02 PM
idk about this game you say its good but seen it for my self over game play make want to cry. i been playing GRID fun game i think the people of GRID, Codemastrs should have a hand in to makeing ID for the PS3 that just me bcz there raceing game so far been sweet. I love ID as much as any person here but idk if the ID for PS3 is that great to get a 10/10 for a PS3 game it should look a lot more better the only good thing is like the Trailer. I think over all i whould give it like a 8.5 or even a 7. again i have not plad this game but seen it from playing ID3 to this new ID idk more work chould have gone in to this game a lot more like looks for one with game now adays looking really bad ass and game physics like when you hit a wall you just keep going not really losing speed idk. i still think that saga should have had codemasters make the game.

Posted by: Silfa Aug 4 2008, 03:54 AM
first off codemasters games are complete crap. initial d has never been a sim racing game, nor will it ever be. thats like saying, oh I wished that Polyphony Digital should of made Grid or Need For Speed Series. so what, the physics engine was changed. just learn to adapt how the rest of us have and you shouldn't have.

Posted by: RonMcDougall Aug 4 2008, 09:23 AM
hahaha just saying that games now a days look better and play better and that Initial D should be on top of that

To be honest.

I prefer this game over.

Forza 2, GT5:P, Grid, NFS Series, LFS.

=/

Those games have become boring to me.

Mainly Fora 2.. lol

Posted by: Silfa Aug 4 2008, 10:16 AM
well IDAS5 is already being play tested in japan. As for IDES can't expect it to look like gt5.

Posted by: Yoshida Seiji Aug 4 2008, 01:33 PM
Inu Yasha, you still can't Wangan. laugh.gif

But honestly now. I don't understand why people keep trying to hold Initial D to the standards of GT5, graphically. It's a game based on an anime/manga. It's not supposed to be realistic.

ya idk just playing this game other game like GRID and GT5 there cars look sweet and the GRID drift play is sweet i think i just want ID to kick up to the next level you know

Posted by: Silfa Aug 5 2008, 03:33 AM
it will never will, and if you think Grid had good drifting then you should stick to arcade racing games like Grid or NFS. try drifting in GT5P with a wheel lol

Posted by: TB_InuYasha_X Aug 5 2008, 07:26 AM
I thought Grid was ok... but if you want a drifting game, pretty much.

Get a wheel for GT5:P

or.... play LFS.. or whatever else simulation games are on the computer.. but I think Initial D defeats the majority of these games for one simple reason.


Joker, "Why So Serious?"

Initial D brings out the fun in competition and not the boringness of 2008.

tru about the GT5 drift and the other stuff about it but for ID being a PS3 game it should look a lot better i mean come on its on the PS3 it need be bad a$$ looking tongue.gif

Posted by: Tessou Aug 5 2008, 06:14 PM
Not all games need to push the boundaries of a system to be fun. Remember, IDES is an expanded port of IDAS4, an arcade game. How many arcade game ports got buffed graphics when they were put on a console?

If you're that anal about graphics, go back to GT5. Simple.

I'm not mad, and you did say that the game should look better because it's a PS3 game. No need to flip your story to make me look evil.
