How it feels

A no-frills arcade racer that feels like a steady climb of timed laps and rival showdowns as you grind upgrades to outpace the competition.

About

Shutokō Battle R is the third installment in the Shutokō Battle series for the PlayStation. This time, however, the action is not limited to Tokyo - it has spread to the Osaka metropolitan area. There are three game modes to choose from: Scenario: Try to beat the clock as well as your competitors to the finish line. The points you earn can be used to upgrade your car in the machine shop. Practice: You can practice driving before you try it on the real thing. Link Race: Connect another PlayStation and play against another player. The more opponents you defeat, the quicker you will be able to meet the challenge of professional driver and street legend Keiichi Tsuchiya.
