Import Tuner Challenge review

Meet the New Tokyo, same as the Old Tokyo

Every few wins a mysterious and absurdly named stranger will roll up and challenge you; beat him and you'll unlock a few stickers and an unmodifiable custom car if you're lucky. Pull into parking areas for pointless non-tips and needless back-story on your silhouetted, personality-free competition; take on a few at a time in distance trials or SP runs. After dozens of races that vacillate from ridiculously easy to punishing difficulty, offering nothing in-between, maybe you'll unlock another stretch of Tokyo highway... that's virtually indistinguishable from the asphalt purgatory you've already run to death. The complete lack of any damage modeling doesn't help matters any.
