There is a once-great series called Tokyo Xtreme Racer. Dreamcast owners loved it; if every other racer on the planet hadn’t aped and improved it, we’d recommend eBaying a system for that alone. Problem is, every TXR since has been a pallid photocopy of the series' 2000 height, Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2. Now, though no one asked for a portable version, we’re saddled with Street Supremacy, which is definitely not among the best games for the PSP.
