I have the Chinese version. Vendors are selling them for $150-160 cdn for imports and $20 for copied versions yet they still go out of stock in a day.

Sad thing is they left out a lot of the cars on the lists. No M coupe but like three M3s. No Saab, Porsche (only Ruf).

Quick points, sorry a bit disorganized:

The new tracks are amazing. Nurburing was crazy. New e90 is a dream on it.

Lots of used cars but the years are different. Like the 93 SR-V is listed as a 91? Mileage is cool, like the used cars come with 50-70k km and you have to get an oil change after you buy it.

Sounds are 200% better. You can tell a b18 from a b16.

Handling is a lot more realistic with nose dips, g-force factors (actually shows), fuel guages. If you hit someone the screen goes blurry for a bit.

They have a lot of tuner companies but even after I put on an exhaust from HKS I noticed zero visual change. GT Auto now has the option to add huge ricey t-wings to any car, haha. When the guy changes your oil, you see someone go undernear haha.

Arcade mode has 260+ cars, probably more unlockable.

It seems easier a lot easier to earn money.

License tests are cool. For some you have to complete a lap in a certain amount of time, but you get a crappy slow car and there is a pace car Skyline ahead of you.

The gear ratios seem to be off from real cars. I noticed 0-60 times to be off a bit like GT3 but after you fix the ratios things are okay again.

That's it...i'll have some screenshots of modified cars soon.

I recommend you mod your PS2 and buy the import version. It's worth it 100%.

 

Here's a picture taken in "photo mode". My 95' ITR.

 

Few more.

 

Is there any way to change the language of the menus? I have a modded PS2 and the drive to buy it, but can't read JDM.

:love:

 

for the for copied version I would need the flip top right?

 

I'm more than happy to wait for the english version. I talked to some of the guys at gamestop and they think it should ship sometime in Feb, but I just saw an article on www.gamespy.com that said proably sometime in march. we should have it soon, and hopefully the american version will have some extra features the asian game does not.

 

i played the HK version last sunday....CRRRRRAAAAAAAZZZZY!!!!

 

Since when does the American version of anything get extras the asian version does not?

 

we usually don't, I'm just hoping.
