Tokyo Highway Battle is an action-packed adventure game released on the PlayStation console in 1997. The story revolves around a group of rival drifters who are competing in a series of street racing events across Tokyo's highways and roads.
The gameplay involves choosing from a variety of cars and upgrades, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Players can select from 60 different parts and upgrades to customize their vehicle, and then compete against the computer or other CPU opponents on one of several tracks inspired by real-life Tokyo streets. The game features a "Drift" button that allows players to take sharp turns at high speeds, earning points and rewards along the way.
Developed with input from racing champion Keiichi Tsuchiya and automotive expert Masaaki Bando, Tokyo Highway Battle is known for its authentic handling and physics simulation, providing an immersive and challenging driving experience.
