Driving Emotion Type-S is a racing game developed by Escape and published by Square, released in Japan on March 30, 2000, and later in North America and Europe in January 2001 for the PlayStation 2. The game features officially licensed cars from international manufacturers, including BMW, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Porsche, and Ferrari, among others. It includes 43 cars and 14 tracks, some of which are real-world circuits like Suzuka and Tsukuba.
The gameplay focuses on realistic driving mechanics, with an emphasis on handling, acceleration, and braking. Players can compete in various modes such as Arcade Type-S, Line Training, Time Attack, and a two-player Vs Mode. The game also allows for car customization, including performance upgrades and visual enhancements.
Although the game received mixed reviews, with criticisms of its handling and physics in the Japanese version, the international releases were revised to address these issues. Despite this, the game was praised for its detailed graphics and immersive driving experience, particularly its realistic dashboards and reflective windshields.
Driving Emotion Type-S did not achieve high sales, but it has garnered a cult following among racing game enthusiasts for its attention to detail in driving physics and vehicle customization. While it did not receive any major awards, it remains a notable title in the early PS2 era for its technical showcase and realistic racing simulation.
The game's current popularity is largely nostalgic, with some players appreciating its unique physics and challenging gameplay. It is not a highly demanded title but holds historical significance as one of the first racing games on the PlayStation 2, showcasing the console's capabilities at the time of its release.
