Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero, released in 2001 for the PlayStation 2, is a racing game developed by Genki. Known as Tokyo Xtreme Racer in PAL territories and Shutokou Battle 0 in Japan, the game is part of the Tokyo Xtreme Racer series. It is set between Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2 and Drift, and features enhanced sound and graphics compared to its predecessors.
The game does not follow traditional racing rules; instead, it uses a Spirit Points (SP) system, where players engage in one-on-one battles with rivals. The SP bar decreases when a player hits obstacles or is behind their opponent, and the battle is won by depleting the opponent's SP bar. Players can earn in-game currency (CP) by battling rivals, which can be used to purchase cars and parts. The game includes 165 unlicensed cars and allows for extensive customization with over 125 parts, new paint jobs, and stickers.
Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero received generally favorable reviews, with a Metacritic score of 76/100. Critics praised its unique gameplay mechanics, with scores ranging from 7.6/10 by GameSpot to 8.3/10 by IGN. The game is notable for its arcade-like racing experience and its deep dive into Japan's underground street racing culture.
Despite being released nearly two decades ago, Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero remains a cult classic, especially among fans of the series. Its historical significance lies in its contribution to the street racing genre and its influence on subsequent games in the series. The game's popularity has endured, with many fans appreciating its retro feel and unique gameplay mechanics.
