«©NCSX» Oversteer your vehicle in a conventional race and you'll probably cause an accident and develop a reputation as a cowboy. Oversteer properly in the world of drift racing and you're a potential hero. The ingredients for the perfect drift are simple: winding roads and an able drifter. Throttle into curving roads with wild abandon and twist the vehicle into the corners so that the car is suddenly sideways and churning into the turn with squealing acceleration. When the curve levels out, wheel the car back to temporary forward thrust and prepare for the next curve. Chain those curves and sideways motion together in continuous flow and you're drifting, screeching and burning mass rubber. Oversteer like an amateur however, and you'll just spin out. That's the beauty of the Kaido Battle 2 racing engine where the physics of the car models obey the guidance of capable drifters as twisting mountain roads rush past. After a few sessions, the act of drifting becomes a ballet of physics and control over a hunk of metal and glass on wheels. It's all done very well in Kaido Battle 2 and Genki must be applauded for the top notch quality of the game. Players may drive uphill or downhill on the various mountain passes recreated from the Kaido range where the drifting scene sprouted in the towns of Hakone, Irohazaka, Nagano, and Rokkosan. Four seasons also provide a bit of color and change to the racing backdrops. Jan Code: 4994934400127 View the back cover. This document is ©NCSX 2004. All rights reserved.
