One could argue that Shutokou Battle is one of the pioneers of what's known as the УsandboxФ genre of games, and Import Tuner Challenge continues that tradition. The average gamer may not get it, but for fans this is a must-buy. Import Tuner Challenge is a definite buy for the TXR crowd Ц it's got the same unique style and gameplay the series is known for, and now it's even better than before in almost every way. In short, if you like TXR, now you have to actually look hard to find the newest games because Crave is apparently getting beaten to the punch these days, with publishers seeing that there's a huge cult following for this unique racing game. Now the first Xbox 360 game, called Shutokou Battle X in Japan, was picked up by Ubisoft and titled Import Tuner Challenge. Konami last year picked up the PSP game, and dubbed it Street Supremacy, beginning the confusion. But recently other publishers got into the action. Crave Entertainment, the owners of the TXR name, even used the trademark with the Kaido Battle drifting games, to keep the franchise together. Aside from a PlayStation game dubbed Tokyo Highway Battle, every Dreamcast and PS2 game shipped in the US under the name of Tokyo Xtreme Racer, and thus it was easy to know what to look for. Being a fan of the Shutokou Battle franchise is tough these days if you live outside Japan.
