Powered by Naomi 2 in the coin-op, Sega chooses the PS2
to represent the home conversion of Inital D: Special
Stage. Choose any one of the anime rocket racers as your
protagonist and compete against rivals on four different
mountain courses ranging from the beginner Myogi level
to the expert Happogaharai night level. New tracks in
Special Stage include Enna, Momiji Pass, Mount Myogi,
Mount Usui and Shoumaru pass. All courses may be played
in standard or reverse direction, during the day or
night, and under wet or dry conditions. Vehicles from
Japanese manufacturers such as Toyota, Nissan, Honda,
Mitsubishi, Mazda and Subaru may be chosen as your
mountain hugging ride.
Initial D manga purists should be pleased with the Story Mode in Initial D
which follows plot highlights and key races from the
original storyline. Adopt the persona of Takumi Fujiwara
and start the game with a Toyota AE86 GT Apex.
Successful completion of chapters in the story mode
unlocks car data and new songs for a total of 30 music
tracks. The game engine in Initial D supports drifting,
sort of, but we enjoy Initial D for it's overall merits,
namely the excellent control, great coin-op to home
conversion quality, and faithful Story Mode. Of course,
the new lower price for the Best Version is also nice.
