Initial D: Ver3

I was just wondering, does anyone have any thoughts on version 3 of Initial D?? I've played it and I think its pretty good. The handling of the cars is as real as it gets. But I think its pretty hard as well; being a novice player and all.

I'm stuck driving Bunta's Subaru WRX STI Type-R and my first upgrade was a crappy tune-up of the exhaust for a massive 10000points which did jack-all.

WEll i'm playin Ver 3 now and i thinks its pretty fun..akina snow is GREAT....i'm a driving a Mazda RX-7 FC3S ....the handels are great....i'm an adcanced driver.....in da game....

well the tune ups in the game don't really help...well they do but not...that much...it all depends on your skills.....how u corner...and everyhting.....i recomend u finish the legends of street......so dat was yo card looks good=P.....and it will help u when facing your friends...have fun

Uh does anybody know the shift points to the rx-7 fd3s?!

6.0 6.5 7.0 7.2 and you shouldn't beat the game you should do time trial you get 4000 points no matter what and it makes you look like a newb.... when your not..

i had a S15 and a ER34 nut i lost my wallet and both my cards were in there both had about $50 total on em im pissed... i like Ver. 3.. well its the only one i have ever played... i forget with track it is but the one with the lan-evo's i like that track the most.. u turn after u turn its soo much fun

hard for beginers? may i please be called the exeption? I accidentally went to nissan instead of toyota, so i decided to get myself a skyline. i got a Skyline 25gt turbo. it's a 5 speed that tops out at 200+ km/h i've completed the myogi races, with really good times. i never let my foot off the gas. the only time i did was on that U-turn that goes either up or down depending on which way you go. (i think up for counterclockwise) anyways, i lift up a tiny bit and just throw the wheel. of course, i use a manual. man it's fun. I almost lose to the red civic you race in the story mode thing. almost meaning he got about 90m ahead before i found out that it's slow around corners. took advantage of it and hugged the corners as close as i could. after i did that i shaved 3 seconds off my lap time. i'm undefeated! ( i've done about umm 8 races so far, 3 including a friend i raced) i have new wheels and a new muffler. my friend said she's really good, but even if she uses the r34 i can beat her. i guess i just have a natural ability

is this the arcade game you guys are talking about? i'm trying to find downloadable versions of iD games, and well i'm still lookin. any info would be great

i dunno where you would find a download for the game, but why would you want to? it's no fun if you don't play the actual arcade machine

cuz i'm not rich or lucky enough to get a hold of the arcade version. theres one at the go kart/ putt putt place down here, but that mofo took my money...twice

The Only Initial D i know u can d/l was the crappy pc game and i've played it dont go near it. The arcade that is a hour away from me has Ver 2 but not 3 can't wait till they bring them to ps2. I know ver 2 is out on ps2 in japan isn't it called special stage. I fig with the growing popularity of initail d/drifting here in the states it would be her by now. O well i'm getting a ps2 that can play imports etc. so i'm probably going to get it ne way.

My friend(if i'm lucky) is giving me his old playstation 2 with Swap Magic on it. he said it won't read disks anymore (tehehehe, 5 minute fix) and he's giving me Initial D Ver 2. i think for 30 bucks all together. man, i can't wait till i go to the arcade again!!! i wanna take on people with my 25 gt turbo on the akina downhill! i've gotten soooo good at that!

i finally got a chance to play this game like a few weeks ago. i wanted to know where can i get one of those iD cards so i can save my points and etc. also where the hell can i buy the arcade? lol

What platform is this for? And whats the name of it? Where can I buy it?

I've never heard of this one :-/

the card is bought with the machine. it'll ask if you want to purchase a card or not. it saves all your data when you quit playing.

where exactly can you buy the arcade? i've been lookin on ebay and found nuthing so far, same goes for searching on yahoo.

You're all forgetting "Initial D: Another Stage" for the GBA which is available at many emulation sites if you look hard enough. It's like a racing RPG. Addicting if you can learn japanese.

There is also the "Initial D" game for the old PS1, that is like a simpler version of the arcade game. I have it, and it's quite fun to play. You'll require a mod chip to play it, as it's a Japan-only game. It can be found at various import stores.

The "Initial D: Mountain Vengeance" PC game is a joke. Many buyers have referred to the gameplay as "driving in the dark with sunglasses", and the steering is atrocious. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

You can buy the machine direct from SegaRosso/HITMAKER if you've got the $13,000 for the dual unit plus shipping. Talk to your local arcade so you can get the contact information.

For the money, the best Initial D game you can get is "Initial D: Special Stage" for PS2. It's a port of Arcade Stage ver.2 with a few extras thrown in, and is pretty well done. You'll need to brush up on your japanese and buy a mod chip to play it, as it's another japan-only title.

Hope this helped. :)

Damn, only 13K, for the dual unit? I'll get 2...
