New complaint makes it to the comment section of NBC! A new complaint from February 1 made it to the NBC comments. This complaint from a previously unknown user concerned an issue that recently reared it's ugly head in the NBC writing. For the next week or so, you could read this complaint on an article that was on the website. Want to know what the actual complaint was? Just read on a few paragraphs, and maybe we will tell you!

Always remember that Tokyo Xtreme Racer did this level of customization years before the first NFS Underground, let alone Underground 2 (which came out a half-decade after TXR)

Tokyo Xtreme Racer and Need For Speed are two different styles of racing. One is done in a way that is unique to Japan, especially from the 80's to the 90's.

The other is just the fast and the furious but with more flash.

While the two are unique and may have "some" similarities, to say Tokyo Xtreme Racer has the spirit of Need For Speed, in a way, removes it's own unique style. Especially when you take into account the list of games that are in both series....they are vastly different.

This....is not a good title. Personal opinion, Tokyo Xtreme Racer is better. It's strictly about racing on the Wangan (Like how the actual Midnight Club did).
While Need For Speed Underground 2 is a bombastic racing game that is more like going to a 2000's rave.

I know the title is an attention grab. But don't sell TXR short with a NFS comparison. Every TXR game was fantastic, the same can't be said about NFS.

Look up a video called
Took you extreme racer 2025 the evolution of Genki Racing Games.

It goes way further back and you shouldn't compare it to need for speed.
