I wonder why they changed the title.... was it to make it more appealing to the Pimp My Ride generation?

ubisoft... please stick to action, stealth or middle eastern themed hero games. This "pimp my ride" game isn't cutting it. Pass it on to EA.

That is the worst name ever.

Everyone already knows the Tokyo Extreme Racing series, no point in changing the name.

Whatever YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ITS FINALLY COMING TO THE US FOR SURE

Im a bit confuse with the name, Shutokou Battle X/Tokyo Extreme Racing/Import Tuner Challenge, whatever. Anyway, I find the fact that Ubisoft pick a lot of japanese games an bring them to America(Over G Fighters, Enchanted Arms and this)very cool, hopefully the'll pick up games like Spectral Force 3 and Rebirth Moon.

The TXR nvr looked jaw dropping good, so iono why ppl complaining about the graphics. Genkai doesn't have the money to bust out with some GT4 or Forza 2 looking games, so you can get over that. TXR has always been fun game to play and aslways afforadable. So I can't wait to pick this up this Fall. Also my guess for the name change is that in america they have a car mod magazine called "Import Tuner" its pretty well known here with the import car fans. So by giving this name it will have a greater appeall and maybe ppl will think its associated with the mag. And to be honest even doh I love this series, most ppl don't know junk about TXR. So they wouldn't that import tuner is really TXR. Its just like street supremecy that they released to the psp. They changed the name when it came over from TXR to that, and most ppl didnt think anything about it. Now that game was junk, but you get my drift. In the end ppl wont care bout the name, and both ppl in america and europe that been waiting for this will get this game regardless

Why the hell did they change the name...
Commented on 2006-08-01 19:42:59
LEBATO, yes and it sure is... you forgot the 360 so i´ll help you.. 360 , perhaps you forgot the numlock?
Commented on 2006-08-01 20:04:22
This is such a royally bad idea.
Commented on 2006-08-01 21:15:52
Don't like the name change very much. "Import Tuner Challenge" just sounds so generic. The game looks pretty nice in these new videos though. Have they said what the online play is going to be like?
Commented on 2006-08-01 21:31:15
If it isnt gonna be messed with by ubisoft, it should be like what tokyo extreme racer was. Try to stay in front of your opponent, and his health bar will diminish, if you fall behind, your health bar will fall too. The winner is the racer that stays in the front the longest.
