Wangan Midnight PS3 Gameplay 1

Wangan Midnight, a street racing game based on the manga of the same name. It uses the same voice actors as that of the anime. Quick Fact: Tatsuya Shima, the "Black Bird" is the same voice as Takumi Fujiwara of Initial D fame. No, the Black Bird is not the protagonist of the manga, but rather Akio Asakura, a High School student who is crazy about cars. He finds this...Datsun 280z which turns out to be the Devil Z, a crazy fast car which was tuned by the infamous mechanic, Jun Kitami. Everyone basically goes crazy after the legendary vehicle...which I'm not sure why. Seeing it...and racing it seems almost as additive as crack. I don't know. The manga/anime was a bit philosophical, more so than Initial D.

There is already a Wangan Midnight game made by Namco which is in the Arcades. That game is pretty fun and in the same vein as Initial D. Unfortunately, there is no home version of that game, even in Japan. *sigh*

Note: I REALLY suck at this game. I originally had the PSP version of this game, but that one was way worse than this due to the fact that ALL cars practically turned like a tank. This one, the handling is improved.

*I'm really surprised that you guys on YouTube actually like Wangan Midnight more than Initial D. I thought Initial D was more well known. This Wangan video alone has more views than all my Initial D videos combined.

@laban930

This isn't a downloadable game. This is a full Japanese retail release that you have to import to get.

is it easy to control?

[AgentBLT]

@gura

Define easy to control. Are you talking about the handling of the cars themselves, is the control tight, etc.

[gura]

@AgentBLT i mean the handling of the cars. does it look like nfs?

[AgentBLT]

@gura

I'd say that the cars handle much less than those in NFS.
