JDM Tuner Racing

⠀

Dont take it even it will be free! Archiments are fake. No settings and poor experience!

This game is awesome there is a lot of negative reviews but the game is great.

Dont buy. I dont know why i bought this a while ago. This game should be free, its like a simple mobile game.

Basically Drag Racer V3 with less content. Would not recommend even for 99 cents. I recommend going to the guides page on the community section to see how to "advance" in the game quickly.

If you are wondering whether to buy it, give it! It is very stocky. It is optimized!

nice game...
i want to change ''Shakotan'' but i can't.

Honestly yes it was 99p, i wasn't expecting anything amazing but i cant help but feel let down by this game, the 'story mode' is completed at level 6, but the game finishes at level 30+

it is constantly just another boring race until the nect level which takes ages and ALL of the FWD cars suck, nothing exactly game breaking just meh.

4/10

How to improve the game:

Add a better, longer campaign.
Add more cars with less levels in-between.
Better graphics.
Make FWD cars have traction
Add volume settings for music and cars/SFX because cars sound good, music is terrible....

Meh it's kinda boring tbh, it needs more content, for example , online racing,customizing options.
The sound is the same in every car, and it's just a repeating cicle you keep doing the same thing endlessly.

99c. why not. Running k-series tranny tuned on the civic is fast.

This game freezes constantly during race mode. Also, no way to fully delete your file to restart. :( I really want to play this.

it aint disapoiting, tuning perfect, make hondas into 180 MP/H american fellows, i can convert that into mph, instead of km/h! just no cars like drift street japan, 5 dollars good waste, 1 dollar PERFECT WASTE MONEY!

It is a ripoff, the interface is ugly, the rules behind the game are really weird and it is very very hard to progress. Upgrades in the game can be reverted but do not give back money. Do not buy this.

JDM Tuner Racing reminds me of a Flash game, and there's apparently a reason for that. According to other gamers who've bought this game, it's virtually identical to Drag Racer v3.

Normally, I wouldn't fault a game for seeming similar to another, especially since there's only so many ways to design a game within the same genre. That said, JDMTR provides nothing new or of any value beyond the free Flash game that apparently inspired it.

The basic concept behind JDMTR is illegal racing where you take normal cars, modify them way beyond the manufacturer's specifications (which is dangerous in real life) while adding various bits of ridiculous design elements, such as an overly large spoiler.

That alone would make for a fine game (and in fact, it's worked in other games), but JDMTR breaks down immediately once you start playing it.

How so? Allow me to explain...

There is NO documentation, tutorial, or any instructions/guides whatsoever. The game itself isn't difficult to play, but many features within it — such as knowing how to fine tune your gear shift — or explaining certain acronyms (i.e. NOS) and initialisms (i.e. RPM) are left entirely up to the player to figure out.

The menu system is confusing and clunky to use. For instance, there's a section entitled "setup," which most gamers will assume means "this is the options menu." Not so in JDMTR. This section lets you tune your gear shift, but like I explained before, offers no guidance on what any of it means or how it works.

The money you earn while playing lets you purchase new vehicles and upgrade components. The problem with this is there's no "undo" function.

Some people might say, "There's a downgrade option to solve this!"

Well, yes and no. Downgrading will get rid of the last upgrade you bought and installed; however, it won't refund any of the money you spent, so downgrading leaves you worse off than before.

The graphics are passable, but static and look at least a decade out of date, if not more so. Honestly, the graphics in JDMTR are the least of its issues, which doesn't say much for it.

The actual gameplay is extremely limited and as far as I can tell, is entirely keyboard-only except for navigating the menus, which uses the mouse.

Racing consists of pushing "up" on the arrow keys, while "left shift" will shift into a higher gear (oddly enough, you can't downshift) and the "alt" key will fire NOS. Aside from clicking on menus, that's all the gameplay present in JDMTR.

Now to be fair, there is a positive to JDMTR: It's incredibly cheap (normally priced at 99 cents USD, and I got it on sale for 69 cents USD) so at absolute worst, you've wasted one solitary dollar. You can't buy anything for a dollar nowadays, not even a cup of coffee or a bottle of soda.

So would I recommend JDM Tuner Racing? Absolutely not. Save yourself some money and go play the free Flash game version instead.

Im say that this is a doller you wont want to spend the game feel more like a free flash game what the creater recomened software. a huge car guy will say that the custom parts are rice insted the only thing i was thinking while i was playing this was "WELCOME TO THE RICE FARM MOTHER****" and the vinlys for the cars look like it was a copy and paste if i was you save your doller and buy the performance dlc for car mechanic sim

For a game under 1 dollar it will give a couple hours of fun...

It's basic just win races, earn cash and buy new cars you can customize and race but it is actually fun especially when you add a turbocharger and you hear the blow off valve!

Junk plain and simple. No tutorial options nothing. junk. Stay away.

I love drag racer v3 (which is a FREE flash game) and I really wanted to love this game too, but it lacks in so much content and customization features as well as a AI difficulty settings, you either smoke them or they smoke you. there is no feel of progression all it is race after race after race and the cars, or lack there of, aren’t organised in classes.

Until the devs put more content into the game I am going to have to not recommend it. This game needs more cars, more body, rim, spoiler and hood customization as well as being able to set the AI difficulty and a test track section to test your tune setup.

This game lacks features, it appears to re-use assets from the dev's other games, and after a while, becomes a chore to grind for cash and exp. Pointless game that doens't offer any gameplay.

If you are going to present as something that should be a free flash game. Don't use licensed logos such as Billabong, Sony and Subway to sell your product. That's before we talk about car stuff, including WRC..

[review]Hold up, press shift, x4. win. Receive some change. Do this 10+ times to 'level up' for bonus cash. No ranks or leaderboards. Most 'licensed' cars and parts cost too much and require higher levels. About the most detailed thing you do is tweak gear ratio. Cheap or not, it's mind-numbing.[/review]

ok so its a cheap game that could have been free i mean you have that old game call drag racer V3 that is still better after all that time than this game. you can do less thing that drag racer v3. this game have less car less modification/tuning it the car with who you racing cant win if you dont miss shift and even so it stay far behing. you cannot realy go head to head against a supra with an bone stock AE86. worst that that the can on the back is clearly bigger than you even if you are the one near the screen so no depth of field. sorry but even for a game at 30% rebate that cost me 75 canadian cent it too much. im gonna go back to drag racer v3 if i want to play a 2d drag racing game.
