It is the last game in the series that was produced for Sega Dreamcast, though some of the game's mechanics were implemented into Daytona USA 2001.
The game received "generally favorable reviews" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[3] Jeff Lundrigan of NextGen said in his review of the game that the Tokyo Xtreme Racer series "has its adherents, and while we can clearly understand the attraction, for the most part we can't quite share it."[14] In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 34 out of 40.[7]GamePro said that the game "improves on the original, but not enough to make this an engaging racer. Kids, don't try this at home."[15][c]
Although not reviewed by The Electric Playground, the game was nominated for the "Best Console Driving Game" award at the Blister Awards 2000, which went to Smuggler's Run.[16]
In 2003 Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3 is the third game that was developed for PlayStation 2. The game takes place after the events of previous games. The response to this game was poor and was a limited release. The game was released in Japan and some parts of North America.
