Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Tokyo Xtreme Racer, known as Shutok¿ Battle in Japan and Tokyo Highway Challenge in Europe, was one of the first launch games released for Dreamcast in 1999. The game is also one of the first mission based driving games. The player challenges other drivers on the Shuto Expressway in order to gain money to modify and enhance his or her car. The game features a wide variety of Japanese cars and tuning parts to purchase as the player progresses through rivals. When released in Japan, Shutok¿ Battle was one of the best selling Dreamcast title at this time. The game is based on illegal highway racing in Tokyo's Wangan highway with custom tuned cars. A such phenomenon is growing popular in Japan since the 90's with its dedicated manga (Shutok¿ Battle's biggest inspiration being Wangan Midnight), anime series and video games (C1 Circuit, Wangan Trial, Naniwa Wangan Battle).
