Rhythmic
maneuvers take center stage when you're a virtuoso conductor in command of a
quaint "orchestra". Looking resplendent in your white coat with
tails, you conduct street-side musicians in various world locations by
following the cues on screen. Tap in time to the Pavlovian triggers and you'll
condition yourself into responding like a champ. Perfectly playable with a
standard Dual Shock 2 joypad; SCEI didn't feel the pangs to create a
specialized controller for this game.

Touge 3
US$63
Japanese speed
racers just don't trick out their cars for a nightly run on Tokyo Metropolitan
Highway ala Shutokou Battle, they can also go mountain racing. Like spirits of
the rushing wind, darting cars knighted with names from Mazda, Nissan and Honda
take on the winding roads of Akagi, Myogi, and Usui, among others. Is it fast
and furious? Fans of the previous Touge games will find the graphical
enhancements pleasing and the handling similar to incarnations ere. The GT
Force Wheel is supported.
