one of my favourite guilty pleasures on the ps2, especially when upscaled on pcsx2, yes it does have its flaws (major ones at that) but it’s a game I find myself coming back to time and time again simply due to its rich sense of style, there’s no other racing game like it (GT Pro Series is close but still not the same). Hopefully in the future we may see someone take up the mantle of a auto modellista successor

As you brought up, cel-shaded graphics from the era have held up so hell. XIII, Windwaker, Jet Grind Radio, Okami, just to name a few, all look awesome.

This game was so addictive for me. 1st game I played with backfiring exhausts after gear changes and pops off throttle, the sound was awesome. Couldn't get enough. Probably doesn't hold up today though.

Yeah, I can admit that despite Auto Modellista has one of the best art directions in video game ever, the difficulty and handling don't bode well. I know you could start off in a slower car for the sake of competitiveness, but given the base roster you get when starting Garage Life you'd pick a Skyline anyway and just cheese your whole way through. The easy handling US Tuned has didn't help, but I remember watching my friend's stream on the original Japanese version and it got a harder handling or so. Had this game was given a second chance, they could have time to fix those. Can't help thinking about the fact that the game has Jiotto Caspita and Tamiya Kakegawa Circuit though.

The AI can give you some challenge if you barely modify your car or if it is unmodifiable (like the Honda NSX). You'd have opponents that at least on the first lap or two have much faster cars and handle their cars somewhat decently. However, the most challenge you can get is on the hill tracks. The AI issue with this game stems from it trying to pair your car with the ones that match its performance. Trying to beat the garage mode with the Subaru Young SS can be either the hardest or easiest thing ever. If you don't modify that little bean you will luckily get second place if you're really good as the other cars you're pinned against are too fast for it (kinda like GTs situation with the Midget) However, once you modify the Young SS at max that thing will zoom past your opponents. Granted, you will be constantly hearing the redline beeping though

Never played this game but I'll definitely say this is on my bucket list. But I did played this free to play arcade racing game that have very similar art style called Drift City that sadly shutdown it's servers in 2016 in USA however I did a quick search and somehow to this day, the official Korean servers are up and there is a fan server running Drift City surprisingly.

I really hope they re-release this game, I would love to play it, even if I am a Xbox player. Having a bigger car list, with new and old car brands, would be amazing, especially with this artstyle, since other new games focus more on realism.

Very much a style-over-substance game, but I still love it anyway. Just beat the game for the second time recently. I loved the garage customization in this game, unlocking furniture for it was honestly my main motivation for finishing the game. There was also the secret Tamiya RC track you unlocked for beating the game, giving your car a little antennae and body posts to look the part. Sadly the game still plays like as if you were driving a full-scale car, doesn't feel like controlling an RC car at all. I wish Capcom gave this IP a second chance with a sequel, the same can be said for Enthusia by Konami.

While there is some hit and miss with Auto Modellista, I do believe that opting for the cel shaded graphics is probably one of the best decisions that Capcom made. While it's obvious that the game has aged, the truth is that stylized art designs don't age as quickly or as poorly as trying to make realistic graphics. Having played US Tuned to totality, I do feel that handling issues that most people have comes from over driving their vehicles, but I can see why people would prefer the initial release version as well.

Man the possibilities this game had! The major factor that messed it up for me was definitely the handling 😔 other than that I loved the art style, loved the garage customization, loved everything else yes they should've gave an option to turn off the announcer... once in a while it was ok it gave you that feeling of playing a really cool Capcom Arcade cabinet game but after a while 😬

Seems most reviewers miss the entire point of the game. Racing has little to do with it, and is almost an afterthought. The main purpose is to tune cars, make cool videos of them, take photos, and most importantly, decorate your dream garage using official licensed items and goodies. It has more in common with "The Sims" than a racing game. It had far more "visual" customization than any other car game of it's time. In most games you were lucky if you could change the color of car much less add a body kit, and adding custom made decals you did yourself was unheard of!

@@jakeroon That's a good point. I used to play Street Rod entirely for the car customization and I hated how much it was about the racing, but I think that was mostly because the physics were terrible and only the drag racing didn't suck so I struggled to make money from the racing in that game.
