This is basically Need For Speed with all the
cars changed to Nissan cars. This wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for
the fact that you can't cause massive pile ups or flip the car like you
can in Need For Speed. This makes Nissan Over Drivin' GTR quite dull.
One of the most fun aspects of Need For Speed on the Saturn was to see
your car go hurling through the sky then smash in to the oncoming
vehicles. Sadly all that's gone in the Japanese game thanks to Nissan.
If I was you, I'd pass on this Japanese version and get the western Need
For Speed game. To the Japanese Nissan version's defense I will say that
it does have some pretty nice FMV. It's a shame the same can't be said
about the car models used within the game. Even they look worse than the
Ferraris and Lamborghinis used in the western release.
Saturn game collectors will know that Japanese Saturn games come in
standard CD cases or double cases however Nissan Over Drivin' comes in a
case similar to early Japanese PlayStation releases. Yep, those shitty
ones that always seem to have broken hinges. The reason for this is that
the game comes with a pretty nice metal key ring as shown below.
Unfortunately, the key ring is so nice that most people kept it when
they sold the game on. So finding one isn't that easy. I've seen 100's
of used Nissan Over Drivin games but only a handful of the key rings.
