Just play Maximum Tune. If that's not enough to dissuade you, then fair enough. I can at least provide some details about the game itself: - Shifting is sequential, not H-Pattern. Sorry Manual fans :( - Playing with a Keyboard is NOT recommended. Steering is very strange in general, and you lose a ton of speed based on how far the wheel is…

However, if you're looking for good amount of option, it doesn't have GAME IMPRESSION: 🕘 2011: Game released on Arcade Machine 🕘 2018: Game released on PC 🕘 2020: Lack of value.... GRADE WORTH BUYING? OVERALL DISCOUNT A+ Worth Deluxe Edition - No Wait A Worth Normal Price - No Wait…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fake Japanese game made by Chinese devs that can't even properly develop a game. > The text is low quality > There are no graphics settings, no anti-aliasing > Fullscreen/Borderless option doesn't work > There is no way to save your game manually > Game Invitations via Steam doesn't work > Multiplayer crashes once you are done with only one race, host can't exit, he's forced to restart the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While I can appreciate an arcade game be brought to PC, this port is horrendous: - The recommend specs say Windows 10, yet it gave me an error when launched on W10: "Could not find any compatible Direct3D devices." I had to run the game in compatibility mode to even start it. - Borderless Fullscreen only works on Windows 7, and there isn't even a Fullscreen option! - The game speed increases if its run over 60FPS. Yet, instead of making a hard cap because of this, the game just ends up…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wangan Midnight KW
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →WTF there is no audio settings literal earrape
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is a fun game and I enjoy playing it, but it has issues. The menu options are buggy. The "B" button doesn't always back you out of choices, you can get stuck having to play story mode if you accidentally select it. There's no way to pause the game in progress and interruptions happen. The game is ok, but not worth $10. I picked it up on sale. I like it. I just believe there are many better racing games to support by purchasing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There's no audio options, and video options are just resolution and windowed/borderless fullscreen but that fullscreen doesn't even work, game stays windowed
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →BEWARE! NO 4K Support, NO Controller Vibration! NO FULLSCREEN! Game should only be run at 60hz, 120/144 makes it Run FAST..like TURBO. Original Arcade Version runs at 30FPS on a 60hz Monitor so you will need to Limit FPS to get Arcade Real Speeds. Otherwise evry Move will Slow you Down like Hell cause its Engine looked and such. THIS IS NOTHING LIKE WANGAN MIDNIGHT! Even the Pictures look alike. No one plays Online..NO ONE! Be rly warned twice to buy it..you will get an cheap arcade game…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very simple race game that u can upgrade your car a bit as u win and get new body part, Also i find this game way to easy in single player even so i do enjoy this title
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice copy of Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune ported straight from arcades to PC. Also it's playable with friends if you lock it to 60 fps.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yet another lazy arcade racing game without steering wheel support. What a shame. It could have been fun otherwise.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm just leaving this positive review because I want to support this game, and I want more Japanese Arcade Style racing games ported and localized on PC. But this port is pretty jank. But it's not hard to fix, especially if you already play jank ports on PC. If you're on Windows 10, you'll need Borderless Gaming to play the game in Fullscreen. If you're on a monitor over 60HZ, you're gonna need Rivatuner to cap the framerate. If you're on Windows 7 with a 60HZ monitor this game will work…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →fps is locked to game speed... If you have a monitor over 60hz this ♥♥♥♥ is unplayable!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As others have said, doesn't have Full Screen. Yeah, the settings are there, but no. I just put in the request for a refund. The little bit that I did play (windowed) wasn't impressive. My expectations were extremely low, but this isn't worth your time...at all.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →one of the few racing games that have a plot. its not worth buying. lack of features overall. its just a port of a mediocre arcade game. even the physics is pretty lackluster. go for inertial drift instead. wish we had wangan midnight port. thats how you will feel playing this cons: -lack of choice for visual customization. theres no options, they are all forced as you progress. -it saves your story and level progress, but no times -ai just follows a line, thats it -you cant change your car…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First impressions: This game is fun. As a maxi player since 2, this game is just fun, no it isnt maxi but in its own right, it is a proper simulation of that experience, high speed, corny writing and just fun. I cannot iterate how much fun this game is, especially when we cant go out to play maxi due to the pandemic, and this game brought a huge smile to my face from the start of the race to the end. In the discussions someone even has linked a way to implement the soundtrack from Maxi 5 into…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gonna bump just to support this dying genre.....
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Multiplayer doesn't work as intended, at all.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Watching the trailer, I didn't want to believe the negative reviews, so I gave this game a whirl. I am now refunding my purchase. The graphics are excellent, but no amount of good gfx can save this game. The music is good, but the sound effects themselves are subpar. Every time you slightly tilt the wheel it makes an annoying screeching sound. There is no voice acting just lame comic book popup texts. Overall just lame. The racing itself is very boring, the car is very grippy and theirs just…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →60FPS lock, physics tied to frame-rate.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have a 144 hz monitor, and this game expects me to manually lower my referesh rate to 60 hz every time I want to play it. The developer is aware of it, and their solution was to add a message to the into videos!? The game may be decent. I was happy with the graphics but the gameplay seemed... bland. Either way though, I'm not going to find out. I play arcade racers to pop in for a few laps, have some fun, and then do something else. I'm not interested in having to remember to change my…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ultimately, it's just a dull and frustrating grind.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gave me childhood memories from the arcades, wish they had fullscreen or at least blacked out bars that isn't overscaled for ultrawide/super ultra wide users overall, it's a neat game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Guys Id like to start of by saying this game isn't good and pass it up. The price of the game looks appealing but, I am here to tell you, that it isn't. I bought this game, because I thought I was going to get to feel how games used to feel during my childhood. I have played a lot of arcade games in my life. I saw this game looking a bit like Initial D the arcade game..I have played inital D in the arcades and It was fun. Then I saw on youtube because I still wasn't sure about buying this…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't buy this crap. You can't run it in fullscreen mode, plus the devs are too lazy and don't care to fix it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game speed is tied to FPS. unplayable if you have high refresh rate monitor. (well you can change your hz but too much hassle for me)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →really fun game but please fix all the bugs. Why every time i turn left and right the speedometer drops?? and why the multiplayer so bad?? every time i tried to match make there is always no one is so boring just playing single player
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Diet Wangan Midnight/Maximum Tune I haven't played any titles from those yet so maybe the bar isn't set as high, but I had an alright time with this game. You get to go fast through some simple urban tracks with a very arcade-y car controller (so arcadey that I'm not sure racing lines really do anything, though you still want to hit the apex on your turns). 48 races that are each just different cuts of one of four looping routes or you can play a mode where you see how far you can make it…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've encountered such a rare arcade model in the shopping mall, and by the time I did some research on this game, there was a PC-ported version. Overall, it's still highly remarkable. Sad that we might never have an PC-ported version of the IDAS (Initial D Arcade Stage) or Wangan Midnight, but this makes up for it. Thank you, Saint-Fun International. You did what other arcade developers could not. :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's not WMMT, but it's still good.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Steering wheel not supported!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Closest thing we have to WMMT on steam. It needs work, but it's all we have right now.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Broken video and controller support. Check the forums.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ok so some things to note as a player of wangan midnight i spent almost like 500 on it and my car is class A5. 1) there's no back view. 2) there's no brake blocking 3) throttling turbo is very imprecise 4) you cannot jump gears. AKA your recovery is absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. 5) Multiplayer is pretty ♥♥♥♥. But then again arcade cabinets are all linked via LAN so maybe im being spoiled by that. now some good things: 1) Map design is solid. Osaka espically. 2) storyline is not bad. Idk why everyone is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Needs a lot of work. Please fix. -Game speed scales with frame rate (120fps = double speed, unplayable) -Engine sound is non-existent, I can only hear turbo -Windowed borderless is not borderless and there's no full screen mode -Menu controls conflict with game controls because only one binding is allowed per button -Annoying tire squeal at the slightest turn -Generally crappy sound FX -Needs voice acting so we don't have to read and drive at the same time This game has so much potential…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is Fast Beat Loop Racer GT, an arcade racing game that is actually also an arcade machine game released back in 2011. It's fair to say it's kind of bootlegged version of Wangan MMT, because it actually is. The gameplay is arguably similar but it has its own flavor in terms of physics, maps. It's kinda good game but there are so many things wrong with this game. That being said, you can buy this game maybe to entice the devs or publisher to bring more arcade machine game to PC, but…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →AI always inevitably catches up with you near the end no matter how fast you go, but decent fun until you realize the races are pretty rigged.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The courses are too easy. At the time of writing this review, I'm a little over 2 hours in. I really wanted to get into a game about Japanese street racing, and tuner culture with some Initial D vibes, so I thought I would give this game a shot. I've been playing the story mode, and every race has been starting to feel the same. There are just so many long straight stretches of roads with sparse traffic on every course. I want to drive on the touge. The story is also just weird. It follows…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was exactly what ive been itching for. Something like Wangan Midnight\Tokyo Extreme racing and Initial D arcade.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ignore the negative reviews, most of them are just crying for wheel support or fps or tech issues that less than half the people who bought this game actually have. This is a cheap clone of the Wangan MIdnight Maxiumum Tune arcade games, and is pretty decent at what it does. If you want a quick, drop-in, drop-out racing game, this is for you. Just don't expect anyone online, the community for that only lasted a week.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do not buy this game if you have a 4k display. It will not play in full screen.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →bing chilling racing
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There's no fullscreen even after you set the setting to boderless fullscreen
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wangan Midnight for steam users
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →wait I had thiz game?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If I could review this game mixed, I would. It is a good game at its core, but with so many minor errors, that each subtract from the experience, that a great game becomes only okay. PROS: -The actual racing is extremely fun -The soundtrack is banging -The AI opponents feel at least kind of interesting (maybe that is just due to my lack of skill though?) -There are 24 race tracks + a mirror mode for each = 48 total race tracks (~2mins per race) CONS: -This is a direct port of the arcade…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →On a platform that sorely lacks good arcade racers, even a mediocre one like Fast Beat Loop Racer is enough to stand out. Just make sure to choose one of the faster cars to avoid frustration in the early game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No updates after June 2018.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game could have been a perfect arcade racing and the best on steam of its genre. The real fun starts when hard mode is unlocked, the you'll see the real potential of this game. Pros: - Require low spec pc -Cars upgrades - Tunning for strategy race -Cool liveries different depends on the car model -Beautiful scenarios -Nice graphics -Extreme races, drifting and perfect traces Cons -Audio options not available but there's a solution to stop the music -Races cannot be restarted -Not…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pros: Graphics, music, art style, controls Cons: No full screen option, no audio options at all, annoying tire squeal noise literally any time you're turning the wheel, and limited POV selections It's a decent budget racing game, but trust me when I say the audio is going to get annoying real fast.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Good: Fun WMMT clone, soundtrack is alright ig, pretty enjoyable experience. The Bad: No ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ full screen, are you kidding me... Fun for the price when on sale though, definitely getting some more hours out of this!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short version I wanted to like the game, but couldn't even get it to work. When I pay for something, I just want it to work when i press start. Tired of these games you need to fix before playing. It's your job as developers, not ours. Detailed version Start the game after download it, got an error message from windows concerning 3D object. Game was in low resolution in very small window. Change the size and reso. Need reset to take it into account. So I did reset the game. All I got…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oh you wanna play WMMT? you wanna play WMMT so baad?? 2024 Update: I was recently got bored scrolling through my steam library, then i looked at this and i dont remember playing it so i gave it a redownload and give it a try. and my god this game is as horrible as ever, right of the bat there's a resolution issue, where if you have a larger display than 480p resolution, the game would display everything on the top left corner no matter how youve set the video settings (even fullscreen…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Couldn't get the yellow tachometer :(
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't dislike the game. I just found a ton of game mechanics rather off putting from making the game worth owning/trying to complete. The game plays like an early access product. As a finished product, this is far from it. The mechanics related to the vehicles itself are rather off. You can't steer vehicles without speed being cut off instantly, if the AI vehicles are touching your car when you crash theirs crash too and the environments feel like ghost towns. As a WIP or very early access…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great Japanese arcade racer.. In the style of Wagan Midnight Maximum Tune series and Initial D. The handling is spot on and it is a huge amount of fun... So why not recommend it... Well I have tried on two PC's and both times it has failed to initially load.... I can fix it to a point... you go to the exe file right click and override the DPI settings... This makes it work and almost full screen... with just a header bar at the top. But I really shouldn't jump through hoops like this to play…
