Midnight drag racing on the DS, Simple-style

D3 Publisher's Simple DS Series Vol. 22: Age Age THE Zero-yon Shinsha (the name translates to something like The 400-meter Midnight Drag Race) actually looks kind of neat for a Tamsoft-developed Simple series game. The idea of a drag-racing game on the DS, we think, is somewhat novel, though we aren't sure if it'll translate into interesting gameplay.

We also think the anime-style presentation looks pretty nice, too, even if we're pretty sure we'd hate having our view of the race obscured by our character's constant emoting. We confess that in this game, we'd spend less time racing and more time in the car-washing minigame, because hey, car-washing minigame. There are also scratchable lottery tickets and Simple-series-themed slot machines that we think are pretty clever! They should distract nicely from the main game about driving in a straight line for a very short time.

Here he comes. Here comes Speed Racer.
He's a demon on wheels.
I hope the movie game will be good.
