Import Tuner Challenge

Import Tuner Challenge is the first game in the Shutokou Battle series to be released for the Xbox 360. Compared to the previous games in the series, this one offers a greater range of car customization, the ability to talk to characters, and the addition of the Shibuya Line and Shinjuku Line. On the other hand, Wangan Line and some other courses have been removed, and the number of car models that appear has been significantly reduced.
