Initial D - Battle Stage

Title: Initial D - Battle Stage Overall: Buy Keywords: 2002, Action, Competition, TV Special Notables: This 40 minute special focuses just on the car races that were shown in the first three series stages. Being almost all computer generated imagery, the story is set up as a series of bouts in which the different types of cars face off against one another. The drivers and Initial-D storyline are almost absent, as new music has been paired with updated footage to highlight the climatic moments in the Initial-D series.

Initial D - Battle Stage Ok, so there was no story, just a bunch of battles from stages 1 to 3...BUT the computer animation has all been re-done and they even put some cool tracks in the background to give it a different twist...Also, they gave you 1 BONUS race never seen before on any initial D episodes. The FD races the EVO IV of team Emperor...To me this is a must own for every Inital D fan...Better graphics, just get to the point races, good music and a bonus race...There is not much more you can ask for...unless you were hoping for a story...
