I've not seen the vid but from your reaction I'm presuming it was Akina (the one with the 5 consecutive hairpins).
Akina is probably the most demanding of the Initial D courses. The other 3 ver. 1 courses (Myogi, Usui and Happoghara) are much more straightforward. Happoghara actually looks quite difficult if you simply look at the overhead map, but when you play it it is pretty straightforward.
But, even Akina is quite managable once you become au fait with the drift techniques and Akina is the 3rd course (at least in Arcade Stage) so you will get plenty of practice on the earlier courses first.
Don't fret

It isn't identical to Ridge Racer, but trust me, this game is incredible

Originally posted by TrebleI just expected a brighter pallette and a lot more silly and flashy effects, like huge '!!!!!!!!!!' signs and ****, and maybe little character face wincing, in typical anime style
Not complaining, though. It looks really good.

Does anyone know where the best place to pick up a Logitech wheel is? I'm doing the review and want to be fully equiped to do the game justice.

Initial D > Ridge Racer series and Sega Rally
I just bought the Logitech wheel today specifically for this game(50 quid from Virgin if any of you are interested), it's the best arcade racer since the original Daytona, I've spent about 300 quid on it after playing it since about February and that's a modest amount of money compared to that of the more dedicated players. It hasn't been called Initial Drugs for nothing it's stupidly adictive,there's none of the played out psuedo-simulation type gameplay that permeates the likes of Gran Turismo et al either and if you're a fan of the anime you get so much more out of it.

It's a common misconception for people to expect the cars in the series to be hand-drawn.
IGN claimed that Auto Modelista was closer to the Initial D anime than this is for that reason which is yet further evidence that anyone who pays for that Insider crap is a complete tool and deserves to die.
By the way, you people who haven't seen the series may want to do so before playing, because it makes the game just that little bit more special.

Plus it's a damn fine series in its own right.
