Gameplay
R is a racing-sim game featuring over 33 licensed cars from various motorsports series (such as JGTC, WRC and 24 Hours of Le Mans), and in-depth customization options such as braking, front wheel stabilizers, and car weight. Other features concerning gameplay include drifts, Nitro adjustments, and individual classes and attributes for every car. The game also features a system referred to as the pressure meter, a fighting game-esque gauge that fills up as the player gets closer to a rival car; the higher the meter, the greater the likelihood that the AI will make a critical mistake.
The game offers a story mode where the player follows the racing career of Rena Hayami as she struggles to deal with the busy life of a professional race car driver and the politics of the sport. The mode features 14 chapters, in which the player earns new cars, RP points for new purchases, and views CG movies proceeding every chapter.
Other modes include the usual racing game fare: single races, time attacks, a versus mode, and car customization. It is rated T (Teen for Mild Language and Suggestive Themes) for realistic driving mechanics (similar to Gran Turismo 3 and Kaido Battle: Nikko, Haruna, Rokko, Hakone) and some scenes unsuitable for kids.
