Initial D: Special Stage for PS2 is an enhanced port of the arcade game Intial D : Arcade Stage (ver2).
There are two modes present in the game. The "Arcade Mode", as its name suggests, is a direct port of the arcade game, where the player chooses a car from a list of Japan's most famous drift machines, and hits the streets challenging characters out of the manga. The objective here is to simply beat every one of the characters to become the number one driver. As players go along, they collect points, which can be used to upgrade the car.
