Driving Emotion Type-S is a driving simulation featuring real-life automobiles and cinematic graphics. Car choices range from the relatively pedestrian Honda Civic to more high performance machines like the Porsche 911 or the Ferrari F50. Players race on realistic models of actual tracks. The game is produced by Square, the company famous for their hugely popular Final Fantasy series of role-playing games.

Type-S has all of the best official cars from BMW, Honda and much more. And as you complete each objective (i.e. winning each race) you can unlock up to 50 new cars (including those from Ferrari and Porsche) and 10 new tracks. Each track ranges from easy to hard, and once you have finished you can go through the entire race in a TV like replay.

Features:
Licensed cars from Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Mitsubishi, Mazda, Subaru, Porsche, Ferrari, BMW, Alfa Romeo, and TVR
Test your driving skills on the competitive Suzuka and Tsukuba circuits
Features both a "normal" or "simulation" mode for more realistic handling
