Shinseiki GPX Cyber Formula VS (2008) is a high-speed racing title based on the beloved 90s anime series Future GPX Cyber Formula. Unlike traditional racers, this game captures the “near-future” aesthetic of the show, where cars are equipped with Artificial Intelligence (Cyber Systems) and can transform their chassis mid-race to reach speeds exceeding 600 km/h.

The Plot / Premise: The Pinnacle of Racing

Set in the year 2023 and beyond, the world of motor sports has been revolutionized by “Cyber Formula,” where cars are assisted by sophisticated AI.

The Protagonist: You primarily follow Hayato Kazami, a young driver who accidentally becomes the only person synced to the advanced AI “Asurada.”
The Conflict: You race against legendary rivals like Bleed Kaga and Karl Lichter von Randoll in a global Grand Prix. The story in the PSP version covers various arcs from the TV series and the OVA sequels (11, ZERO, SAGA, and SIN).
The Goal: Master the “Zero Realm” (a state of hyper-awareness) and utilize your machine’s transformations to win the World Championship.

The Big Change: Tactical Transformations

The core mechanic that separates this from Wipeout or F-Zero is the Shifting System. You aren’t just driving; you are managing your car’s physical state:

Circuit Mode: The standard balanced mode for corners and general racing.
Aero Mode: The car’s body flattens and streamlines for maximum top speed on straightaways.
Boost / Spiral Boost: Triggering the “Boost Pods” provides a massive burst of speed, accompanied by the iconic anime sound effects and visual “heat haze” transitions.

Key Features

Massive Roster: Includes over 25 playable drivers and their signature machines (Asurada, Stealth Jaguar, Issuxark, etc.) from across the entire anime timeline.
Customization: You can upgrade your Cyber System’s AI to improve auto-recovery, cornering assistance, and boost duration.
7-Point Transformation: High-end machines like the v-Asurada can shift into multiple forms, including “Aero Mode” and “Lifting Turn” capabilities.
Ad-Hoc Multiplayer: Supports 2-player wireless battles, allowing you to recreate the intense 1-on-1 duels from the show’s finale.

Short Review: Anime Speed in Your Pocket

The Good

Incredible Sense of Speed: When you trigger the Boost, the screen blurs and the FOV widens, perfectly capturing the “supersonic” feeling of the anime.
Authentic Presentation: Features the original voice actors from the anime and the iconic soundtrack, making it a “playable episode” for long-time fans.
Technical Depth: It’s not just about holding the gas; you have to manage your boost pressure and engine temperature, adding a “sim-lite” layer to the arcade action.

The Bad

Steep Learning Curve: Maneuvering at 600 km/h is difficult. The AI is punishing, and hitting a wall usually means instant failure in higher-tier races.
Repetitive Tracks: While the cars are detailed, many of the tracks feel a bit “empty” and lack the environmental detail of other PSP racers like Ridge Racer.
Language Barrier: Navigating the upgrade menus and the “Story Mode” visual novel segments can be difficult without a translation guide.
