Summary
DooZy-J Type-R is a typical instalment apart from the backgrounds being made of polygons instead of sprites.
There are also around 5 mini-bonus games, which add replay value.
Reception
Zero4 Champ's graphics weren't well-received as the developers decided to use sprites for the cars rather than polygon models. Praise was given for its extreme car customization, a mechanic used so that the vehicles can outperform the opposition. Overall, Zero4 Champ was considered an average drag racing-style game, not an adequate arcade racer or racing simulation.
