    Test Drive is all about unlocking fast cars and then unleashing them on the streets at mach speeds. [July 2002, p.80]

    Looks good and sounds great, but in a racing game to have the sensation of speed constantly interrupted is very damaging.

    Most of the things that I like about it are overshadowed by the things that frustrate me.

    The radar detector and cop chases that the series introduced are back..., but other than that, there isn't a lot that sets this racer apart from the pack. [July 2002, p.37]

    Picked this up used for under $20.00 and it's a fun Racing game. The textures are good and the action is there but the cars seem lighter than they should be without any weight when you crash. There are better racing games out there but this one is at least worth a look.… Expand

    The graphics are good, and the music is AWESOME, but it is just a plain arcade style racing game. Definitely rent this before you decide to buy it.

    The game has good graphics and great game play and sound. this game got me incredibly built up by the hype. but it is just hype. the game is incredibly fustrating especially the 10 degree angles that the competition seems to take easily. almost impossible to get out of sliding out of control. and completely annoying. loading takes like two minutes ( even though u can playatar's classic pong while your waiting). the crashes are un real. since there are no changes in the car when it was at 200 mile per hour it hit a 18 wheeler head on . and all it does is bounce but the truck spins around in three circles before it stops. come on! this game sucks and i don't think anyone should buy it at all. the commercials are completley misleading.… Expand
