  • Summary: Having the fastest car doesn't guarantee you success in Test Drive: Eve of Destruction. If you can take out your opponents while minimizing damage to your own vehicle, you'll be the last one standing in 25 events, including Demo Derby, Suicide Race, and Figure 8 Race. Choose from more than 12 racing venues and a variety of vehicles, such as buses, hearses, and ambulances, and fight to the finish in single-player races or split-screen multiplayer battles.… Expand

    The best of the Test Drive series and a personal favorite. The game is realistic in execution. The music rocks. The gameplay is a blast.

    One thing that’s subtle-yet-striking is that you can tell the difference when you hit someone and when you’re getting being hit by the way the screen shakes.

    Eve of Destruction has all the twisted metal action fans of vehicular carnage will love, but its repetitious races and awkward controls just hold back what could have been a great demolition derby game.

    The problem is, driving crappy cars around dirt tracks as low speeds isn't very much fun at all. [Nov 2004, p.97]

    It is beyond belief how this game is being scored so low. It is the best demolition derby game to date! The numerous play modes have something for everyone and will keep the average gamer busy for months. One of the best Xbox purchases I have ever made.… Expand

    Underrated by reviewers so far... This one is just plain fun. There are so many great game types to choose from. It's perfect for multiplayer craziness.… Expand

    Career mode isn't so hot but the two-player mode is a blast. Realistic speed and dirt track driving make this a fun simulation/fantasy game.
