This game has an incredible sense of speed, realistic graphics and a whole bunch of tracks waiting for you to conquer.

Still not quite as good as Colin McRae Rally, it's pretty darn close.

If console Rally racing games were gatherings for S&M-catering aficionados (read: racing junkies), then Test Drive V-Rally for Dreamcast is the dominatrix to which you should gratefully submit yourself as its bitch of choice.

This is the best rally racing game on the Dreamcast, with good graphics, great control and physics, and a ton of options to add to the game's longevity.

This thing is a joy with a good wheel. Very responsive, and very realistic.

TDVR stands out for a being a fun driving game that places its emphasis on fast action rather than hardcore realism.

This is a game that takes no prisoners. Brutal, raw, fast, and furious this is racing at its finest.

A damage model makes the game more intriguing, although it is available in only one mode. The graphics suffer from pop-up and collision detection miscues, but overall the game looks good.

It's hard to believe that a game this good sells for such a low price while so many other games that suck sell for more

Though crappy brakes take away some of the game's drivability, the superb graphics and special effects still offer a winning combination for DC off-road enthusiasts.

Mike M. gave it a9:
The only good rally racer on the Dreamcast. Smooth framerate, nice visuals, good car and 'track' selection and excellent handling/physics.
