 All right but not worth the $20 I got it for. January 6, 2007
Its all right. I mean, they only really have one half decent game mode. Its something called Cop Chase. You're the cop and you need to track down the five bad guys. To "arrest" them you ram them until the bar above the car is empty. Also, while the game is loading, you play pong. You know that first video game that our parents played when they were kids. All in all, if I were looking at it debating to buy it or not, I would put it back on the shelf.

Up until I met my husband I hated video games and anyone that played them. After I met him I fell in love. Then he introduced me to the world of video games and I fell in love again but this time with the PS2 and so I became a gamer.
This was the third game he introduced me to (the first was Tony Hawk Pro skater 4 and the second was Grand Theft Auto Vice City) my only other prior experience was Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Pitfall and Pole Position. So for me this was the perfect game to start with. I didn't know anything about graphics so I thought the graphics in this were fine. Because I was new to all of this, I was able to play without getting too frustrated and/or giving up. I was able to catch up to the other traffic and slowly built up my skills ultimately blowing them all away.
I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who eats, sleeps, and breaths video games but I would recommend it to anyone starting out. I had a lot fun and minimal frustration. My husband and I have spent hours and hours and racing against each other not to mention breaking record times over and over again. I have also finished the story portion of the game more times them I can count.
I have moved on and graduated to other games, the Burnout series, Grand Tourismo, MX Unleashed, MX vs. ATV Unleashed, Midnight Club series. But every now and then we break out Test Drive and we have a great time all over again. I'll always love this game!
 Rubberband AI and Pong. Yeehah!! February 22, 2004
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
That's all you need to know about "Test Drive", rubberband AI and Pong. Those are the only two things the game developers put any thought into and it just kills what possibly could've been a fun game.It's been said before and I'm gonna say it again in my review. The load times for this game are outrageous. Really awful. They're so bad that you are given the chance to play Pong while you wait. Sure...it's fun for about three games but then the next couple hundred times are boring. You just want the game to load up already. The load times would be tolerable if the game was worth the wait...which it's not! I don't know who first developed the whole rubberband AI concept but I have spent the better part of the last decade cursing them. Could someone please explain to me what the point of getting good at a game is if it makes no difference whatsoever? Why should I get to know the tracks and improve my powerslides if I don't have to? You could let your cat play this game up until there's about 30 seconds left before the end of the track. Then you just pick up the controller from your precious little Snowball and zoom past your opponents. How silly. The inability to fall far behind the computer racers makes this game a great title for kids and people who don't ever play racing games. They'll be proud of themselves for always being in every race. That's cool for them but a grave disappointment to those of us who want something that provides a challenge. Poor graphics and repetitive gameplay make this a game most of you should skip, unless it's dirt cheap in a bargain bin somewhere.

The game is fun but the playing gets boring after a while. If you don't get the checkpoint you lose. Need for speed is much better.
Could have been a lot better. September 27, 2003

- After playing Test Drive 5 and 6, i didnt expect much from this game. However, the graphics have changed A LOT! Thank heavens for that, since part 5 and 6 had some of the worst graphics in gaming history. The realisme of the game wasent to impressive, and the "story" mode wasent such a huge knockout. The game is overall a good arcade game for thosse of you who find Gran Turismo frustating and hard. For us others who are looking for realisme, we'll just have to wait for Gran Turismo 4. The game is NOT bad tough, but it could have been a lot better. The selection of cars and tracks are very limited when you first start, and except the paintjob, it aint nothing else you can do with the car except racing it. The tracks are beatifull, and the graphics are very to live with. Much of the music is awesome, and some of it are VERY headaching. I would recomment to buy the game. Its fun, and with the two player mode its even more fun. The tracks can be very hard due to the lamo high traffic.
