NOT WORTH EVEN $5

If I were to have played this game at an arcade, I would have put in my 50 cents, and THAT would have been too much to spend on this horrible game. The car physics are nowhere near realistic, and makes having any fun nearly impossible. This game has taught me that an impulse buy based on cool cover art is something that should NEVER be done. I thought this was going to be similar to PS1's DRIVER game (which was awesome), but even an 8-year-old wouldn't enjoy this Top Gear Garbage.

More like .5 stars

This game is by far the worst game I have ever played. It was by far the worst game I have ever played. I would go to my storage and dig out my old Atari before I ever consider playing this game again. To repeat what others have said, the driving control is absolutely ridiculous. Racing games, for the most part, tend to exaggerate the physics of driving, but I have never seen a game that made them worse. On top of that, the purpose was altogether non-existent. Who wants to run around a small section of town crashing into buildings and picking up coins along the way? COINS!!! Please do not buy this game... I don't want to see a Maury Povich show about people who bought this game and then killed themselves.

this game ...

I rented this game because they didn't have atv and i wanted a 2 player racing game. The graphics are average but the controls and the objectives are the worst i have ever seen in a video game. I swear the car absolutely will not turn until you're almost at a wall and by then its too late. If you try to brake and turn your car comes to a complete halt. And all you did is drive around and get coins. WHOOOPEEE!!!!!

The Worse Car Racing Game EVER!

I recently purchased this game at Best Buy for ..., and all I can say is this game is terrible. I was so frustated with the game, because all you do is drive around town trying to collect coins. How can you collect coins when you can't even control the damn car? It is impossible to make turns, every time I tried to make a turn I crashed into a wall. I know people might see this game advertised somewhere for a low price, but don't fall for it. This game is not worth your time or money!

geez

Looks great, but plays like Pac Man without the blue meanies. Basically, you drive collecting coins. That is it. The cars are very slow and the lack of excitement is enhanced by the lame music. Save your money or buy Smugler's Run instead. You will thank me.

HORRIBLE GAME PLAY ruins outstanding graphics

This game is visually stunning! The modeling of the cities is no less than outstanding with considerable detail. One has dreams of flying hell-bent through traffic, skidding around corners and wreaking havoc throughout (ala Road Rash). But, alas, all the time and effort assembling this game is wasted with the most incredibly poor, lame and uncontrollable vehicles to ever surface in a modern video game system. I was completely amazed at how consistently bad every car performs. Steering is ridiculous; most cars don't handle well above 50MPH! Thus, power slides, controlled skids or hops are impossible, effectively eliminating all fun. I believe most of us would not want a PS2 game that simulated simple city street driving in traffic with, say, a station wagon. Worse, an impossible handling one but, here it is. NO Thrills, NO Stunts, Absolutely NO Excitement!! Drive around erractically and pick up spinning coins. Why is this game called A)Top Gear? and B)Dare Devil? You can't go fast and nothing daring is required to win- only infinite practice. I am not a terribly advanced gamer, However, I do love a great racing/driving game. This is not it! Even old ATARI games had more realistic handling cars. DO NOT BUY IT! I Wouldn't even recommend renting it because to become competent will probably require more time and patience than the length of the rental period. I ended up receiving this as a gift and was compelled to get some value from it. It now sits in the trade-in bin of my local game store while I race around the tube with "ATV Offroad Fury" and "Smugglers Run"- Now that's FUN! Top Gear Daredevil is the ultimate $50 rip-off!!!

Worst game ever!!!!

Do not buy this game! Don't even rent it! I rented it about an hour ago, and i think i'm gonna take it back and say it didn't work. The cover art is very decieving, it makes it look like a fast paced driving game with big jumps and awesome stunts, boy is that wrong! The graphics are ok, i must admit, but not the best.The steering is terrible! When i see a turn, i hold down the right or left button, and usually the car will miss the turn completely, and you will end up making that sharp turn that you wanted right into the wall after you miss the turn! And the objectives are so stupid, you just drive around a boring town and collect coins.And I've never even been able to get my car to go above 60 mph! Top gear, huh? This game has nothing daring in it either. Oh, wait, i was wrong, you crash into everything into your path cause you can't even steer around it! I guess that is kinda daring. If you're thinking of getting this game, i think that by now in this review you've gotten the hint that you shouldn't. So, don't get this game and spend your money on a different one.

Horrible controls

I think this game is the worst game ever. When I got this game I thought it was going to be awesome from the picture, DON'T BE FOOLED it is horrible the cars always bash into the walls and you go like 5 mph. I think this could be elligible to be the worst game for PS2. No cops chase you either I mean talk about false advertising. If you want a game ge Driver or Drive 2.

Quite Possibly the Worst Racing Game Ever

My friends and I recently rented this game, thinking it would be kinda fun. But we were definately let down. The silly little British cars were ok at first, but after awhile I was getting annoyed with driving them and looking at them. The graphics were pretty nice, but trying to control the cars was a nightmare! Even the first car, which is slow as hell, was sliding all over the place when I tried to turn corners. Also, the game is pretty pointless. You drive around picking up coins to unlock new cities to drive in and new cars, and there is absolutely no 'dare devil' aspect in this game at all! Hell, there's no 'top gear' aspect either, because the cars all maybe 50 MPH tops. The only cool thing was bashing through windows and stuff with the car, but that got old after about five times. This game is maybe decent enough for a rental, but is most certainly not worth the cost of purchasing it!
