That guy that spent an hour trying to beat one level. That is just sorry. I am 13 and I beat the game in a little over a week. It only gets really challenging when you get to almost the very end.

This game so unrealistic. it made me so frusturated and annoyed because of all the fake stuff they put into it. I played it for about 3 days and gave up because it is so unreal. If you want a good street racing game thats not so unrealistic that its not fun, get Tokyo Extreme Racer Zero. If you want a good realistic racing simulator, get Gran Turismo 3.

Fast, Fun, & a MUST HAVE for racers

This game is very fun and not nearly as frustrating as some would have you think. The load times are worth the wait especially since you can play pong. I kinda miss the cup races from the previous test drives and i don't find the soundtrack as intense so the game seems a little less exciting than TD5 (its better and bigger than before, but often less extreme).
My copy is somewhat buggy as well. The car will occasionally do a "Buckaroo Bonzai" into the 8th Dimension, but I find that fun as well.

Bad racing game

Well, this game is not worth buy nor rent. There are so many flaw in this game. First, it's not playable with my PS2 Logitech Steering Wheel. Yes, it is compatible, but the control is ultra sensitive, it's impossible to play it with steering wheel. It is very very sensitive, your car going to slide over like crazy. And the worst part is, there's no option to calibrate it. The ugly part is, since when the gas pedal is on the left and brake pedal is on the right?. And there is no option to switch it. Overall, the control is very frustating for those of you who use steering wheel. Maybe it's better to play it with gamepad instead, which is no fun at all.

The graphic is not so bad. No aliasing, good sun glare. Yet, the cars are too shiny. It almost like looking at the mirror. Another complaint is that you race through San Fransisco, Tokyo, London, but why I don't see any big buildings there? You just race through the road in plain grass, mountain, trees and jungle. What happen? Those cities is not just plain grass and jungle. Hmm, maybe the developer never been in those cities nor see the pictures/photos. They just imagining what the city looks like and unfortunately they imagine the city in the year 1800 BC.

Let's talk about sounds. Duh, the car engine sounds worst than my lawnmower. And the police sirens......you're going to laugh when you hear it. Don't they have the research department? While the soundtracks are from big famous bands (example: DMX, Ja Rule, Moby), but the songs are the one that never hit the billboard nor radio station. Cheap license, eh?

Why? Why? I used to love Test Drive series, but this is such a disgrace. I don't know what the developer of this game was thinking. But clearly, this game is not finished yet (or they just don't care about it). Actually, from the opening movie you know that the developer didn't put their heart and soul to make this game. They just want to finish the game no matter how good/bad it's going to be. And unfortunately, it is bad. Still want to buy/rent this game to prove me wrong? Well, you can always do that, but don't tell me I didn't warn you.

Very poor physics and play control

While the graphic and sound for test drive are stimulating at first, the end result of playing this game for several hours is boredom and frustration.

The physics for car inertial forces, interactivity with other drivers, and lack of creativity overall combined with extremely long load times made playing it a waste of my time and certainly my money.

If one was to spend endless hours playing the thing Im sure you can get pretty good at it, regardless of the ...control. I have played hundreds of games and in the old days of NES you just accepted ... control and liked it if the game had good graphics. Today we should be able to expect both.

And whats up with the load times, a little more effort or possibly talent could have easily cut these in half--or does Rockstar games have a corner on the creativity and talent. Maybe so.

Im going to sell it and buy something else.

Oh my god!

I just rented this game from [local store] because i love the GT40 by ford (which is the coolest car ever) but anyways, i put it in my PS2 turn the power on and everything. It goes through the intro and stuff then it gets to the loading game pong. You know pretty cool you get to play pong for like 30 seconds.(so i thought) YOU END UP PLAYING PONG FOR TEN MINUTES![.] so i played and then i went to story mode or whatever, goes to the loading screen i am there for 10 minutes and still IT DOESNT COME ON![.] So i said forget this game [is bad][!]trust me if you are even thinking about this game my advice is rent it look at the loading time then make your decision. TRUST ME!

One word for Test Drive

I have one word to discribe this game and it is.....[bad]. This game is very unrealistic, there are to many things to name, and not enough room to type it all. The ingenious thing about this game is that you can play pong while the game is loading, but that's just about the best thing.

Slower than my old 386...

I like the game, it's definately not as good as GT3 or Tokyo Extreme Racer Zero, but it's kind of addictive. The biggest problem I had was the loading time!! It takes about 3 minutes to load a level. They do give you a game of Pong to play while you wait, but that gets boring quickly. If you want to restart the level, you must wait another 2 or 3 minutes and then you have to wait after the race too!!! I think they could have made it a little faster, I know the PS2 can handle graphics decently fast. The graphics aren't really all that good, and the levels seem to repeat. Eventually you race the same track over and over at each area of the world. ...

This Game is the Greatest

Wow! This game is sweet. The cars in this game are incredible although there are not as many as GT3 it is still great. One of the best parts in this game is definatly the drag racing. It is really fun with the cars they have too choose from. While the story line is cheesy the game play isn't. This game is one of the top street racers. You should definatly pick this game up!!!
