When I first bought this, i thought it was going to be a really good game because of the licineced cars and everything but when i bought it, i soon realized that this was a total wate of money! The graphics are N64 style and it has no real car physics , horrible soundtrack. This game is just a total waste of money!

PITIFULL.

The Test Drive series have had so much potential in the past few years with consoles getting more powerful, and with the Dreamcast arriving it should have had the perfect marriage, but all is not well 3D land.

My major complaints are the cars in particular, they handle like a unicycle with quirky handling, as if a Venturi, and other pure exotic cars actually handle that bad, I don't think so, the handling and physics of the game are completely annoying.

As for the look of the game the backgrounds are beautiful and richly textured, but the cars are a different story, they look dull and uninteresting.

It's understandable that the developers are rushed to finish a product to meet deadlines by their parent company, but rushing games will only eventually tarnish a brand such as the Test Drive series. If they are willing to spend two to three million in television and print advertising on a game, it leads me to think they were not in it for a perfect product but much rather a fast profit.

Caveat Emptor (let the buyer beware). Rent it first!

Oh God!! Not again.....

I hated the same game in the Playstation and the same creators could not improve the game in the much more POWERFUL sega Dreamcast.What a Pity and huge Surprise!!!!!This game does not reach ur expectations.For God`s sake don`t even think to buy this game.The cars don`t SEEM to be cars AT ALL.If u r expecting any BANGS from Dreamcast games ,then go for Test Drive Le Mans,or Ferrari355 Challenge,or Metropolis Street Racing......And never look back to 3rd class games like Test Drive6 or Roadsters or Monaco Grand Prix or F1 world grand prix.first read the reviews and then think and then buy the game u need...

I expected more.

The graphics in this game are pretty good, as you would expect on the Dreamcast, but the rest of the game is a dissappointment. Most of the tracks seem as narrow as bike paths and have walls on both sides which make the player feel like a mouse moving through a maze. The cars don't feel like real cars, and they seem to steer from the rear wheels and not the front. After playing SPEED DEVILS this game feels like Pole Position 2. If you want a racing game that looks and feels awesome pick up SPEED DEVILS.

really disappointed

I was going to buy this game but after reading the mixed reviews here I decided to rent it first. I'm a big fan of racing games, but TD6 was a big let down. The graphics are horrible by DC standards (low poly models, small tiled textures, ugly mip mapped road), and except for a higher screen resolution, would even be marginal on the PSX. There are a bunch of controller settings but every single one has brake/accel on the triggers which I find really uncomfortable. The collisions are annoying (sometimes you go right through trees/poles and other times you don't). I hate to say it but TD6 felt slapped together and the whole game had an amature feel to it... like a good shareware game. Rent it before you buy it IMHO.

Don't waste your money

How can a company actually publish a piece of garbage like this and expect it to compete on the same level as Need for Speed? The graphics and vehicle control is horrible. If they would have only spent as much time on the game itself as they did the introductory movie, then they might have something.

Do yourself a favor and buy Need for Speed instead of this complete piece of garbage.

Test Drive 6: Poorly Designed & Boring, An Adult Review

My hunch is that this is arcade game software that was rushed over to work on a Dreamcast. The problem is that one is not using the controls of a arcade game, but those of the DC controller. The cars are more than hypersensitive to the input controls of the toggle switch -- you can barely steer the cars. So, racing is only feasible between two players and even then it's more a matter of who gets into the fewest speed-slowing accidents. A frustrating, ultimately boring game. There are better racing games for DC. (HydroThunder, Star Wars I)

Terrible disappointment

Perhaps my expectations were too high for this game, but i wascrushed when i fired it up for the first time. Downfalls? here theyare... 1) The soundtrack is terrible. Silence is better than hearing fear factory sing about cars. 2) The menu setup is meager. Not a big deal, but it didn't add to my enjoyment of the game. 3) The graphics. Sure, they are better than on other systems, but they do not even touch those in speed devils. The cars look totally unrealistic. 4) As mentioned in an earlier review, the sound effects are embarassing. 5) Two player mode. impossible. For some reason Infogrames decided to go with a vertical screen split. You cannot imagine how hard this makes cornering. But on the upside you get to see plenty of sky everytime you run into an unseen obstacle. 6) Terrible car control. The cars dont feel attached to the road. The do not have realistic collisions, and they do not exhibit damage. 7) No rumble pack support. I could go on but i wont. Infogrames did a pitiful job on this game, as they did on slave zero. I will not consider purchasing any more games by Infogrames and I urge you not to either. If you just want to race, this game might do it. If you intend to play two player mode, or be impressed in any way look elsewhere.

Test Drive 6 is a wannabee Need for Speed

Test Drive graphics are ok but even after hitting the wall 100 times your car still looks shiny and new.The sound is great with very catchy music.The levels could be alot better designed and it looks a bit dense and shallow.Test Drive 6 has a pretty good car selection of hot rods but you should be able to modify your cars a bit more.The cop chase mode is pretty cool but you should be able to pick more police cars.The control is horrible and handling a Dodge Viper seems like a chore.After playing this a game a few times the fun just went dead.There should be more modes and I don't know if Test Drive 6 is a poor simulation racing game or a poor arcade racing game.If you want an arcade racing game buy Speed Devils or if you want a racing simulation game buy Tokyo Extreme Racer or wait for Sega Gt.I would not even recommend a rent ,trust me don't waist your time
