OHH MY GOODNESS this is by far the best game I have ever played. With possibly the best graphics for any dreamcast game and definetly the most the fun. This game is a must for anybody who loves racing games or doesn't. The best feature has to be the "all unit al's" the active police force that try's to bring you down for your wild driving antics. With some of the most breathtakingly realistic courses and cars this game is the besat sega has to offer. I have playaed Segas other racing games and this is by far better than any of them. Buy It!

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

Worst game ever!

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!

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.

THIS GAME IS AWESOME

I've had the last two Test Drives on the playstation, so I'm able to actually compare those to TD6, and let me tell you, there is no comparison. The graphics are so smooth it's unreal, no choppiness, just solid racing. And the cities, just wait till you see these, I just want to watch someone else race so I can look at the scenery. There are so many changes like the upgrade mode on your car that I keep making arrests and taking the challenges just to earn the money to upgrade my car. You won't be sorry, take my word for it. I waited for this one for a while and it was so worth it. THIS IS A MUST HAVE FOR ANY DREAMCAST OWNER.

Decent, if slightly unpolished racer

While Test Drive 6 does have a fair amount of fun, it really doesn't seem like it was very polished. There's very noticable decrease in framerate and shortcuts in the physics when it starts really pushing the hardware (for instance, a lamppost that would have stopped you in your tracks otherwise has no effect on your path).

Also, the steering is irritatingly sensitive. Without suspension/tires upgrades, you tend to slide all over the place, but if you upgrade, the steering becomes ridiculous. You can attempt to compensate by changing your playing style and using the ability to adjust braking for understeer, but it's still an inadequate solution.

That said, this is still a fun and attractive racer, it just lacks the special something to really engage me.

PITIFULL.

I have been a fan of the testdrive series, and this is a discrase! The control is horrible, the AI is weak, the graphics are blocky and sad! It looks like playstation graphics! HUGE blocks every where, pop up golore!

Like a bad horror flick sequel, Test Drive just won't go away. Maybe they should've waited more than a few months after #5 to rush this one out. This one looks bad for a Playstation Test Drive, which it basically is. Someone forgot to clearcoat the opponents cars. The framerate drops into a wormhole and catches up with you later down the road when your car crashes. Some of the cars look like they were designed from memory. Ford F-150 pickups catch-up to Ford Mustangs. In police chase mode the tickets you write linger over 80% of the screen while your car continues into the wall you can't see. These problems aside, its OK as an arcade-style racer, but not a simulation as the name implies. The courses are good, until you start racing the same ones backward, and the architectual flavor of the world-wide cities are attempted with some success. With the standard control its a little easier than some other Dreamcast racing games, though visually stuck at the starting line. This is a racing game to pass the time until Sega GT or Metropolis Speed Racer take the checkered flag. Hopefully they take this game to the pit and check the engine before number seven.

Boring.........

I got this game not to long ago and I already have gotten tired of it. It's a good game in all, but it's just too boring after a while. A word of advice: Dont play it for hours a day, play about an hour a day, or you'll soon get bored of it. It dosen't have a big selection of tracks and the music gets boring after a while. The other bad thing about it is that they made it way too easy, even if you put it on hard. BUT they have great cars, graphics and it's pretty realistic. I say you should rent it and see if you like it, if you do, buy it.

great game, bad sound

i wasnt sure what game i would want for christmas. i knew i wanted a racing game. i didnt want sega rally 2 because im not into 2 minute races and no depth. im glad i went with test drive 6. the graphics are what i expected from the dreamcast. but it would have been nice if they were a little better. the control took a while to get right. i had to adjust the suspension on all my cars so they would turn good enough. but once i got them right, i couldnt lose, but it was still challenging. the only big problem i found was the sound. the effects werent realistic at all, they seemed a little sparse too.
