This is one of the best games ever, the only real problem is the one of music and the poor graphics. If we talk abot simulation though we can find one of the best games in the whole world. this game is realy worth buying. It is a must!

The cars rock and getting chased by the police is cool.
If you have games like Midnight Club or Project Gothom Racing.
You would want to buy this one. The game has cars like the Dodge Viper, Lotus, and Jaguar. Buy it.

This game is kool

I think this is one hell of a racing game, It rocks it's a must have.

If you value your money skip this game!

This game was just pure [junk]! Touchy controls, no sense of winning, everything is the same over and over, you can lose or win in a matter of seconds, boring interface and the list can keep going on. I would give it no stars if I was allowed! If you want a good racer pick up "Project Gotham Racing". Much better feel of control overall, better cars, better design, it's just a better game. To make this quick, if you value fifty bucks don't waste it on "Test Drive" it really is that bad!

The must have racing game for the XBox!

This game is cool and fun! The cars whip through the tracks at high speeds with oncoming and same direction traffic....with collisions around every turn. The player car has a good feel of physics while it's driving and is realistic...but has that good balance of not-to-realistic that can become frustrating in other racing games (ahem *cough*grandturismo3*cough*). The tracks themselves are varied and cool looking with all the Xbox flare you might expect like global lighting, shelf shading objects and nice enviornment mapping. The tracks have also lots of jumps in various spots that give you more time as a bonus...making it sometimes manditory that you hit those jumps! Being chased by the police is a must in the Test Drive series....at they're in this one alright. Bumping you, knocking you....anything to pull you over.

Overall, this game is way cool and a must have for racing fans and anyone with an Xbox.

Total arcade action... if you like that sort of thing.

The things you love about Test Drive and hate about Test Drive run in a dead heat. The action is fast and furious, the streets flashing by in a 100 mph plus blur is a bit of a rush but ultimately there really isn't much to look at, no check that, there's a lot to look at but there really isn't much to see that we haven't already seen in say... Crazy Taxi. Frame rates are solid but the landscapes are anemic and flat, the cars don't fare much better, feeling a tad on the jagged side with muted paint jobs and reflections. The sound is horrible, with some effects missing altogether, when you pile into a lamp post at break neck speed, there is no sound of crumpled steel, just an odd silence. Which brings us to a another major disappointment, car damage, like the sounds of destruction, there is none, not so much as a scratch or paint chip, no twisted fenders or one single dented bumper, which in the end makes Test Drive feel unfinished to say the least. On the up side however Test Drives levels are large and teaming with traffic and peds, the sense of speed is very nice and the controls are comfortable and easy to acclimate yourself to and the Cop Chase mode is a hoot but in the end there are better and much prettier examples of driving games out there, simulation; Project Gothem, arcade; see Wreckless and for a little of both we'll just have to wait and see how Midtown Madness 3 fares. You wont love test drive but you wont hate it so if you're looking for something different to drive around on your X Box this weekend (that's arcade style crash 'em up fun) rent it and save your money for something useful... like say, a cute poster of a kitty.

Better than Project Gotham

I'm a huge fan of games like this. You go flying through a crowded city at 150 and on the verge of flying out of control. Think of it as Fast and the Furious in game form. It's got a decent story line, is able to play your own music, decent graphics, and good controls. The biggest bonus is the variety of cars. Everything from a Plymouth Barracuda Hemi to a Dodge Viper to a Dodge Charger. They're all here. I'm very satisfied with this game. The only bad thing is that there's too much light in my family room to be able to play night races during the day.

This game does NOT have HDTV support !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone considering buying this game because they thought it supported HDTV as has been written about it ... may want to reconsider before they purchase. This game only supports 480p like ALL other XBOX games.

This game is fun and entertaing, for a while that is.. Its graphics to start, arent the best, but they arent the worst. The car models are pretty good. But where in the hell is the car damage, XBOX should have car damage. The towns you drive through look pretty good, and the story behind is not as bad as i thought. But the races are good, but after a while, it gets repetitive, you drive through the same city 10 times, its just in diferant parts, and its not that hard to win. It goes along good, you get differant kinds of races like pink slips and linear and circut. The Bad thing is in pink slip is, if you lose, your outa the job, NO, pink slip meens u lose your car, you should just lose your car and not your carreer.

so hear are the pros and cons.

Pros-1.Not bad graphics
2. Very enternaing for a while.
3. Lots to do.
4. Awesome cars, for muscle car lovers.
5. Good underground story.
6. Love the charachters u race with in the underground.

Cons-1. No car damage

2.Gets repetitive.
3. Pink slips-take the car-not the career
4. In underground u race through the same city, its annoying.
5. NOt enough corses in cop chase.
6. Could be alot better

So, to conclusion, this game is a deffinant rent...
