Test Drive is all about unlocking fast cars and then unleashing them on the streets at mach speeds. [July 2002, p.80]

Certainly an improvement considering how bad some of those earlier games were -- but yet Test Drive really has a ways to go before it will ever reach the status of a "Triple-A" racing title.

For short spurts Test Drive is pure racing joy. As you whiz your car in and out of traffic you feel like a god on his chariot, but unfortunately too often you come crashing back to earth after hitting something or having something hit you.

Amusing.

You’ll pay the price for the presentation in, on average, about 30 second load times the first time you get to a level, but you get to play Pong while you wait, so who’s counting?

What’s great about this game is that it includes vehicles to suit the tastes of every type of motorhead out there.

Awesome story mode, beautiful graphics, and Pong-what's not to like? [July 2002, p.82]

While the title of greatest racer ever is still secure with bigger names like "Gran Turismo 3" and "World Rally Championship," this Test Drive could still be the best in the series so far.

Could have been a better racer had the framerate not stopped at key points in the game and also if the game had a little more replay value.

Looks good and sounds great, but in a racing game to have the sensation of speed constantly interrupted is very damaging.
