Test Drive

Main menu

Game mode select

Location selection. You can race in San Francisco, London, Monte Carlo, or Tokyo.

Car selection. My dream car Shelby Series 1 is unlockable later on in the game.

You can play around with preset colour schemes or make up your own.

The race begins!

The first of many wipeouts

Worst - Lensflare - Ever...

Unlike other racing games you can actually go through these barriers. But wander too far and you'll be disqualified.

Yes, there are pedestrians. No, you can't hit them.

This replay shot shows how I had that earlier accident. Isn't that a good catch?

That can't be good for the transmission.

As with other Test Drive games there's really floaty traffic cars.

Night racing

Your headlights actually illuminate the race track and if you want you can turn them off.

Drag racing mode

Boy I hope that truck sees me coming!

Now this is the San Fran I'm talking about!

Hey kids, where's uncle Jesse?

Shameless self promotion?

Here's the Navigation Challenge outcome.

Selecting your cop car in San Francisco.

The way to catch them is to hit them with your car.

Almost caught that last one!

I got 'em all!

Later on you can unlock some awesome cop cars and chase recklessly around London and all the other cities of the game.

In the "Underground" mode you'll start your adventure by helping out this guy.

Ah Japan, feels like I'm in Akira!

Another trademark of Test Drive games, completely indestructible opponent cars who drive like they know their cars are invincible.

One good thing about this game is the minimal default HUD.

The camera controls are pretty limited, there's no dash camera but at least you get a nose cam.

Running around the tunnels of Monte Carlo.

I was a little disappointed with how bland the scenery was. Here's another great shot of the insane opponents and their murderous driving technique.

There's something you don't always see in a racing game.

The police of each city are naturally in theme with their surroundings. Sadly they all share the awfully sampled siren noise which could possibly be the worst I've ever heard in a game.
