Test Drive is all about unlocking fast cars and then unleashing them on the streets at mach speeds.

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.

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?

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?

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.

It's slick, colorful, challenging, well-rounded, has a soundtrack to die for and it allows you and a friend to waste more time playing "Pong" than either one would ever care to admit.

Test Drive needed this reboot, and the gritty, underground-racing angle isn’t bad; it just doesn’t feel as thrilling or daring as it should.

Most of the things that I like about it are overshadowed by the things that frustrate me.

It can be really exciting - or really frustrating. It all depends on whether luck is with you.

The radar detector and cop chases that the series introduced are back..., but other than that, there isn't a lot that sets this racer apart from the pack.
GameSpot

The problem is that it's far too arcadelike for its own good, and it really only lends itself to short amounts of time spent playing.

A very solid racing title that, if anything, ,is just a tad too short.
Game Revolution

A mixed bag of intense and exciting racing action which suffers terribly from a total lack of extras and is beset by weak collision physics, bad camera angles and crappy load times.
