Video Game Reviews of Test Drive: Eve of Destruction
Customer Review: A FANTASTIC RACING TITLE OF DESTRUCTION 9.25 OUT OF 10
Summary: 5 Stars
Test Drive could easily be one of my favorite racing games because there's nothing quite like the feeling of demolishing your enemies into nothing but a pile of smoking wreckage (especially with a bus as your weapon). This is a must-have racing title for Xbox owners because it is absolutely wonderful and awesome to play. Plus, I can't see why Atari has gone back to sim/racing gameplay with the Test Drive franchise instead of continuing this game's arcade gameplay of destruction.
WHAT THE GAME IS: Well, it's a racing game. You go through a career mode, get new cars if your own gets wrecked, earn money, and be the greatest. But, you don't have to do a career mode to unlock the extra content. You can just do the events which are amazingly fun, and are even better if you play with a friend. It's also easier to unlock things if you go there and win.
GRAPHICS: Look good for the time, and still hold well to this day. You mostly see dirt tracks because this game is all about demolition racing. Though, the car damage modeling seems a little shallow considering how good Driver 3's damage modeling looked.
MUSIC: A good selection of tracks to listen to, too bad you can't skip through songs you don't particularly care for.
SOUNDS: Vehicles crashing, metal twisting, cars scraping against walls, you know the basics in destructive racing.
GAMEPLAY: Works like it should most of the time, though I can't quite figure out why I have to press the B button if I want to reverse instead of L, but other than that it works almost perfectly. You can also adjust the driving view if you want to. Virtually everything is fantastic about this game. The flaw is the fact career mode can get a little tedious and difficult, but who cares this game is totally awesome!
OVERALL: Absolutely fantastic, there's hardly a flaw present you really should buy this game because it is well worth the investment, unless you like Xbox Live too much to enjoy games that don't have it, because this game does not have Live play. But there are so many events to challenge a friend to, so it doesn't matter if it has Live play or not because it's just too much fun.
THE GOOD: Hella fun racing destruction, awesome events, decent graphics, good soundtrack, a great selection of vehicles to unlock, a good career mode, and fun old-fashioned multiplayer.
THE BAD: No ability to skip through tracks, damage modeling is a little weak, career mode can be a little tedious and difficult.
