ABOUT TEST DRIVE 4

Test Drive 4 takes to the streets of a high performance racing game where the player has the capability of racing various types of cars, such as the Jaguar XJ 220, Dodge Viper Shelby Cobra 427, '69 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 and many more, across six exotic tracks, such as San Francisco, Keswick England and many more.

Test Drive 4 has a great sound track; however, Test Drive 4 can be extremely frustrating when the user finds the difficulty of racing the cars and getting pulled over by the police; this really becomes frustrating when all of the above is only occurring to you and not the computer racers.

ABOUT TEST DRIVE 5

Test Drive is back in Test Drive 5 with a total of 28 cars, new and old, from the predecessors, which still contains all of the major issues that Test Drive 4 had, such as cops pulling you over and not the computer players, opposing computer cars still handle better than yours and the computer players are capable of overcoming wrecks faster than you can and then be able to catch up to you even faster.

Test Drive offers a new feature that allows you to be the cop and chase these speed daemons throughout traffic. Although an interesting twist to the game, the player will soon become bored with this new feature as to give the opposing car a ticket, the player simply bumps the car with its car. In addition, the user is required to hold down a button to have the siren on the police car sound. 

ABOUT TEST DRIVE 6

Test Drive is back with Test Drive 6, in this edition of racing game the player is brought back the racing excitement. If you have enjoyed the previous versions of Test Drive, you will enjoy this game.

The game depicts the real life city streets; however, the game contains several graphic issues. Unlike its predecessors, Test Drive takes a new approach in racing which makes the player buy more advanced cars instead of simply giving that player the cars.
