The massive scope of the content, both cars and tracks, makes this an awesome opportunity for racers to sample a bit of all racing genres.
-
Computer Games MagazineThe best game in the series and one of the best pure driving games you can play on the PC. [Aug 2004, p.60]
-
It strikes a near-perfect balance between painstaking realism and flat-out fun.
-
Make no mistake: this is the big one, in every sense. No less than 15 different disciplines are melded together via an extensive career path, each brimming with Codemasters' trademark high production values and attention to detail.
-
Brilliant voice acting, top notch graphics and solid driving physics make this a must-own, despite several flaws.
-
The game basically forces you to drive better without being unfair and your rivals put up quite a fight, but you won't feel frustrated. And that's quite an achievement considering there are up to 21 cars on a track at once.
-
Describing it as the "Ultimate Racing Simulator" is perhaps a little too enthusiastic, but it's a damn good game anyway, and more than worth the bargain-bucket price tag.
-
A true sequel, but more of an '04 update, ToCA Race Driver 2 takes what we liked about the previous game and adds new cars, new tracks, improved gameplay and better visuals.
-
Edge MagazineMuch of the attraction is largely due to the variety of racing on offer, but it's the overall quality of that racing that is responsible for ensuring Race Driver 2 remains an intensely engaging ride. [May 2004, p.102]
-
The multiple ways to approach TOCA 2 are undeniably fun. And it’s really very impressive that Codemasters was able to pack so many different kinds of racing into one game.
-
A great racing title that offers some serious improvements to the existing Toca series.
-
Depth, detail and cars galore, but lacking the spark to be truly essential.
-
A deep and enjoyable racing title with more racing variety than you're likely to find anywhere else on the market today--and at a meager price tag to boot.
-
PC GamerSimulation purists will have issues with the game's "faked" vehicle physics, overly forgiving damage model, and rigidly structured Career mode, but ToCA Race Driver 2 offers more than enough high-speed thrills to rope in even the most demanding PC racing fans. [July 2004, p.71]
-
games(TM)Toca 2 lacks the ambition and verve found elsewhere in the genre... Uneventful jaunts down the middle of the road just don't excite us anymore. [May 2004, p.102]

Nov 20, 2019A fun to play racing game back in 2004, with great graphics and sound design of car engines.
Championship mode was very challenging and rewarding. -
