    A ton of fun. [July 2002, p.88]
  2. The police pursuit ends way too quickly (only once was a roadblock encountered), but solid graphics and sound accelerate this game down the home stretch.
  3. Weak CPU AI through most of the game is what really holds Test Drive back from being a Ferrari amongst Xbox racing games.

    Might not be the deepest racing experience you'll ever have, but it's very satisfying. [August 2002, p.130]

    Sometimes you just want to drive. You want to jump into your car and jam on the accelerator. That’s Test Drive.
  6. The crashes and A.I. can lean more towards frustration during some races, so if you have a temper you may not wish to play Test Drive for too long.

The OSD, an interfering eyesore, prevents you from believing you are actually driving. This degrades it's final rating to a '5'. Full Review »
