It's a smooth, sexy sampler of every driving type and terrain imaginable--from open-wheel racing to rally to big rigs in Africa no foolin'.
Online or offline, it's much more diverse and organic than the sterile Gotham or redundant RalliSport, though not as deep as either. Details like the turbos whining as they spooled volumes of boost through my Skyline's engine until I let up to a satisfying chuff from the blow-off valve, as well as keen physics--exaggerated just a touch to make the skids, flips, and spectacular piece-by-piece damage more dynamic--sucked me right in. It's a great title for beginners and seasoned vets looking for a not-too-serious commitment.
I found the linear progression pretty limiting--I couldn't stray much from the beaten path--but nothing else really turned up to crash my TOCA party. Sorry, folks, but here's yet another Xbox racer you may have to buy this year. It's fair to say we've seen more than our fair share of driving games here at PC. So much so that at the beginning of each review it is traditional - if not compulsory -to casually bemoan the surfeit of automotive entertainment on the PC.
To be honest, we can barely muster a half-hearted shrug of despair as another Off-Road Formula One Street Racing Rally game drops onto the mat with hollow promises of being the greatest thing on four wheels.
However, when that game comes from genre specialist Codemasters and claims to feature the most motorsports ever to appear in a single title, we are prepared to listen. Throw in the heritage of the long-running TOCA series and we've already got the kettle on. 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.
Do you want to know what they are? Essentially a different set of variables plugged into the same game engine, the majority of the vehicles on offer provide a superb drive, although the rally cars do suffer in comparison to Colin McRae, despite the pace notes being read by stalwart Nicky Grist.
As for the Super Trucks, we've made our position dear before: if driving a lorry was any fun we'd all be eating Vbrkies and using CB radio. A massive project, TOCA Race Driver 2 dwarfs most other driving games, including last year's original story-based affair. Annoying American Ryan McKane has been jettisoned - in Codemasters' own words they "sacked him off" - to be replaced by none other than your good self.
With all the story sequences presented from a first-person view, you are the star of the show, although you appear to be playing a mute unless you're prepared to take interactive entertainment to the extreme and chip in with your own dialogue. The idea of a narrative-based driving game is one that initially had purists reeling in disgust, but we quite like it.
If nothing else it offers some incentive to continue, even if the reward is little more than a second clip of people talking in a caravan. Such footage appears intermittently throughout the core single-player game, which sees you setting out as a raw young buck with plenty of potential but without a pot to piss in, the idea being to move up the ranks and finally compete in the Masters Grand Prix.
The concept of a career mode initially had us imagining full race weekends, gruelling qualifying sessions and lengthy races. Admittedly you can set these up off-menu, but the career mode essentially consists of a series of mini-challenges, with races often clocking in at no more than two laps apiece.
And as for the idea of being able to choose your career path using all the available vehicle types, this is also bogus. Screenshots from MobyGames.
Cam 0 point. Nice game. Running this on Linux Mint Also have wine-staging 6. Crashed once after about 2 hours of continuous play but restarted and it runs well. Just mount the ISO for installation and running the game. Toca Race Driver 3 Demo 3. Go Go Gourmet 3. Leave a review. This is embarrassing Try this instead.
