Test Drive Off Road 3

Description

No Roads, No Rules! The World's Most Powerful Off-Road Vehicles in The World's Most Incredible Environments. Drive the mighty Hummer 27 licensed vehicles with upgrades 2-player split-screen 11 real-world tracksAmazon.com Ready for the ride of your life? Test Drive Off-Road 3 offers a rugged ride through the riverbeds of Vermont, the ruins of the Yucatan, and the grassy hills of Yosemite. Getting there is half the fun, as you maneuver in the driver's seat of some of the toughest and manliest four-by-fours, such as Dodge Rams and Hummers. Dirt will fly, trees will fall, and (yes!) cars will even flip over as you hit speeds nearing 80 mph. Look out for those trains, bridges, houses, or any other solid object that gets in the way of your fun. This game takes full advantage of the vibration function from the dual shock controller as your vehicle hits every bump. This sort of reckless off-road adventure is something that most of us will never experience in real life, which raises the entertainment value tremendously of this "go anywhere, do anything" driving game. You can race track-by-track solo, or with a friend in split-screen mode. There's also the world tour, which allows you to save your racing progress as you advance through a circuit of races. If you place high enough, secret tracks will be revealed. You can also choose your viewing angle on each race, which is accompanied by thrashing rock music from the likes of Blink 182, Eve 6, Girls Against Boys, and Incubus. --Carrie BellPros:No roads, no rulesGreat rock soundtrackCons:No multiplayer support (more than 2 players)Some car control isn't very precise Product description No Roads, No Rules!

While the actual racing can be quite fun, the game lacks the intensity that made games like Need for Speed and Wipeout XL thrilling. All the features of a great racing title are here in some form, but without edge-of-the-seat challenge, robbing the game of any long-term play value. The vehicles in Test Drive: Off-Road are based on real 4x4s: the Jeep Wrangler, the Hummer, the Land Rover Defender 90, and a Chevy K1500 Z71 Truck. Six bonus vehicles grace the title: a monster truck, dune buggy, stock car, hot rod, mini cooper, and an off-road beetle. Whether or not the realistic details matter is a point of contention, but each vehicle has slight differences in handling and acceleration that you will notice. Gladly, there are no "suck" vehicles in the bunch - each plays well, and once each is mastered you'll be able to finish first with ease. Three types of terrain make up the twelve courses in TDOR: dirt, sand, and snow. Although they all look different, you'll find that your truck handles roughly the same way from track to track. As you progress, the courses get more treacherous, pitting you against miles of rolling hills, jagged rocks, and even launch-pad jumps. You'll find your vehicle riding on two wheels, spinning out of control, or sliding on its roof more often than you'd probably like. If there's one major problem with the tracks, it's that it's far too easy to lose your way, miss a checkpoint, and fall right out of contention. Oddly enough, a good strategy for winning is to hang back and follow the leader (to keep you on course), then blow past him as the finish line comes into view. (Running second for most of the race beats getting lost in the trees). Test Drive Off-Road's graphics are relatively strong. All the vehicles bear close resemblance to their real-life models and the textured terrain is quite detailed - even though its "drawn" as you progress. This "pop-up" dramatically reduces the game's speed (you won't feel like you're going as fast once you notice it). It would also be cool
