TOCA Race Driver, the first of the TOCA racing series to feature on the PS2, screeches in with a whole new gameplay twist. The usual single race and multiplayer races, plus 38 tracks and 42 cars, are still here, but the real development is the story mode. You take on the part of young racer Ryan McKane, initially testing for a small racing team with the ultimate aim of becoming world champion; the result is a very immersive experience in which the player progresses with McKane, moving through simple races and on to the cut and thrust of the worldwide circuit. Those familiar with the previous TOCA games will immediately notice that the car's handling has been made easier--a second spent off the track doesn't end up in those frustrating spins. However, the more arcade-like style of handling may lead to fans of more hardcore racing games being a touch disappointed. Graphically the game is great, although a 60Hz mode should have been included. Damage, scenery and all the other cars whiz around the courses with little or no slowdown. All in all, TOCA Race Driver is a superb racing game mixed with a new innovative style of game progression that produces much entertainment and excitement. --Laurent S Hall

After playing the TTCC on the PS1 i had high hopes for this game on the PS2, especially in the story format it was set in. How wrong could i be!,i was extremely disappointed, i found that the graphics were poor and the game play was as bad as some of the old Commodore 64 games.
You can get so much better games for the PS2 now, my advice is don't waste your money on this rubbish. The only thing it is good for is using as a door stop or frisbee for your dog.

This is a decent game, but could have been extended so much more from the superb Toca World Touring Cars on the PS1. The game features 13 licensed championships including Toca Tour, DTM, and Pacific series, and loads of cars, many of which can be unlocked. The racing is of a good standard, with up to 14 cars on track. The graphics are good, especially on some of the tracks, but some of the cars do look a bit sketchy in places. The overall gameplay is reasonably good, but the thing that really makes the game is the career. You are Ryan McKane (a complete tw@t, ahem) trying to work your way up through the ranks and emulate your brother and your father, who died 15 years ago in an accident. Of course it was no accident, and you obviously come face to face with the man responsible. The story is good and well drafted, with good depth. The cut scenes are nice touches too.
Overall a good game, with a superb story. Shame about the main charecter, who many have grown to loathe. 8/10
Brilliant, but could improve grapics November 29, 2004
This game is one of the classic future games - you have so much to do on it! The gameplay is difficult but not impossible and you have say that the grapics are the only thing that really could improve - but I'm out for fun - not a serious gamer!
Good game that can spend a lot of tiime on - just what I need!
Toca Race Driver - Good game for the money - first time I saw it was at my friend's house and from that moment on I knew I had to get it!
Fantastic - just try and ignore the grapics!
The cars are also good - Nissan Skyline is really cool but when it says that you can drive the Subaru Impreza - don't get your hopes up - it's the 1998 spec car and I only like the 2001 - 2003 model and the 2003 onwards models but if you don't like Imprezas - then this is a great chance to smash up one - like my friend decided to do!
Buy it!

Having completed TOCA 2 on PS1, this game was initially a let down. However, its a decent racer. Initially, it seemed quite tough until I worked out that you cannot steer at the same time as you brake. Master this and the games a cinch.The game progress structure is good and the underlying storyline does give a sense of some involvement. The graphics and sound are a bit dated now. Rememer to do the challenges as you progress, you'll need to have won a few when you eventually make it to the Elite Championship as you can only race with the cars you've won. In essence this game is World Touring Cars for PS2. A worthwhile blast if you are into racing and unfortunately the only thing on PS2 that resembles the BTCC.
 GREAT GAME May 18, 2004

This game is crazy. it is really realisitc and the AI is fantastic. The game is based on a story - you are a race driver who is fighting to prove himself, and to beat his brother whom he dislikes for some reason. The story can get annoying but all you have to do is press X to skip the scenes. OK the graphics arent the best but that isnt what makes a great game. The cars just feel so real and the races are always so close. Unfortuneataly i am selling my PS2 and i will definately miss this game. If you like racing games the buy this!
