Guide Review - "TOCA Race Driver 2: The Ultimate Racing Simulator"
I think it's safe to say that in gamers like games that offer a variety of gameplay. "TOCA Race Driver 2" does just that. There is a range of cars in the game, the majority are made available through unlocking them. It does take to work your way through the races and unlock new cars. I feel this makes the game even more rewarding, instead of simply handing you everything the game has to offer.
There's nothing wrong with time trials and free racing, but I always find the career mode of sports games the most fun and interesting. It creates a 'I gotta get to the next level' feeling and makes you want to start the game whenever you have free time. The career mode storyline is not as smooth as it could be, but nevertheless, it does the job of moving you along from job to job.
