Its great the first time through, but after you're done... you don't feel like playing it anymore. Wait for Forza Motorsport to come out.

I own both Toca Race Driver 1 and 2 and while both are great games, I have to say that TRD2 is that little bit better. What I particularly like is the fact that it's a mixture of Arcade and Sim, so you get to experience the best of both worlds. There are far more tracks and championships then there were in the original and the graphics and FMV have had a noticeable improvement.
However, there are some things which I found to be inferior to TRD1. Firstly, while the range of different driving championships has improved (e.g. off-road and supertruck racing) there are in fact fewer vehicles in the game (35 compared to 42 in the first one) Also, with the fine exception of Seat, European manufacturers such as Alfa Romeo, MG, Vauxhall and Saab have been replaced with mainly Ford and Ford owned companies, such as Jaguar and Aston Martin, although you do also have Mercedes and Audi.
While I do like these manufactuers, there isn't such a broad range of manufacturers as there was in the first game. Another drawback is the fact that in any one championship, there are only a maximum of 3 different types of cars. For example, in the Vintage Classic chamionship, you have the Ford Mustang '68, the Jaguar E-Type and the Aston Martin DB5. In TRD1, there were chamionships which had 6 different types of cars on the track at the same time.
However, all of these are relatively minor criticisms that can be easily overlooked once you start playing the game and having lots of fun. Just be aware that full installation is almost 4gigs.
Finally a good game May 2, 2004

I'm one of the leaders of a famous online racing team the eaoutlaws DOT com. We have already added this to our Supported games list. Its much improved over last years TRD or PRD. We think it will be in our line up for long long time.EAO Oldfart
this is not the one, I've had better January 20, 2006

1, if you start on full throttle, your speed will remain at around 18 MPH for about 5 seconds. the RPM is on red line and the car's going straightly but you gain no speed. this happens sometimes even when you start up with 2nd gear. how real huh?
2, if you crash into a spinning opponent at a high speed, your car will be totalled while that opponent can keep going like nothing happened. how fair!!
3, you are always placed waaaay behind your key opponents at the beginning of every race even if you came in first place at the previous one.
btw, i just finished 91% of the career mode using a computer keyboard. and I was really bothered by the facts i listed above.
and my suggestion is to buy Project Gotham Racing 2 on Xbox instead. PGR 2 is a far better game than this one. more tracks, more cars, better graphics and the most important thing is the game has no stupid flaws like this one.
for PGR 2, you don't have all the cars in the beginning, but you can have at least 2 in each class. It took me a lot of time to unlock ALL the cars in PGR 2, but unlike this one, I don't regret my time and my effort and my money.
