Test Drive 4 Gameplay By First Werawat
0Test Drive 4 is a racing game developed by Pitbull Syndicate and published by Accolade for PlayStation and Microsoft Windows in 1997. It offers 14 supercars and muscle cars, and tasks the player with beating computer opponents in tracks set in real life locales. The game's tracks are long courses with rural roads and urban streets, and commonly feature traffic and short corners. The player has to arrive at each checkpoint (a banner with text such as "Stage 1" or "Stage 2") before the Checkpoint Timer expires, resulting in additional time, and crossing the finish line is required to complete the race. Test Drive 4's commercial success briefly made Test Drive the best selling racing franchise, but the game received mixed reviews. In 1999 the game was republished under the Greatest Hits label after selling 850,000 copies within one year of its release
Gameplay
Test Drive 4 offers 14 supercars and muscle cars, and tasks the player with beating computer opponents in tracks set in five real life locales: Keswick, Cumbria, San Francisco, Bern, Kyoto, and Washington, D.C.;[1] the Windows version adds a sixth location: Munich. The game's tracks are long courses with rural roads and urban streets, and commonly feature traffic and short corners. The player has to arrive at each checkpoint (a banner with text such as "Stage 1" or "Stage 2") before the Checkpoint Timer expires, resulting in additional time, and crossing the finish line is required to complete the race. The police car can chase and stop a player who exceeds the speed limit; to counter this, the player either stops in front of the police car or outruns it. Only a few vehicles are available to the player from the outset, with the rest needing to be won or purchased as the game progresses.[2]
In singleplayer, the player can participate in a Single Race, a Cup, or a Drag Race. The game also offers multiplayer; the Windows version of the game has three Network Options: serial, modem, and LAN,[2] while the PlayStation version supports the PlayStation Link Cable.
The advantages of this game are Drag Race mode, you can choose your own car and choose an AI opponent car. You can play Cup mode to collect points to unlock cars. But the disadvantage of this game is that the driving physics is not very good. This game is easy to drive, harder than Need For Speed. The car spins easily. You can't customize the car, you can't change the car color, and you can't tune the car. Most of the cars are American sports cars, British sports cars, and Japanese sports cars. There is only Nissan. The car design lines are not beautiful in this game. This game's competitor is Need For Speed II. If compared to Need For Speed II, Need For Speed II can adjust the driving physics. In Need For Speed II can choose the car color, tune the car, and tell the history of the car model. Most of the cars in NeedFor Speed II are European and American supercars. But this game focuses on American, British, and Japanese sports cars. There is only Nissan brand. Need For Speed will compete in Circuit mode, while Test Drive will compete in an open field. If between these two games, I like Need For Speed more than Test Drive because Need For Speed is easier to play, you can change the car color and tune the car, and the driving physics are better than Test Drive.
As for the cars used in the game, in Championship Mode I use the Nissan 300ZX Z32 because it replaces my dream car, the Honda NSX, which isn't in the game. It replaces the Jaguar XJ220, which loses control easily and spins easily because of the MR car. If I force myself to use the Jaguar XJ220, I might waste time, so I use the Nissan 300ZX Z32 instead because the FR car is easier to drive, with a 6-cylinder engine and a fierce, aggressive, and exciting sound. It's my second favorite car in Test Drive 5, after the Jaguar XJ220.
For Drag Race, I choose the Jaguar XJ220 because the 6-cylinder engine sounds fierce and exciting. It's another one of my dream cars. I like the sound of the Jaguar V6 engine because it sounds fierce and exciting. The Jaguar XJ220 is the car in Test Drive 5 that I like the most. For the AI Drag competitors, I choose the Nissan 300ZX Z32 because the 6-cylinder engine sounds fierce and exciting. The Nissan 300ZX Z32 is the car in Test Drive 5 that I like the second most. I like it after the Jaguar XJ220.
