CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
In its follow-up to 2003's Pro Race Driver, Codemasters stuck to its RPG/driving angle, offering racing challenges around the world that you must complete while building a professional racing career. The full version promises 31 "championship tracks," which are collections of specific racetracks and vehicles. The demo only offers three, each with one car: the Jaguar E-Type, the AMG Mercedes CLK, or the HRT Holden Commodore VY. We'll have to wait for the full version to test Career mode, but the demo races indicate the game's potential.
First off, gameplay is excellent. You set difficulty along a sliding scale, the driving controls are easy to learn, and the physics are realistic. As in any quality racing game, your success depends on taking the best lines and handling corners better than your opponents do. Damage modeling also is well designed. Pieces of your car that fall off remain on the track as future obstacles, and one egregious crash can knock you out of the race completely. You can customize all the important details, such as suspension, gear ratios, and brakes, and you can choose automatic, manual, or manual-with-clutch transmissions. Though we experienced stability issues that required a reinstall, the ToCA Race Driver 2 demo offers a tantalizing peek at a high-quality racing game.
Publisher's description

With more than 30 global championships, players can compete in events on 56 racing circuits from around the world.

Version: ToCA Race Driver 2: The Ultimate Racing Simulator demo
Pros: This sim is as close as you can get to real racing, with out getting killed. I tried the demo and bought the game.I have complted 67% of this great sim.
Note: if you don't understand how a race car preforms, or have no knowlege, this could be one tough game to master. But if you do know how to drift around corners, brake, and use the throttle to make your car competive, than this is THE ONE!
The replays are awsum! Cars look as real as the come.
Cons: In order to make game more popular a tutoral should be on the disk.
Also on reply info, such as speed and postion should be displayed!

Version: ToCA Race Driver 2: The Ultimate Racing Simulator demo
Pros: I downladed NFS: Most wanted and found the controls a little difficult so i tried TOCA. IT's awsome! maybe the graphics arn't as good and you do't get the police chases like NFS but to me it's worth buying this one instead. the gameplay makes up for it.
Cons: not amazing graphics, in the demo you can't configure your controls.
