Verdict on test drive 4

Why do some of these games companies still not know how to build in adequate controller support Test Drive 4 is another example of programmers who don't know the difference between a PC and a Playstation. Apart from poor controller support (No support for joystick B and no controller customization) the game itself is not too bad. I am running the native 3dfx glide version so the graphics look mighty good and the framerates are smooth on my P233mmx system. However, if you have a 3dfx card and are looking for the best product in this category then look no further than NFS2-SE from Electronic Arts. This latest incarnation is absolutely perfect in every way. Nothing can touch it. Trust me on this one. Cheers John Cookson (Canada)

Well, id HSF2SE had openended tracks like NFS; and cops, like NFS; and wasn't a basic pretty rehash of NFS2, I'd more than likely buy it.. As for now, I'm happy with my original NFS..

Unless you own a 3DFX card, you won't get much from buying NFS2SE.

i agree totally. NFS2 really sucks compared to NFS1. btw, what are traffic cars (very few of them btw) doing on closed circuit courses in nfs2? as for test drive 4, it's pretty weak: pathetic controller support, the music is turned back on each time you launch even after you disable it, and the controller defaults back to a gamepad each time you launch it. what kind of loser plays racing games with a gamepad? what a shame after licensing some very classic cars. Accolade has desecrated some of America's finest automobiles in this horrid game. for a better racing experience you might want to try one of these: nfs1, motoracer, nascar2, gp2, and monster truck madness.

I would like to say, that some people out there don't have the money to blow on some stupid wheel to make it feel more realistic. The gamepad works just fine. I am not a loser just because I don't have a wheel, and I could probally beat you with my gamepad. Don't be so ignorant.
