Test Drive 6 (Windows)
This one sucks too!
The Good
I didn't spend my money on it.
The Bad
Everything:
-The game is too slow, its go, wait, go, wait, go, wait, go, wait
-The AI sucks
-Your car still seems to be like a boat
-The AI cars are still stupid
-You still can't drive anywhere, only on the track, unlike TD3.
I could go on...
The Bottom Line
The previous games, like The Duel: Test Drive II and Test Drive III: The Passion are much better.
However, TD3 is programmed badly and does not run properly on fast PCs even if slowed down.

Test Drive 4 (Windows)
It sucks
The Good
You can listen to the techno music on a stereo, since its CD audio.
Nice graphics.
The Bad
Everything. The controls are bad. The AI is bad. Everything is bad!
-You can only drive on the tracks. But in the previous game, you could drive anywhere, including off-road.
-Theres no damage.
-The other cars are very hard to beat sometimes, and they are like they have a pre-written plan, instead of reacting to whats happening NOW.
-Your car is more like a hovercraft than a car, and does not feel at all like you're driving a car.
-When you are doing well, the other cars ram into you as if you don't exist and its harder to win then, as if it wasn't already hard to win.
-It makes you really mad when you get all the way to the finish line and a car rams you from behind since it does not know you exist and you lose the race.
The Bottom Line
It sucks, plain and simple. The previous game, Test Drive III is much better, althrough it runs way too fast and does not run properly even if slowed down on a fast PC.
Maybe download the demo, to see how bad a racing game can be, or just to see the look at the graphics.
Otherwise, don't go near it!
The Need for Speed games are much better, but I have already mastered NFS3.
