3.0 out of 5 stars
I prefer the term "sedate", August 12, 2001
This review is from: Top Gear Dare Devil (Video Game)
Honestly, this is a well-made game, rock solid gameplay, interesting intro, quality graphics, easy premise, but eventually you'll have to PLAY the game, and that's about the time that you'll be nodding off.
It's similar to Crazy Taxi in that you have a certain amount of time to complete your task (collecting coins) and you get points for creatively slamming into other cars and various scenery. The cars handle like Midnight Club, which means "not that well" but eventually you will learn to simply brake going into the corners.
The rest of the reviewers are right when they say there isn't a lot of slam-bang action and stunts. It's basically puttering around town collecting coins, clocks to extend your time, and nitro boosts. 4 different cities, multiple objectives within those cities, a bunch of different smaller cars, and that's the entire story.
If you aren't expecting much, it's a winner.

Look elsewhere for speed and fun, May 29, 2002
This review is from: Top Gear Dare Devil (Video Game)
This was the 2nd PS2 game I'd purchased, and I bought it because it looked fun on the back. Unfortunately, it was incredibly boring and I haven't bothered with it much since the first day of getting it home. You start off with ONE car (though they boast of 20 something you can choose from), and it has no speed or handling whatsoever. You do have a free-roam choice so you can scope out the town, but even that becomes tedious after a while. With nothing to do but hit other cars or the occasional outdoor table and chairs, the game gets boring. Fortunately, I purchased Spy Hunter later so I could get a really good driving game. If you have a choice of driving games, then avoid this one at all costs...if someone gives it to you as a gift...well, just trade it in on a good game.

I rented this game because they didn't have atv and i wanted a 2 player racing game. The graphics are average but the controls and the objectives are the worst i have ever seen in a video game. I swear the car absolutely will not turn until you're almost at a wall and by then its too late. If you try to brake and turn your car comes to a complete halt. And all you did is drive around and get coins. WHOOOPEEE!!!!!
