I have Testdrive Overdrive and Max Payne (Xbox) would like to swap for other Xbox titles.
I would really like Priosoner of War, Moto GP but other titles will be considered.

TD Overdrive is exciting and addictive – no doubt like the real deal. You come up against members of the exclusive Underground club in each race and you’ll get to learn the tricks and trades of each of your opponents in between their video-link taunts. Get far enough and you can even challenge them for their wheels. As you burn it around the city streets you need to be wary of corners (not so easy at night), your competitors that will ram you every now and again, any chasing police cars and particularly the traffic – which flows with, against and across your route. Car physics and handling are perhaps not exactly realistic making this a more arcade style racer, and at times being spun around and losing position from hitting a car you couldn’t see is infuriating. However, the will to get back up and try again (to a thumping soundtrack) is what makes this a thoroughly addictive and decent racer.
Is Test Drive really as bad as the reviews claim? Be honest.
