Chose to go straight into career. Saw that disturbing video of the crash. I only got offered one test Drive at the start but thankfully it was at an easy Brands Hatch course. Well, beat the test drive time by 18 seconds. Started up the race, and oh my God. Every car is faster than me. One little skid and you go down to last place with no chance of getting anywhere near the points. Really annoyed, so spend the entire second race driving around the track in reverse crashing into the cars and making them all boogered. Eventually retire after my car can only go in a straight line at 18 mph. Play through Silverstone, start 3rd so decide to play sensibly. The sun is so bright I can't see the track and within 12 seconds I'm 14th with all the other cars at the other side of the track. Really utterly annoyed so i decide to go on a violent rampage in this race. This results in me being 6th at the end of he first lap with little cars in sight behind or in front of me. At last a point. By the end of the 3rd lap I'm 1st. I finish in this position but realise that the bloody game hadn't told me it was a mandatory pit stop race and I come 14th again. Put everything into the last 2 races and coe 7th then 14th. Finish 13th overall in the championship. Break down and cry.
At this point in time I hate the game.
I just started a new championship thing with Alfa Romeo in an all Alfa season. It's good now as all cars are even yet the top 5 still seem to get miles ahead of everyone else. I'm on the third race of that now, I finished 5th and 6th and it's getting much more enjoyable.
View: Starts rubbish, but picks up later.
Score so far: 6/10 - A bit too tough and frustrating to be truly enjoyable.
View: Starts crap, but
I have always loved toca. I was a few years younger when the first one came out. my cousin had it, we started to play "Tig" or "Tag" and it was a luagh. And with a bench mark for handling and body damage at the time, it made it that much sweeter.
As I explained to a guy on MSN earlier. The concept was to tag your opponent by the slightest touch or by the hugest smash.
That was fun and it kinda caught on with all my other mates when ToCA2 Touring Cars was released. With new benchmarks set once again and the addition of a two player season it was a classic 'must own' PS1 game and still is.
I never ever played World Touring CArs for some very odd reason. I only noticed this when I heard about Toca Race Diver, heh.
...::The Most Amazing Game Of Tag Ever!::...
Setup: PS2, 4 PS2 Controllers, 4 Mates(who preferably bring some beer), a multitap and a copy of ToCA Race Driver.
How: When you get the game, dont tell anyone or they will try to knock down your door right away. Play one player for a wee bit to unlock a sweet MINI COOPER, CHEVORLET, MITSIBUSHI LANCER, etc. Then pick multiplayer, stick in the multitap.
By this time your mates will be bored of trying to kick your door down and will have bought beer. Get them to your house and pick a good looking car.
Explain the concept of "Tag" and there you have it. You may never have so much fun ever again in a racing game, ever! I swear. debris everywhere. Or how about having a 4-way "chicken" event.
ToCA... oh the possibilities
