Test Drive 4 is the fourth installment of the racing game, in which the greatest importance is attached to the realistic way of driving. As a result, players initially focus their attention on the best possible mastery of individual machines with different driving styles. Police patrols along the routes are an additional obstacle. Catching a player in the act of hot deed results in the loss of valuable seconds. The players have at their disposal several cars divided into two categories: modern (including Dodge Viper and Jaguar XJ220) and historical (including Plymouth Hemi Barracuda and Shelby Cobra).
We test our skills in six cities: Keswick, San Francisco, Bern, Munich, Kyoto and Washington. For each of these locations, the creators have prepared two routes, the second of which is initially unavailable, and in order to unlock it, it is necessary to win the first variant.
In the single player mode, a number of gameplay options have been prepared. The Challenge Cup is a type of championship in which the final victory is determined by the total driving time on all routes. In the Championship Cup we score points for the positions at the finish line and the competitor with the biggest pool in the final classification becomes the champion. In addition to these two modes, Test Drive 4 features the Pitbull Cup, Masters Cup and Drag Race. In the latter we race against one rival on a straight track, and the key to taking first place is the ability to change gears properly.
For lovers of competition with other players there is a multiplayer mode that allows you to fight a duel with your friends via LAN.
The visuals of the game Test Drive 4 presents a high level and supports 3D graphics accelerators. Each of the available locations is distinguished by a different style. In Bern, for example, we pass through mountain passes and tunnels, and in the United States, we pass through a built-up capital. The player can use several different camera settings at any time. The soundtrack consists of 28 tracks in techno climates.
