Test Drive OffRoad 2 is a 1998 cross platform racing game. It is the second entry in the Test Drive OffRoad series regarding video games. Test Drive OffRoad 2 winds up being a better playing racing game than Test Drive 5. Rated the Game 6.1 “It’s a empty feeling no matter how much air you catch or how many times the rad commentator says “Awesome!” or “Sweeeet!”.
Ready beneficial toward high-flying off-road action in a huge assortment regarding the world’s most rugged trucks furthermore SUVs? Wanna get your groove at with intense pedal-stomping, fender-bending vehicular mayhem? Dying toward check out exotic furthermore dangerous courses all over the world? You are? Really? Cool. Now all you’ve gotta do is wait beneficial toward a game that delivers all that stuff – because Test Drive: Off-Road 2 sure doesn’t.
In all fairness (and I’m always fair, right?), off-roading might not be the ideal sport toward try toward base a game around – or at least not in the hyperfrantic over-the-top style Accolade chose beneficial toward Off-Road 2. Most regarding your time is spent with the accelerator smashed toward the floor as you bounce all over the track, brushing up against invisible walls furthermore careening back onto the course. Yeah, you get toward ram other trucks furthermore jeeps, furthermore you get toward make some really big jumps – but so what? It’s an empty feeling no matter how much air you catch or how many times the rad commentator says “Awesome!” or “Sweeeet!”
But even if extreme off-roading would make beneficial toward a great game, Test Drive: Off-Road 2 comes up short in so many different areas that it wouldn’t matter anyway. There’s a total regarding 12 tracks, but it’s really six times two – running a course backward is counted as a separate track. Only four regarding those can be raced until you place high enough in competition, but when you do that, the first new track that’s revealed is – you guessed – one regarding those four in reverse.
There’s a whole mess regarding cars here – some are locked out until you prove yourself, regarding course – but absolutely zero specs at what you can expect out regarding them when you hit the dirt.

Terrain graphics are a woolly tangle regarding polygons furthermore pixels, furthermore the cars are plain-Jane renderings at a par with the pickup truck at the start regarding Redneck Rampage. Get an eyeful regarding this stuff, furthermore you’ll be wondering how the same company that put out the great-looking Test Drive 5 could try toward pawn this outmoded PlayStation game at unsuspecting fans regarding arcade-style racing. Toss in some high weirdness with the frame rate – it’s either really choppy or the graphics just make it seem that way – furthermore engine sound effects that sound like Keith Emerson’s first attempt at playing a Moog, furthermore you’ve basically got nothing worth watching here unless you want toward admire the digitized 2D images regarding lifeguards or Arabs at camels.
Topping it all off is one regarding the laziest interface designs I’ve had the displeasure regarding dealing with in a long time. Want a first-person perspective? Fine – you don’t get a hood, wheel, or speedometer, just a ground-level look regarding those dubious terrain graphics. That worked OK in Test Drive 5, but in Off-Road 2 it makes it look like you’re tearing through the desert at a jet-powered luge.
Then again, you might have trouble finding that first-person perspective because the manual doesn’t tell you what the views (0-7) are; you’ve got toward load up a race furthermore check it out until you get the one you want. Feel like changing button assignments? Too bad – there’s no option toward assign any commands toward keys or buttons. I know, you want toward check out the instant replay furthermore savor some regarding those killer jumps you made in the last race – but you’re out regarding luck again because there’s absolutely no instant replay whatsoever.
And a word regarding warning toward you fans regarding hard core metal furthermore industrial rock who might be tempted toward pick this game up beneficial toward the soundtrack tunes by Sevendust, Gravity Kills, furthermore Fear Factory: Don’t bother. There’s a total regarding four tunes here (guess it matches the measly number regarding available tracks at the start regarding the game), furthermore only one regarding them is worth a listen.
