ToCA Race Driver 3
^ from: www.amazon.com - ToCA Race Driver 3 is the ultimate challenge in the ToCA Race Driver trilogy with its different disciplines and intense races.
ToCA Race Driver 3 is the ultimate challenge from the world of Codemasters and ToCA.
The story? If you were intrigued to stories in the first two ToCA Race Driver games, prepare to be disappointed with ToCA Race Driver 3. There is still a good deal of action that takes place. Really, the game focuses much less on stories and more on real racing.
Vehicles.
The mixed bag of racing machines come true again with ToCA Race Driver 3. Many of the machines are unique and capable. You can race sports cars, touring cars, go-karts, lawn mowers, stock cars, big rig trucks, rally raid vehicles, off-road buggies, monster trucks, and various formula race cars among many others. You even get to compete with a few real series such as DTM and V8 Supercars. The amount of vehicles are diverse.Some of the cars even have some elements to take into consideration. For example, the appeal of the Palmer Audi cars is that they allow you to have a few shots of extra horsepower on demand. You also have to learn how to handle machines such as the monster trucks.
Unlike the previous two ToCA Race Driver games, you can actually upgrade certain vehicles in ToCA Race Driver 3. Each upgrade allows you to gain somewhat of an edge against opposing cars. You can select from upgrading certain slots or have the mechanic auto-select upgrades for you. Or, you can choose to do away with upgrades and try to win with the machine you are offered.
Locations.
ToCA Race Driver 3 features a handful of different tracks ranging from low-level circuits to world-class racing facilities. Tarmac and non-tarmac action can be had in this game across this game's different disciplines of action. Temporary courses and off-road courses are also part of the deal. There are many locations to test your racing skill in ToCA Race Driver 3. Races can only be run either under dry conditions or rainy conditions. There are no preferences towards races at sunset.There are a handful of real world locations you can visit. Courses new to the ToCA Race Driver series include Ireland's Mondello Park and the Bahrain International Circuit in Bahrain. There are fictional courses that are run by the likes of the go-karts and even the different off-road racing series. There is even one location with three proper rally stages.
Races and Championships.
You will be racing a more concentrated series of races unlike the other two ToCA Race Driver games. Here is a look at each of the disciplines:• Vintage - race with older race cars. Since they lack modern performance, racing these machines requires great care.
• GT - race with powerful and capable GT racing machines.
• Touring - fierce racing with closely-matched, mostly production-based racing machines.
• Oval - consistent high-speed racing with powerful and fast racing machines.
• Open-Wheel - compete in agile, yet fragile single-seat formula race cars.
• Off-Road - compete in various races in off-road settings, even including some tarmac races.
• Palmer Experience - compete in events as part of the Jonathan Palmer Expeirence.
• Honda - these are various races utilizing various Honda products and racing machines powered by Honda.
Various series even have different rules you must adhere to if you want to avoid being disqualified. Just like in ToCA Race Driver 2, some championships in ToCA Race Driver 3 have realistic sets of rules you can enable if you please. Acquiring Cups in different racing series will allow you to unlock the Bonus championships. Your success in World Tour mode will help you to unlock more championships.
Races and Championships: Special Considerations.
I noted a few different things with the vehicles. There are more considerations to consider. Some championships have classes to them. You only need to be concerned with vehicles in your class if you want to win.Now on to some Final Thoughts.
ToCA Race Driver 3: Final Thoughts
ToCA Race Driver 3 offers the most intense ToCA Race Driver experience of the three games. While it is very realistic and unforgiving, I personally don't find it too much fun often times. It still will keep you busy and test your racing skill in so many ways. This game may be a disappointment if you are expecting an interesting story line. The greater focus on racing in general is surely a reason to stick around and play this game from start to finish. The amount of detail and attention to detail does not disappoint in the least sense. So you will be competing valiantly against a host of opposition in many different races and disciplines. Prepare to hunker down- you're going to be racing for quite a while if you want to unlock everything! The racing may not be as loose, but for what it is, it is a very well done game well worth your time.
Come and get this game for the PlayStation 2 (also available for other platforms)!
That's it for the ToCA Race Driver series featured here on "John's Race Space!" I'm glad you could be a part of this experience. I must bid you farewell in the meanwhile. Thank you for reading! Take care and be well.
