Rage Racer had three tracks, and you kicked up a right old fuss. 'More tracks' you demanded. Test Drive 4 has five tracks, each with four stages, making each track longer than the M25! You can race your car through the UK, San Francisco, Switzerland, Japan and Washington D.C. All those miles should keep you going for a bit!

Bet you love thrashing your mates at two-player split-screen racers, laughing as you finish first! Test Drive 4 can't be arsed with a split-screen mode. It's got a Duel mode where you have to play one after the other, on one joypad. The winner is the one with the quickest time. What a cop out.

You get a choice of some 17 cars to race with here. Some are real fanny magnets, like the Jaguar and some are racing numbers, like the Dodge Viper. Some are just Starsky and Hutch rejects, like the 70's Chevy!
