toco race driver 2

What did everyone think of toca race driver 2? I personally thought it was a good game.

I liked it, but never found a fix for a graphics glitch on my system. It seemed that during a race, I could not see the opposing cars if I had mirrors activated -- only the shadows of those cars on the racetrack. (IMHO racing without mirrors was out of the question). Changing vid drivers (to an older version) fixed the problem for me, but in turn caused weird graphic anomolies in GPL. Given the choice between Toca and GPL, GPL won out. BTW -- my vidcard is a Radeon 9700 Pro under WinXP. TRD2 was the only sim that ever exhibited this problem on my system. If anyone has discovered vidcard drivers for this card that work well with both GPL and TOCA, I'd be interested in hearing about it. But in terms of game play, I really liked it. I thought the sense of speed and tracks were excellent. Physics weren't bad either. Greg Cafferty wrote: > What did everyone think of toca race driver 2? I personally thought it > was a good game.

I totally agree. Some cars are very fun to drive (I personnaly like the Vintage Classic), but some other are very very very bad, like Rally cars and winged car that don't feel like winged cars...

But after finishing it, it just didn't have the legs to keep me going. So, back to PGR2 and even GT3 (not much PC simming lately). Give me a PC game of the GT3 format but with real tracks like the ones in Toca2 and some decent AI.

Only six cars to race against and the physics are complete arcade. Bah! Sorry, but GT3 ain't all that and I'm sick of PS2 fanbois claiming it is.

Good game for sure. Some races were better than others (Rally stunk) but overall fun pseudo-sim romp with decent story to keep you going. Greg Cafferty wrote: > What did everyone think of toca race driver 2? I personally thought it > was a good game.

I bought it after seeing some amazing scenes on a TV game review show, but the controls always felt -- to me anyway -- like I was supposed to be using a control pad rather than a wheel & pedals. So I never really got any satisfaction from the driving. Mind you, racing round Bathurst was a new experience. That's a hell of a roller coaster ride! Andrew McP

Your post says YES. Tell me again, what is so great about GT3? Um, it's got lots of cars to drive? Weak reason to call it a great game. And I have played it on a PS2. Kiddy fare.

Did you try it with a wheel?
