Even more impressive than the vehicle list, however, is the list of available race types. The wide variety of cars range from simple compacts, to midsize sedans, to muscle cars, to big-time machines like school buses and ambulances. The action mode is a basic single- or multiplayer mode you can choose from any of the game's arenas, cars, and race types and get into a one- to seven-race series.
You have only two modes to choose from in the main menu: action and career. The official sport of the mullet haircut has found its way to the Xbox and PlayStation 2 in Test Drive: Eve of Destruction.įrom the moment you pop Eve of Destruction into your console, it's apparent that the developers weren't interested in gussying up the experience beyond its core elements. Unfortunately, some sluggish racing gameplay and a lack of any real depth beyond the game's offline multiplayer component and slightly taxing career mode mar the experience enough to prevent Eve of Destruction from living up to its potential. The game features a pretty insane roster of race types, ranging from simple no-rules car races to school bus and trailer races. Atari and Monster Games' Test Drive: Eve of Destruction is an earnest attempt to try to bring the old-school brand of demolition derby game back into the limelight-and it almost pulls it off. Ask yourself this question: Can you honestly remember the last time you enjoyed a real-life demolition derby, let alone a demolition derby video game? The derby itself has become antiquated, and as far as games go, tried-and-true demolition derby games have pretty much been outshined and outclassed in recent years by crash-happy racers like the Burnout series.
