TOCA Race Driver 2 (PC)

...Fully Championship - All Toca Cars are available to race Support Car Championship - Only two cars available as others are locked until you get a certain amount of points.A good idea except I cannot win with either the Fiesta or Formula Ford and therefore still waiting for a drive in the Lister!!! Other games include:- Challenge race, Single race, Time trial, a Network game or a Test Track. Cars - Championship ---------------------------- Ford ...
...easiest to handle is the Mondeo (If only they drove as exciting as this in really life!!). Its a smooth drive, that takes corners at speed well and for me its the machine I can win the most with. Honda Accord - This car sounds by far the most sporty and therefore to me the most sexiest. If you accelerate too fast when you are leaving a corner you will find the backend wobbles so it becomes very hard to keep it going in a straight line, unless you ...

Review of TOCA Race Driver 2 (PC)

...and the game reflects that. TOCA 2 is set during one of the BTCC’s stronger periods with many entries from manufactures such as Volvo, Ford, Vauxhall, Peugeot, Nissan and more. You take your pick for the car you want and can then set off for a championship featuring pre and post race commentary from Top Gears Tiff Needell! Although should you not fancy a championship you can have a single race or a time trial, each with a few variations such ...
...I’ve actually been to, but TOCA includes a whole bunch of UK circuits as well as 10 mysterious bonus tracks, one of which is a street race in America! Track realism is pretty good, although some things have changed due to the games age – for example, last time I went I sat in a grandstand at Maggots and when I was blasting round it in my Formula Ford I was a bit surprised to see it’s not there. So surprised in fact I managed to ...

Review of TOCA Race Driver 2 (PC)

I decided i should write another Review/Opinion on this game, as i have just re-installed it on my pc, and just realised how much i missed it (sighs). WHen you have installed it and start the game, you come to the Main Menu. I know there is a intro, but to be honest, i have never watched intros on any game, i know i am probably missing out, but i just want to play the game :). So you are at the main menu, and you can now decide how to setup the ...
...see how good your computer is, and set it up accordingly, the better the game, the higher resolution of the graphics, and the better looking and faster the game will become. So you have setup your graphics, and now it is time to set up the controller you are going to use. I would reccomend a Sidewinder as this has just about enough buttons to make the most of the Options you can have, such as looking to the left, and to the right, choosing the buttons ...

Review of TOCA Race Driver 2 (PC)

...RAC British Touring Car Championship, TOCA 2 features full licensing from the BTTC and several of the works teams that compete in this prestigious series. Hammering a four-door Volvo sedan around some soaking wet English circuit may not seem terribly glamorous, but the intense competition and enormous factory support the series receives from major European and Japanese automakers has made it almost as popular in Britain as NASCAR is here in the U.S. ...
...As with its parent game, TOCA 2 emphasizes on-track action over technical racecraft, so you won't find any complex garage menus or detailed telemetry screens here. The physics modeling for each of the cars is fairly unsophisticated and does a somewhat poor job of simulating front-wheel drive vehicle dynamics. Although the game does model brake lock-ups quite convincingly, the absence of any proper understeer response can make the cars extremely touchy ...

Review of TOCA Race Driver 2 (PC)

"TOCA 2" is without doubt a highly impressive game in many respects. It makes many signifiant improvements over its' predecessor, particularly in terms of graphics and immediate playability. However it is not without its' faults, which are sadly too numerous to merit giving it a top mark. The main problem is that the game is too easy. I'm not trying to be boastful or anything, but compared to other racing games (Such as "Colin McRae Rally" by the ...
...One Grand Prix 2" by Microprose) it is too straightforward to sail through on any difficulty level. The reasons for this are twofold: Firstly, there appears to be no option allowing Championship mode to be played with races at real-life length. Considering the developers have gone to the extent of replicating the new-for-'98 'feature race' pit-stop system, having races that are less than half the length they should be is bizarre. Secondly, the much-touted ...

...Codemasters tried something different with Toca 1 and now they’ve improved on it in TOCA 2. This sequel is basically the same as the original but it is still worth buying. The graphics are much improved and if you have a reasonably modern machine you can run it in 1280 with no problems or slowdowns. The sound isn’t much different but still good and the gameplay is improved. Races are now more difficult, there’s more options, the handling is better, ...
...more tracks and many, many more options. They have the full championship, time attacks, a test track, single races and support cars. The support cars basically gives you another set of games, with single-seaters, TVRs, Jags, Fiestas etc… You can race championships in all of these, giving you one of the biggest racing games in history. The one thing that is kept is the semi-arcade quality. Codemasters have applied a simulation feel to the game, but ...

Toca two offers Hi-res graphics, remodelled tracks, easy controls and real visual damage. The game is fantastic as there are a variety of tracks and cars to chose from. Also there is a two player option with is excellent. Included in the games is superb sound like explosions and the smashing of glass. Also there are multiple difficulty levels in the game. Overall the game is very original and will keep you entertained for a long time. In Toca 2 ...

Another mode is support car championship were you race in different types of cars e.g. TVRs. In a single race you can chooses the circuit you race at and the car you race in. The last mode is time trial where you see how fast you can go round the circuits. ...

I was expecting the same array of championships, cars etc but was surprised by the amount that would be on offer, over 31 championships ranging from the prestigious DTM touring car championships which has the reputation of being the best touring ...

...earth are you not playing TOCA 2. Super fast racing 3 abredth the track at 150pmh seeing who hits whom in the corner. Nudging bumping and haranguing the other drivers is standard practice. In fact it is a must for success. Throw your car around the corners and have super realistic grip on your car - once you start to lose grip you are pretty much f****d. Contains all the data from the 1998 BTTC season you can race as your favourite driver and chose ...
...trials, support car championships (not the standard touring cars you see on the telly). However the main point of the game is to take part in the actual championship. This can be done as a short or full mode (full mode is not as it would suggest - just longer than short). Laps in each race differs depending on the size of the circuit. You race at all circuits at least once. The bad side of this is that you must gain 15 points in each 2-race event ...

OK you have TOCA why would you buy TOCA 2? It does firstly update you into the 1998 series which was a fiercely competitive one featuring the Renault Lagunas of Menu and Plato, the Volvo S40 of Rydell as well as the Honda Accord of James Thompson and the new emerging Primeras. Like the original game the playing screen shows you which lap your on and how many to go, it shows how far you are behind the car in front and agead of the one behind, your ...
...for the best effect. TOCA 2 does also give you the chance to race in the single seater support race as well as the TOCA championship itself or a single race or round a test track. You can play with 2 or 4 drivers also in a split screen arrangement. How successful this runs depends on the speed of system but I would think most newer systems will be OK . We’ve got 700mb and that’s easily OK for 2 drivers at once. You can set up your car ...

I had a graphics card problem and had uninstalled TOCA2 for a while. I re-installed it yesterday and realised how much I had missed the sheer thrill of trying to keep your car on the track while still hammering around to get the fatest time or win a race. If you get one wheel on the grass, you are in trouble. If you haven't driven round with smoke coming out of the front of the car, you haven't been trying hard enough. This is still a cracking ...
...in the game, although the time trials can be just as much fun. Lots of different vehicles and they all respond differently. This is not a game for the foot flat down and steer merchants. You have to drive the courses with a brain or you will greet the barriers or the gravel trap very quickly. Bit annoying that if t you break too hard on the racing line you will get shunted and they don't try to avoid you at all . The new championship is supposed ...

There is no racing game as realistic as this is, you can't just bom round the tracks, take short-cuts and expect drivers not to pay you back for sending them off the track on the last corner. In the game, as proffesional drivers do, you must brake in straight lines and pick the right tyres for the conditions. The Weather is so realistic in this game, and you cant get away with bombing round the circuits in wet weather on slicks. The car's headlights ...
...wash the water from the windscreen Codemasters have retained their official Touring Car licence for this sequal to the original, which means the game boasts every driver, car and team from the 1998 Championship, along with the new rules and regulations (sprint races, feature races, pit stops and so on). The cars are all idividual, for instance the Audi A4 handles well and has a reasonable top speed, yet the Honda doesn't handle quite as well, but ...

...They're responsible for the orginal TOCA and Colin McRae rally. As a fan of the BTCC (british touring car championship) I didn't think too long about buying this game. You get all the teams, all the cars and all the tracks (with several more hidden tracks and cars which are unlocked as you progress through the game). They obviously spent alot of time getting this game right and it really shows. The cars handle superbly and the various little touches ...
...time making this game and it really shows throughout from the moment the intro movie starts until you've spent a whole year of you life experiencing every last detail in the game! If you like driving games that are a bit more realistic then this is definitely one to go for. But it's fun too so don't let that put you off, there's nothing better than doing 130mph and clipping other cars just to see them go flying off the track.... Remember this is ...

You can race Formula Fords and Ford Fiestas and a few more which adds to the life of the game. A great game with many features. The sound is fantastic and at only £15 it is well worth the money.

I was hugely excited when this game came out, after enjoying the original so much. And like the original, this game comes with the tangent from the original type of driving game with a storyline to follow alongside the gameplay itself. Although a good idea at first impressions, it was a good idea, the original game's storyline focused not on you, but Ryan McCane, a wingy American driver. However, this time, you are spoken to directly in 2, which ...
...does seem to make you a rather quiet character though! There is an impressive array of cars to choose from, although many of them have to be opened up through the championship and free races. What became worryingly evident from the offset was when I would switch the game on, and my percentage completion was climbing rapidly, whereas I felt that what I had done had been really quite easy. The last few races do become slighter harder, but still no ...
