TOCA Race Driver 3
1 von 1 finden das hilfreich I had been looking for this particular game for a couple of months when I fould it on e-Bay (no surprise). It has been worth the wait.
Anyone familiar with this series knows how it goes — a career mode that consists of a ladder of series in many different race cars on countless tracks. Some of the tracks are real, some are fictional, but most are well designed. In the ladder series you are placed in a specific car for each series, but I have yet to run into a car that couldn't compete. Through most of the career mode you must place in the top three or four in one of three different disiplines (sp?) to open the next rung of the ladder.
In addition there are free race and qualifying modes for tracks and cars that have been opened up in the ladder series. This is where you can try different cars in the series you have opened.
Available cars run the complete gamut - from lawn mowers (available in the unlockable Honda mode) to Formula One racers. Tracks range from dirt ovals, stadium dirt courses and rally tracks to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and some fast European road courses.
The racing is fun and challenging, particularly with a not so unique feature called the "Reset Button" where if you wreck or fall behind you just start over. Controls are intuative and what you would expect from a racing game.
I am not a hardcore gamer - rather I'm an adult who likes to relax after work with a couple of rounds on the X-Box. I also do not consider myself particular good at games - probably a 3 or 4 on a scale of 10 - but I have fun with the game. I do well enough to stay interested and am challenged enough not to get bored.
This is one of the best racing games available for the X-Box.

Fun build; Decent parts donor set
This was a set I had looked at since it was released. It was easy to assemble - took a couple of hours - and the cars look great! I've always liked the look of the Mini Coopers, and the 1967 car in particular fuels the nostalgia. The simple working suspension on the 2018 John Cooper Works model is an added bonus.
And I was really happy with the set as a parts donor for a couple of other projects I am working on.
