Games Domain.com have posted their look at the Xbox version of the racing game of the year TOCA Pro Race Driver.
Right after 2D fighters, racing games currently seem to take the brunt of cracks about the shallowness of videogames. Even first-person shooters (which, God knows, can be bad enough) still seem to fare better overall in terms of play value. Racing games these days had best bring something new to the table. UK developer Codemasters has long been known for its nigh-unwavering, passionate attention to racing games of all kinds, but it's been argued that the human touch in racing games has been... lacking.
The PS2 version of Pro Race Driver combined a balanced fun/sim game engine with an actual storyline; while it's a bit late, the improved Xbox version ups its predecessor's gameplay and presentation values just a bit.
