TOCA Race Driver 3 was released in Europe and North America on February 24, 2006. The game features several fully licenced championships, including the DTM series and V8 Supercar championship.
It includes 120 Championships and 35 Types of Racing through the Championship in World Tour, Pro Career, and Free Race. Also it has Bonus Championships in different disciplines. They take place largely in the UK and Germany, though many more tracks are unlocked by winning cups in Pro Career, or by setting a lap time record on a course within Pro Career mode. Open wheel, GT, Oval racing, Rallying and Off-road racing were all featured, and can be raced in either a detailed Pro Career mode or an open-ended World Tour.
Online play allows 12 and 8 players on Xbox and PlayStation 2, respectively. Currently, it is the only racing simulator for PlayStation 2 with an online racing mode. It received good reviews, frequently being compared favorably to Gran Turismo 4 and Forza Motorsport, in the aspects of cars on track, damage and AI.Show more

TOCA Race Driver 3, a game that marked my childhood, is much more than just a simple racing simulator. Its realism, variety of modes, and the sense of immersion it offered made it an unforgettable experience. From the exciting touring car races to the challenging rallies, each mode presented a unique and thrilling world.
The feeling of speed behind the wheel of a DTM car at Hockenheim, the precision required in the rally stages in Finland, or the adrenaline of the GT races at Donington Park, all felt authentic and vibrant. The graphics, for the time, were impressive, and the sound of the engines made you feel like you were inside the car.
But what truly made TOCA Race Driver 3 special was its career mode. The story of Ryan McKane, a driver fighting his way up in the world of motorsports, completely captivated me. Every race, every victory, and every defeat felt personal.
TOCA Race Driver 3 not only taught me about cars and racing but also instilled values such as perseverance, dedication, and the spirit of overcoming challenges. It's a game that I will always remember fondly, and that left an indelible mark on me.
Played as a little kid, but wasn't good at it. (Still have the DVD) Today as F1 and motorsport fan one of the best old motorsport racing games out there. Just the variety of classes and the ability to drive with controller or wheel amazes me till today. Sadly, there is no official digital version available, which is why I would really like to have it in the GOG store.
This is my favourite career mode of any racing game to ever exist. Working your way up through the disciplines feels amazing, along with the variety of vehicles and the actual motorsport based setting.
Sadly, due to a lack of digital versions of the game and a DRM that causes some issues, it's quite difficult to play in modern times. It would be great to see it available again.
Twisted MetalTwisted Metal consists of a series of arena-based battles against an increasing number of opponents in increasingly large arenas. These battles culminate in a face-off with the winner of the previous year's competition, Darkside, who drives a large armored car which fires multiple missiles at once.
Players can choose one of 12 different vehicles with which to enter combat. Each vehicle has a distinct driver and special move. The controls consist of accelerator, brake, "tight turn" (essentially a handbrake) and turbo on the face buttons, with main weapons and machine gun selection and control on the shoulder buttons.
Arenas are populated with weapon pickups to re-supply missile stocks, repair stations for repairing damage to your car, pedestrians, and course stewards armed with either machine guns or missile launchers.Action Thriller Survival

The prologue begins with the player driving in a Nissan Skyline R34 in Olympic City (though the racing scenes are actually in Bayview), the setting of NFS:UG. He then receives a race challenge from a rather ominous personality who offers him a spot on his crew, but "won't take 'no' for an answer." The player races off — despite Samantha's warnings — only to be ambushed by a mysterious driver in a rage that totals his Skyline. The driver, who has a unique scythe tattoo, makes a call confirming the accident, and the flashback fades out.Trending Action

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08The game incorporates the FedExCup championship format (a collection of tournaments) with rounds of golf at Westchester Country Club, TPC Boston, Cog Hill, and East Lake. The putt preview has been improved, allowing the player to simulate the ball's path once per individual spot, taking into accounts elements such as power, speed and elevation. On the Xbox 360 and the PS3, shots are not performed using the analog stick, but with the 3-point timed principle for start, power and accuracy. Shot Confidence is a new addition, keeping track of the player's performance on certain courses, for specific puts and using certain clubs. Great performances raise the confidence, which translates into experience and better performance on specific courses. Low confidence leads to lower accuracy, a pumping heartbeat, and rumbling controls on the Wii.
On the Wii, players can shake the controls to taunt the opponents with 4 different moves, to throw them off. It can be used to influence air conditions, spin, or adds audio distractions. The controls are available in 3 modes: Full Swing (wii remote), Sitting Swing (new, waggle the wii remote) or the classic controls using the nunchuck for analog play. In Full Swing, twisting the wii remote adds hooks and slices prior to shots. Also exclusive to the Wii is a Miniputt mode.
