Not very good compared to the Test Drive Le mans from Infogrames. This "Goodtimes Interactive" needs to learn how to make a decent Le mans sim. If yo want a VERY VERY VERY GOOD Le mans sim, check out the Dreamcast verion, which is frankly the only good le mans sime out there. Infogrames did a horrid job porting it to ps2. Blech! The one fer DC is perfect, and one of the best racers ever made. You should checo out my review for it. :)

I saw this game, and since I am a fan of Le Mans racing, I took the plunge. I had played test drive 6 for Game Boy color and it [stunk], but I had hope for this version of the test drive series. For the most part, this is a great game. I like the realism of the racing, It feels a little more real as far as speed than GT2. The steering is good and the tracks are fast and challenging. I also like the 24 hour mode. The cars are cool and I like the brake assist and traction control options. Overall, if you like racing games, you need this one in your collection. For a relatively low key game, Test Drive Le Mans stands up well to Grand Turismo 2.

Anyone who has played the GT/GT2/GT3 will think the animation/AI is horrible on this game. The cars are fairly well modeled (for a PS1 game), but the steering, braking, and handling leaves much to be desired. It would have been nice to see more real manufacturer's cars. The lack of an in-car view is really unforgiveable. And I agree with the reviewer who disliked the size of the Le Mans circuit. It really is a joke - Le Mans is a huge course. Part of the challenge is driving for a long time. You don't get this feeling of distance, even if you play for hours and hours. You just get sick going 'round and 'round the tiny track. This is really just a glorified arcade game, not something that truly reflects endurance racing. Frankly I expected more from Infogrames, considering their rally sims. GT or the Jarrett/Labonte stock car game are better sports car sims than this game. But there are a lot of fans of LMP type cars that are still waiting for a decent PSX title to buy.
