Thread: Toca Race Driver 3

I haven't played this yet, but was looking for a V8 supercars game and an F1 game for the US market. I found that Toca 3 has a 2005 Williams BMW F1 car and the Holden V8 as well as a Dallara Indy car. I may rent this bad boy and see what it's all about. Anyone else have game time on this one?


(I think we touched on this game in other threads but I figured I'd start one for it)

Me!

It's not a killer game by any means but the Formula Fords are ace to drive. I wouldn't pay full price for it now but in a bargain bin it's, well... a bargain.

Plenty of racing to be had in a wide variety of classes.

I saw it was an old Xbox system game so I am going to look for it cheap. Maybe I'll rent first and see. I saw an rFactor mod for V8's too so I may have to fix up the PC.

How are the graphics/physics?

The physics are pretty ok if I remember correctly. Lots of car deformation during crashes etc. The driving is leaning towards arcade, but not crossing over to the silly (i.e. not the Sega Rally type). The graphics are pretty good for an Xbox game from that period.

Now, I didn't spend a massive amount of time on this game as I had plenty of others to test during that period but if you do find it cheap I wouldn't hesitate in picking it up. It won't change your world in any way but it will kill off a few hours easily.

A clip (from the PC version I guess) that shows the variety of cars and series.

That doesnt look to bad. I may have to get that one myself for my XBOX 360.

Ok(ish) graphics there, but the sounds are just horrible. Seems also pretty arcade game, not much driving sideways. Or then all the cars are fwd there.

Not sure it's compatible on the 360. I hate that MS did that to all the orig. Xbox owners. I mean how hard would it be to make all the games work, hell Halo (1) was the first xbox game ever and it works!!

I believe about all original XBOX games are compatible with the 360 if you have the hard drive on your 360 which I do. The IndyCar Series game is an original Xbox game and it works fine.

You believe wrong my friend. My buddies 360 that we had here has the HD and most of my old xbox games don't work. Your Indy 2005 does BUT the older Indy game won't work. You can see what games will work on the xbox site.
