Gameplay

This game consists of single-player and multiplayer. In single-player, the player drives around one of four cities, Rome, London, Tokyo and San Francisco - collecting Dare Devil Coins. If all Coins in a level are collected, the player unlocks a secret car. What also can be collected are keys and wrenches that open up bonus missions. After winning a bonus mission, the player can unlock a paint job for the car used.

The player can also free roam around cities.

Reception

Top Gear: Dare Devil received "mixed or average" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. [3] Ryan Davis of GameSpot was critical to the game's physics engine, lack of gameplay variations, and frame rate issues. [9] IGN also gave low marks and considered more as a rental game, [1] a sentiment in which NextGen 's David Chen also agreed. [10] In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 24 out of 40. [6] Four-Eyed Dragon of GamePro said that the game with its problematic physics and gameplay will provide the players an "unforgiving" headache. [13] [b]
