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.

Jet Set Radio HDJet Set Radio HD is the latest remaster in a string of Dreamcast "hits" to see new life on download platforms, but Sega has been insistent that they've learned its lessons. The publisher has emphasized how hard it's trying to get things right this time, and for many, it couldn't have chosen a better game.
Jet Set Radio was part of Sega's onslaught of new properties with an emphasis on flash and style during the second wave of Dreamcast software, but it might be one of the more obscure. It's a game that almost everyone has heard of, but I think few have actually played. This was remedied somewhat with 2002's Xbox sequel Jet Set Radio Future. Unlike Sonic Adventure or the arcade hit Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio HD is the chance for many to finally play a game they've only heard about.
Nostalgia has the side effect of high expectations though, and Jet Set Radio HD just can't meet them. While the flash and style of Jet Set Radio HD remains untouched and unvarnished by a dozen years of progress, the rest of it can't stand up to scrutiny. Squirrely controls, camera catastrophes, and nonsensical level design make Jet Set Radio HD a better memory than game.Action
