Test Drive 4: Speed Syndicate (2000) (PC/PS1/Dreamcast/N64/Game Boy Color/PS2)

Test Drive 4: Speed Syndicate is a racing video game developed by Mojang Tokyo and published by Mojang Dallas for PlayStation, Microsoft Windows, Sega Dreamcast, Nintendo 64, Nintendo Gameboy Color & PS2 in November 2000. It offers 20 supercars and muscle cars, and tasks the player with beating computer opponents in tracks set in real life locales. The game's tracks are long courses with rural roads and urban streets, and commonly feature traffic and short corners. The player has to arrive at each checkpoint (a banner with text such as "Stage 1" or "Stage 2") before the Checkpoint Timer expires, resulting in additional time, and crossing the finish line is required to complete the race. Test Drive 4's commercial success briefly made Test Drive the best selling racing franchise, but the game received mixed reviews. In 2002 the game was republished under the Greatest Hits label after selling 850,000 copies within one year of its release.
== Gameplay ==
Test Drive 4 offers 20 supercars and muscle cars, and tasks the player with beating computer opponents in tracks set in ten real life locales: Long Beach, Nassau, Caracas, Athens, Palermo, Tokyo, Exeter, Eindhoven, Las Vegas and Hong Kong; the PS2 version adds a 11th & 12th location: Sydney & Nice. The game's tracks are long courses with rural roads and urban streets, and commonly feature traffic and short corners. The player has to arrive at each checkpoint (a banner with text such as "Stage 1" or "Stage 2") before the Checkpoint Timer expires, resulting in additional time, and crossing the finish line is required to complete the race. The police car can chase and stop a player who exceeds the speed limit; to counter this, the player either stops in front of the police car or outruns it. Only a few vehicles are available to the player from the outset, with the rest needing to be won or purchased as the game progresses.
In singleplayer, the player can participate in a Single Race, a Cup, or a Drag Race. The game also offers multiplayer; the Windows version of the game has three Network Options: serial, modem, and LAN, while the PlayStation 2 version supports the PlayStation Link Cable.
