Play Test Drive 2001 Online

Summary

Test Drive 2001 lets you pick from 13 licensed sports cars – from a sleek Lotus Elise to a snarling 1985 Ford Mustang – and tweak each ride to suit your style before tearing through 48 tracks spread across 12 real‑world locations. The courses are peppered with jumps, hidden shortcuts and traffic that can ram you off the line, so learning every curve feels like a mini‑puzzle. Beyond a single‑race sprint, the game offers a Tournament ladder and a high‑octane Cop Chase where you chase down speeders, plus a link‑cable mode that lets friends race head‑to‑head. The handling feels tighter than its predecessor, Test Drive 6, and the multiplayer was even highlighted as a standout feature. Critics noted that Test Drive 2001 was the final Game Boy Color entry in the series and the last on any Nintendo hardware, a fact that adds a nostalgic weight. Reviewers praised the tiny but charming details – the Hollywood sign in the Los Angeles stage and Mardi Gras décor in New Orleans – while lamenting the modest speed and graphics. Still, its content depth and the quirky Cop Chase earned it a respectable 6/10 from IGN.
