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.

Reception

David Chen reviewed the PlayStation 2 version of the game for Next Generation, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "It's more a morsel than a meal, but it's perfect as a three-day rental."[7]

Top Gear: Dare Devil received "mixed or average" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[2] GameSpot's Ryan Davis wrote that "There is a good deal of potential here, but Top Gear Dare Devil's deeply flawed physics engine, lack of gameplay variations, and frame rate issues keep it in the shadow of Crazy Taxi and make it a game that you should avoid."[6] IGN also gave low marks, saying that the game is "an acquired taste and is something that should be rented first before you decide to pick it up."[1]
