Top Gear Dare Devil drops you behind the wheel in sprawling recreations of Rome, London, Tokyo and San Francisco, where traffic laws are merely suggestions. Instead of chasing a finish line, each stage hands you a time limit and a city full of collectible coins tucked down side streets, across plazas and atop ramps. Learning the shortcuts is half the fun, as you weave through oncoming cars, smash through scenery and launch off jumps to grab every last pickup before the clock runs dry. Clearing levels unlocks new vehicles, from nimble compacts to heavier machines that handle very differently, plus fresh challenges in each location. Fast, arcade-styled and refreshingly free-roaming for an early PlayStation 2 release, it is a fun slice of turn-of-the-millennium driving chaos that rewards exploration as much as raw speed.
