TD Overdrive: The Brotherhood of Speed

Overview

TD Overdrive: The Brotherhood of Speed (released in North America as Test Drive) is a racing video game developed by Pitbull Syndicate and published by Infogrames for PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Windows.

Like its previous incarnations, TD Overdrive focuses on illegal street racing, dodging traffic, and evading the police. It also features real-life locations for its tracks: San Francisco, Tokyo, London, and Monte Carlo. A fully playable version of Pong is included in the loading screens. Cars from General Motors make a return after being absent from Test Drive 6. The returning cars may be the same models, though they belong to the same generation and could represent different model years.

The game was initially announced on 16 March 2001, with a planned release in the fall for the PlayStation 2. On 24 April, Infogrames announced that the title would also be released on the Xbox, featuring graphical enhancements over the PS2 version.

Test Drive received "mixed or average reviews" on all platforms as reported by the review aggregation website Metacritic.
