Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review: Based over 23 real-time tracks including Silverstone and Hockenheim ring TOCA World Touring Cars follows on from the ever popular TOCA series, but like every sequel the balance between getting it right or wrong is a thin line to drive down. Keep it too much like before and you get gamers complaining that your developers are being lazy. Change it too much and the cries of damaging the format and style we all love are abundant.
What Codemasters have managed to do is take a little bit from the past and a little from the future and created a game for the PlayStation that is worthy title for the send off of the console in its present format.
With Championship, Free Race, Time Trial and Quick Race, this game has everything you would come to expect from a racing game, yet it is the way in which this are executed that brings TOCA out from all the rest.
Graphically TOCA is one of the best racing games on the PlayStation. Imagine, if you will Gran Turismo 2, times that by ten and your starting to get there. Couple this with 14 cars simultaneously on the track racing with you at any one time and you start to get the picture of how involved this game is.
Also very strong is the gameplay, with nice little features that will keep you clued in the months to come. The better you do, the more bonus cars you can earn with the game eventually offering a whopping 40 vehicles ranging from a Daimler Chrysler to the Lotus Elise which you can crash to smithereens for TOCA world Touring Cars includes damage detail.
Codemasters have managed to produce a game that is a great send off to the PlayStation, one of those driving/racing games that in years gone by we will fondly look back and say "Ahh!" to. --Stuart Miles

This game is the best multiplayer racing game ever, bar none. I've got a ps3, 360 and had all the other consoles in between but for sheer laughs with a mate, this beats any subsequent game. The handling is realistic, damage occurs and adversely affects your car i.e. you cant just bash your way to winning, you can have lots of cars in offline multiplayer racing against you, you can have custom chamionships with your own races, and to top it off you have pit stops, just like a real race. All this applies to multiplayer as well.
If you can overlook the dated graphics this game is a racing gem

Firstly, let me just say that I play PS2, so to me this game is no longer a top contender with graphics etc, so to help you people who still have a PS1, i'll write from how i liked it before I got a PS2:
The first thing that hit's you when you come onto the game is the graphics, there brilliant. There's a large selection of touring cars from Volvo to Ford and a number of special cars to unlock ranging from Peugot to TVR Speed 12's. The driving, especially the computer is very agressive. There's plenty of bumping and shoving, in real touring car style between even the computer team. Another good thing about the AI (Computer/Artificial Intelligence) is that they crash on there own, that just add's to the realism. There's plenty of ... Read More:

I don't think there is a better racing game (besides GT ofcourse!!!!!) It might be old, outdated blah blah blah, but is still one of my favourites.

The game has got some good features, good grafics for Ps1, A wide selection of cars and tracks, but it has absolubtley terrible gameplay, it will take you most of the way down a straight to get to the red marks on the revs counter and there is no car in the world that has such terrible steering, that you have to lock all the wheels, and get to about 5 miles per hour before you can turn the corners at catalunya. The steering is the biggest problem because the wheels only move 5 milimeters lock to lock. I might have given it a higher rating if I hadn't played on the first two toca's which have realistic turning and acceleration. The downsides to them are the good points of Toca World Touring Cars.
