Test Drive Le Mans (known as Le Mans 24 Hours in Europe and Australia, as the Test Drive license was only used in North America) is a videogame realeased for the Sega Dreamcast, Sony PlayStation, Sony Playstation 2, Microsoft Windows PCs and the Game Boy Color. Based on the famous 24 hours of Le Mans race in France, the player is invited to race the entire 24 hour endurance course or take part in a simpler arcade mode.

[edit] Reception

The Dreamcast version was singled out for particular praise among reviewers, with GameSpot awarding the game 9.6/10, IGN 9.4/10 and GameSpy 9/10. The PC and PlayStation versions, which were identical to each other in their format and presentation, received less praise. The Playstation 2 version, a port of the Dreamcast game, also received less praise due to lower quality textures, lack of progressive scan, and jaggies, which were a problem in many early Playstation 2 titles.
