Think county fairs are all about negotiating the swarms of pale bigots who peed in the family gene pool one time too many? Two words for you: demolition derby. Recreated here in all its redneck glory, Test Drive lets you jump in for career or action mode, the former starting you off in Granny’s humble shitbox with a fistful of cash. Enter over 20 events, like ramp-filled figure-eight courses or the Suicide Race—where cars run the track in opposite directions—to win more scratch and buy new vehicles to mangle. Drivables—from hearses to school buses to muscle cars—all handle differently, but their arcade-style ease nicely compliments an overall dumb-ass experience that’s as fun as getting a bellyful of corn liquor and chasing a greased piglet.
