est Drive Le Mans (known as Le Mans 24 Hours in Europe, and for the PlayStation 2 and the second PC release) is a video game released for the PlayStation, Game Boy Color, Dreamcast, PlayStation 2, and Microsoft Windows (in two versions of the latter). The Playstation version played here was released in the year 2000 by Infograms.

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. The game also featured tracks such as Suzuka Circuit, Donington Park and Circuit de Catalunya, as well as a weather and night system. The intro of the Playstation version features "

Bohemian Like You", by The Dandy Warhols.

Finaly, Arcade mode. Here you need to play through all 3 classes in both difficulty modes. Each cup is made of 5 races with 3 laps each. Each time you win a race you unlock a faster car. A second arcade mode requires you to also race against the clock and you only unlock the next car if you claim 1st. if you beat the clock you progress to next track. Again with all 3 classes in both difficulty modes. These two modes do drag on, but its not a bad part of the game. The only issue is the ultimate cars (Toyota GT1, BMWE Prototype and Audi RSR) unlocked by beating all 3 classes are only available in Quick Race Mode... During arcade races the cars are fixed at max revs in both difficulty modes. After each race a replay is shown. I show just the first lap after each race and only in Amateur mode. I only show Amateur difficulty as nothing new to see in Pro.

With Arcade and challenge mode complete, Reverse Arcade modes are unlocked in Pro mode only which I show in Part3. The difficulty is higher in this mode and yet again I need to complete the two arcade modes 6 times. I had to cheat on the Amateur GT1 reverse Final as that race was unwinnable. It was impossible to get a glimpse of the front runner. It was infuriating to say the least.

Finaly with the Progression card complete what do we get! .........Nothing., Nadda, Zilch. The Lazy assed developers couldn't even put in a final win screen or video for completing the progression card which has taken up so much time. Still no cars unlocked for the three modes (apart from what is available in quick play). Not even a credits run. If you ever play this game, do it only for Le mans mode, the rest is just fluff and offeres nothing over any other racing game and ultimatly a waste of time. (angry rant mode ...you bet!) Even all the trophy gfx are recycled between the modes making each one not unique. After all this effort I may actually be put off putting the time in to complete other racing games with wacky progression requirements.

At the end of Part 3 I have shown some secret tracks/cars by entering some name codes. They look more interesting than they actually are as the races are unwinnable. The credits I show at the end are normally shown after the game demo/title sequence. Even if you just download part 1, you will have seen all that the game has to offer.
