Genuine Preowned Complete

Le Mans 24 Hours (also known as Test Drive Le Mans in North America) is a racing simulation video game developed by Eutechnyx and published by Infogrames (Atari SA) for the PlayStation 2. It was released in 2000.

As the name suggests, the game is based on the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race, which takes place annually in France. The game features an official license, allowing players to race on the iconic Circuit de la Sarthe and participate in the challenging 24-hour race.

In Le Mans 24 Hours, players have the opportunity to drive a variety of real-world sports cars and prototypes from different classes, just like the actual Le Mans race. The game includes vehicles from famous manufacturers such as Porsche, BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and more.

Players can choose from various gameplay modes, including Quick Race, Time Trial, and the main focus of the game, the Le Mans 24 Hours race mode. The Le Mans race mode allows players to experience the grueling endurance race, where they must manage their car's performance, tire wear, fuel consumption, and pit stops strategically to achieve success.

The game attempts to capture the essence of the 24-hour race, including dynamic day-night cycles and changing weather conditions, which can affect the track's grip and visibility. The AI-controlled opponents also have their strategies and adapt to the changing race conditions.

Le Mans 24 Hours received mixed reviews from critics. While it was praised for its authentic representation of the Le Mans race and decent graphics, some criticized its lack of innovation and occasional technical issues.

Despite the mixed reception, the game found an audience among racing enthusiasts and fans of the Le Mans endurance race. It remains one of the few video games that offer a realistic simulation of the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans event on the PlayStation 2.
