There are days when sometimes you just need to go and drive some cars, but games like Russian Taz Driving 2 offer a safer alternative. When you're driving digital cars, there's much less risk to yourself, but you might only be able to enjoy driving to the fullest if you have some control. Drifting and crashing all over the place can be amusing, but true excitement comes from seeing how fast you can go and master velocity as you keep the speed going around all those tight turns. It's not like it's your car, so you've got plenty of time to practice on all the empty roads ahead.

About Russian Taz Driving 2

If you're going to play a driving game, you need to choose between having a destination or just focusing on the drive. This game just gives you the latter, and you can take it however you want. The car physics isn't the most realistic, and neither is how the car reacts to the environment, but you're not being given a challenge. You've got some cars and a whole city to work with, so see what kind of work you can do. It's doubtful that any of this driving will help you in real life, but there's no harm in going on a virtual joyride.

How to Play

Russian Taz Driving 2 is a 3D game about driving different cars around a city using only the keyboard.

Controls

W/Up Arrow - Accelerate
S/Down Arrow - Slow Down/Reverse
A/Left Arrow - Turn Left
D/Right Arrow - Turn Right
Spacebar - Handbrake

The goal is to drive around the city as much as you'd like. The cars you get have no fuel or conditions to worry about, so see what they can do. Your drive ends whenever you decide to stop and step away.

Before you start driving, you can select from a range of cars that are all accessible from the beginning. After you've got your car, you'll immediately spawn in the garage and will be able to start your engines. The city you must explore is full of streets and buildings with enclosed areas and a few open spaces. You can drive all over the terrain you can get your car, including underwater. There are a few civilians who will be dancing around the area, and you can choose to switch your car at any time.

Tips and Tricks

Since there aren't any objectives or missions to complete, you can think of this as a playground or a sandbox game. All the cars are unlocked at the start, and there are no collectibles, so the exploration is based solely on your curiosity. You can test your vehicle control since each one slides around easily.
