Test Drive 5 is a racing game developed by Pitbull Syndicate and published by Accolade for PlayStation and Windows in 1998, and by Capcom in Japan in 1999.

While not a dismal failure by any means, the cheap AI and unbalanced gameplay ensure that Test Drive 5 remains rental material at best.

"[19] Michael E. Ryan, also of GameSpot, criticized various aspects of the PC version, writing, "while the game is a decent arcade racer with great graphics, plenty of cars, and a ton of tracks, it simply falls short of its number one competitor - EA's Need for Speed III - in almost every conceivable way.

"[18] Trent C. Ward of IGN said the PC version was "blessed with solid graphics, great sound, and some of the finest cars ever included in a racing game."

"[20] Craig Harris, also of IGN, praised the PS version's sound effects and music, as well as its multiplayer mode, and called its graphics "a step up from Test Drive 4."
