Review: Test Drive Unlimited2

TDU2



Test Drive Unlimited 2 - a game where you may buy quite exotic cars and take them for drives in a HUGE, HUGE area, with heaps of side quests and championships, to be the absolute best and skilled driver in Ibiza!


The graphics in this game are unrivaled against any other car game. the cars look absolutely stunning, and the landscape is perfect. no other car game beats the lovely views while driving through the Ibiza hillside in a GT mustang (only a starter car, but so cool!) The sound the cars make, sound so real -  having a small fiat sounded not too bad, but when i stepped into the gt mustang, it sounded like the huge 5,000 CC 8cyl engine it was. everything in this game is really realistic too, they have three settings - a hardcore mode, for drivers that can drive really well, a "sport" mode, where you get a bit of traction control and help, and a beginners mode where u can turn corners at 150 km's per hour with out braking and not skid. :)


One thing i love about this game is how realistic the driving experience can be. On hardcore mode, it is so challenging to drift around corners at 200km/h in a Ferrari, as it should be! this game is so realistic, when u drive manual, u have a clutch and everything, so u can drop the clutch, go down a gear, and rev lock through turns! ITS SO FUN....once u get used to it. :)

One thing i do not like about this game is there isn't really and modifications u can make to the cars, I'm more of a need for speed person - I like customizing and improving my car, but nonetheless, a very real looking car game, that is very fun to play, that is great for casual gaming!

  1. I have to disagree, the graphics are trailing behind games of it's generation, but that's understandable as you have a huge map, and the handling is a bad mix of realistic and arcade. It's not half the game TDU 1 was.

  3. All I've played of this game is "drive someone woman to a photoshoot" (That's TDU2, Right?) Felt so shit.

    If the first was so unlimited, why'd it need a sequel?

  11. I'm a little wary because I don't usually like racing games. But who knows.
