Test Drive Unlimited 2 (PC)
____________________

In recent years entire virtual worlds have been developed, seeing gamers transported to renaissance Italy or even the rings of Saturn. Still, nothing quite compares to being immersed in a virtual world based on the real thing and Test Drive Unlimited has set the pace when it comes to doing so. When Eden Games released that title it was one of the most ground breaking racing simulators to date; being the first racing game to introduce the idea of a massively multiplayer online racing and giving players from all over the globe the chance to interact, challenge and exist among many like them.

"It's similar to a bottle of 2in1 shampoo/conditioner."

Thanks for the honest review, I might not bother :P

I never really liked the Test Drive series, but this I might buy (once I get my system up and running hopefully).

Test Drive Unlimited was great, played it for a long time, sadly it's almost 5 years ago and it looks like they've used the same graphics, and it's been dogged with the same problems as the original, which took weeks and weeks before they patched it so you could reliably race with friends and stay together in the world. I'm gonna stick with Gran Turismo this time round. Sure you don't get the freedom but the experience is a lot better on the whole.

I got a decent amount of gameplay out of the first game, but it was no competitor to GT4 even then. Shame Gran Turismo never comes out on PC
