    TDU is all about driving fast in expensive cars through gorgeous locales and that's exactly what it delivers. It's not a sim, so don't expect GTR2-level realism.

    An ambitious game that hasn't (yet) fulfilled its potential. There's brilliance here, but it's currently being smothered by technical issues and an unfortunately wobbly multiplayer component.

    It doesnt work, theres no patch, and the bits that do work or need fixing get boring very easily. Whats the point of making an online racing It doesnt work, theres no patch, and the bits that do work or need fixing get boring very easily. Whats the point of making an online racing game you cant either get online with or when you can, everyone has connection problems so you cant race them. Steer clear (pardon the pun) unless it gets fixed. By the way the lyrics to the installation music go- This is an excuse that we're making we're making, Is it good enough for what you're paying you're paying It's just another excuse Is this song about Atari's support? ...

    5, i couldn't force myself to finish the game. The roads have straight angles in them on valleys and hills, you literally dig in the road with5, i couldn't force myself to finish the game. The roads have straight angles in them on valleys and hills, you literally dig in the road with the nose of your car and crash, or you get lift off and lose traction. The handling of the cars is HORRIBLE. The only good thing are the graphics. Full Review »

    -The handling is not the greatest but I love the game either way
    -The cops, oh god, the cops... Its literally impossible to enjoy a cruise around the map without being chased... Its impossible
    There is a bug in the game that Eden did not fix... When you are driving at a free road, sometimes you will be stopped by an invisible object, which automatically starts a chase
    Also, the cops are impossible to avoid and escape after 1 star... When you are just beginning the game, and you get chased, you can lose all your money if the cops catch you and they intend to ram you, which increases the fee...Not only that, if there is no cop present and can`t see you, and you hit a traffic car, you will get a wanted level... Its pure stupidity to include cops into the game !
