    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 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.

    Great open world with nice graphics, npcs are smart enough, nice driving physics, etc which wasn't really that common back in a day when this game was released. The PC version lacks the soundtrack but I listen to winamp anyways so it's pointless for me to a PC game have a soundtrack. I suggest everyone to do the same as me. Nice amount of cars but the bunch of dlcs kinda killed it for me,Great open world with nice graphics, npcs are smart enough, nice driving physics, etc which wasn't really that common back in a day when this game was released.

Nice amount of cars but the bunch of dlcs kinda killed it for me, all those cars should be in the base game. Nothing really to do in this game but to race. It's a single player game but without internet connection you wont be able to start any races. It gets race options and data from the cloud. So on that part it's a fail. Keep in mind I played it back in a day when it came out and today this game is a dead fossil, the servers are down and there are no patches.… Expand

    Test Drive Unlimited is an open world racing game appeared in 2006. The game has over 125 licensed cars and motorcycles registered. The game lacks a great story, maybe not at all. You start in an airport where you must choose the character you want. Then it is put on a plane and sent to the world of Test Drive Unlimited to become the best racer and had a famous collection of cars.

    There are no story, no music, no voices, just a sandbox where you drive some competition on an isle.
    The graphics looks old of course, a pity, but there are mods to improve it. The setting on the isle is great, so sometimes the graphics looks nice nonetheless.

    Gameplay sounds a bit boring in the beginning, but the focus of the game is to collect cool cars and drive them on a tropical island. The driving is focused a bit more on simulation than on arcade and you are lead to drive with few mistakes. This is a lot of fun in contrast to arcade games. But the handling is aweful later on, when the cars are faster.
    I didnt encounter any frustrating moments with the police or invisible items yet.
    In addition you can beam yourself to a place, you ve been before, so the timesink is low. On the other side I miss a "try again" function in the middle of a competition.

    Overall a fun game, especially if you think about the year it was released, but a bit outdated.    … Expand

    TDU's MMO elements are slight compared to quest-and-kill fare, but it's still the greatest advancement of the driving-a-pretend-car concept in years... A car fancier's wish-dream. [Feb 2007, p.74]

    TDU still offers a massive, inviting, and involving world for racing fans to gather in and share their love of cars. All with a cocktail on the side, too. [Mar 2007, p.64]

    A triumph...An expansive environment, expensive cars and plenty of company to race against make for an intoxicating Hawaiian cocktail. [Mar 2007, p.62]
