The words "Rip-off" and "Letdown" come into mind when talking about this game.
User Rating: 6.5 | Test Drive Unlimited 2 X360
I have rated Test Drive Unlimited a 6.5 based upon a number of factors. One of which is the disappointing gameplay. Not just from me, but there have been a lot of complaints over the difficultly in controlling a vehicle whilst driving at a high speed. The controls are just too responsive, having said that though, this doesn't make it impossible not to win a race, as the difficultly for me is just about right. On the other hand the graphics are good and little extra unique touches to the game such as indicators and lowing the windows add to the realistic effect, although car damage is ridiculously unreal. The variation of cars is also quite good, but not amazing. The £40 ($62) price tag was a bit unreasonable when the game first came out in early 2011, but seemed great value for money when playing for the first few times. There is a stage in the game, that you begin to feel a bit bored. As if everything has been explored, every car has been driven and every race has been raced, without actually completing the game. This feeling of boredness for me settled in after many hours of play, although this doesn't happen in other games such as GTA (limitless fun). The location of the game is exotic and beautiful, however there could be more major towns, as a lot of the driving takes place in the middle of no-where or little villages.
Overall, Test Drive Unlimited 2 was disappointing although it does have great graphics and at times is quite entertaining.
