Test Drive Unlimited 2 (Hands On)



You guys may remember Test Drive Unlimited back in 2007. It was one of the best multiplayer racing games of all time, behind Burnout Paradise. Well, they've made a sequel. Fortunately, I got into their Beta program and started testing it. It's pretty awesome, if I'm honest. You can do more, see more, and race more. More is the key word. However, atari spells MORE like MOOR. M.O.O.R stands for Massively Open Online Racing. Imagine World of Warcraft, but with cars, rich people, parties, racing, and scenic drives. That's what Test Drive Unlimited 2 is. It's a brilliant game and it's coming along rather well. So far, I've been able to drive a couple cars in the game. The three you see in front of you are the Aston Martin DBS (Jeremy Clarkson's favorite car), the Ferrari California (one fast grand touring convertible), and the Audi Q7 V12 TDi (the most ridiculous SUV ever created). Speaking of which, TDU2 will have SUV's for the first time in this game. Why? Who wouldn't want to go off-roading on a scenic island. Speaking of islands, TDU2 will take place on two islands, rather than one. In the beginning you will start out in Ibiza, a 571 kilometer island filled with exotic drives. Once you've leveled up in the game, you will be able to fly back to Oahu, Hawaii and race there with 1600 kilometers of road at your disposal. Either way, you will have fun playing this game. Stay tuned for more updates.
