With TDU 2 coming only weeks away, some game reviewers already have their copies of the game and have put in their own fingerprints on the island of Ibiza. A German game magazine known as Gameswelt were so kind as to post the first 10 minutes of TDU 2 gameplay involving you choosing your character and starting out life in Ibiza. Your first car: a 2010 Ferrari California. Sounds good, doesn't it? Check out the video below to see what action is in-store for you. I must warn you now, it's in German, so unless you speak it, you might not understand anything.
With the ßeta finally over and the release date just weeks away, I thought it best to make a trailer of what you can really expect in the next TDU installment. Take a look at the video below to see my custom made trailer with help from iMovie.
This is it, ladies & gentlemen: my last ßeta video before the release of Test Drive Unlimited 2 coming this February. It might have some arcade stuff going on, but trust me when I say that it's as real as life can get. You live the life of a jet setter trying to rise to fame by racing and entering exclusive clubs. How you make it there depends entirely up to you. Race with your friends through the streets of Ibiza and Oahu as you claim bragging rights, buy exclusive cars, and live in big mansions. Sounds like the perfect life, doesn't it? Look for this game on the shelves on the 8th of February.
This is it, ladies and gentlemen: the final TDU 2 ßeta test before its February 8th release date. I've inspected a lot of things in this game and it seems that it will actually do well. I know I said before that this game wouldn't be good because of the lack of cars, but it seems that Atari is up to something more than just racing. Everything about this game feels somewhat realistic, and that includes the handling. In the last installment, handling was the #1 problem. Now, it seems that TDU have addressed it with better turning and more realistic car feel. The cars are actually impressive themselves, all 101 of them. Since the beginning, I've been driving the Ferrari California, Aston Martin DBS, Audi TT-RS, and Audi Q7 V12 TDI. All of them are good cars. They've been designed carefully and their physics are almost precise. But, there's one car that I've been trying to achieve since the beginning and haven't driven, until now, and you're looking at it. This Audi R8 Spyder makes me feel like Tony Stark in Iron Man 2. Fun fact: the car was actually supposed to debut in that movie. Anyway, the only way for me to achieve this car in the ßeta was to win it in the Slot Machines at Casino Island. After many tries, over 1000 to be exact, I finally won it. Just goes to show: gambling is addicting. Anyway, I was able to enjoy this awesome V10 Spyder on Ibiza racing with soon-to-be TDU friends and rivals. Check out the video below of all the stuff I did on Ibiza. The Audi video will be on later.
Test Drive Unlimited is back with more islands, more houses, more online madness, and, most importantly, more cars. Here's one of them: the 2010 Ferrari California. This is a truly brilliant grand touring exotic. This is a car that you would take to on a grand tour of Europe or even Miami Beach. You might have driven this car in Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, but in this game, it's way better. You still get Ferrari's 453 horsepower 4.3 liter V8 under the hood. It will still reach 0-60 in just 4.0 seconds with Ferrari's first 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. It still has that same top speed of 193 mph, but now that the attention has shifted from circuit racing to island cruising, there's so much more you can do. Now, you can get chased by the Ibiza Police Department, race friends on the scenic Ibiza Highway, and even retract Ferrari's first metal-folding roof for a pleasant drive around the island. These are just some of the many things you can do with this awesome grand tourer. Take a look at the short video below to see this car in action.
