The measured, perceived-to-be niche original Test Drive game didn’t do earth-shattering numbers when it launched on the Xbox 360 back in 2006, but the fact that it is still being played today – coupled by the fact that this sequel just went straight..."

Such an underrated game, the only problem I had with it was the car physics on anything more powerful the a Golf GTI. But to me this was the original Forza Horizon
Game Informer - It's hard to imagine what to do in a car game except race other cars, and yet with Test Drive Unlimited 2, developer Eden Games found a way to expand the genre's horizons enough to offer an experience that's slightly different from your average racer. Eden's ambition came with a cost, but Test Drive Unlimited 2 is a game that I remember fondly and appreciate for the chances it takes.

Would love to see something like this again, especially on a next gen console.

"driving simulator"
That must make Tetris a construction simulator.
