The idea of Test Drive was simple. You picked a sport scar from the list of cars on offer (from the likes of Lotus and Lamborghini) then you simply had to reach the gas station at the end of each stage whilst avoiding other drivers and the police."

Whoa! Have'nt played one of those since my old IBM with CGA monochrome monitor....
BigBen Interactive has today announced they have acquired the rights to use and develop future Test Drive titles from Atari.
BigBen Interactive has also confrimed they have a project to develop new titles from the Test Drive Unlimted series.
I loved part 1 that had simulate racing physics and handling. Part 2 just fucked it up for me with its arcade style handling. This is the only game that can compete against FH3 if they bring back the physic style handling.
Most of the additions to TDU2 were not great but it did not ruin the game for me. This new one needs to have more than just Euro cars if it really wants to compete.
Have never heard of this developer, still exciting news though, loved both previous games.
So happy to hear this news. My favorite racing series is back!!! Now Motorstorm needs to come back.
8CN: When it comes to game worlds, bigger isn't always better, but that doesn't make these 10 titles any less impressive.
Test Drive Unlimited was awesome, the driving mechanics were pretty poor but the island was fantastic and felt huge. I regularly would race around the outside edge of the map in a loop, each lap would take about an hour in real time.
Cool review. I might pick this up - you can never have too many sweet racing games.
Test Drive is definitely a underrated series
Nice review I have been dabating weather to buy this for my PSP ot not.
nice review although I'm not really a racing junkie myself. The only real racing game I ever really got into that wasn't a acarde racer was Gran Turismo so I think i just may hold off on for the PSP version of that.
TDU was awesome for the 360, i can only picture it being good on the PSP. Too bad i dont play handhelds~
