Atari released the final Launch Trailer of Test Drive Unlimited 2.
Richard writes: "The series may have a cult following, but ten years on Test Drive Unlimited 2 still upsets me. It was one of my most anticipated games ever, with a concept years ahead of what Forza Horizon could achieve. But it remains one of the buggiest launches of a game I can remember, completely tarnishing my memory of it."

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.
This game gets a bad rap, but I enjoy it still. The idea was great, I think that if the devs were just better supported it could have been something truly epic.
Would love to see something like this again, especially on a next gen console.
Dear gameinformer,
look up the fucking definition of cult classic,
sincerely,
anyone who knows what "cult" or "classic" means.
Looks awesome
Can't wait. :)
Hey guys I don't want to rain on the parade but you might want to not get your hopes up too high on this game.
I'm a massive TDU1 fan having played the whole thing on xbox (just got the all roads acheivement last night finally).
I've been able to have a go for a hour on the pc version already and I have to say that whilst its good there are issues especially with the vehicle control and handling and the sound of the cars even compared to the first game. Also the sense of speed has been toned down in terms of frame rate and object viewpoint movement. What i mean is that 230mph in a Saleem on TDU felt like you were in a rocket and your eyes were bleeding. 235mph in an Aston Martin on TDU2 felt like 150 mph in TDU1 - Sunday driver.
Somethings not quite right.I hope this is just the pc version and that the xbox version is better but i doubt it.
Fingers crossed. Epic games cant afford to screw up this great franchise idea which has lots of loyal fans.
the sims meets racing
My PS3 version is on it's way. Hope I will receive it tomorrow or the following day. Loved the first one on xbox 360
