Test Drive Unlimited 2 might be lacking in some areas, but this is one instance where the sheer quantity of features prevails since their structure is thoughtful enough to make this game more than just a lazy vacation.
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.
I Want Racing To Be A More Important Priority
I looooved the first Test Drive Unlimited but, admittedly, it had little to do with the actual racing career. The ridiculously large amount of explorable space, ability to cruise endlessly with friends, and the collection aspects were what really got me hooked. Based on this review, it sounds like this will be a proper expansion on the features that I enjoyed most, but it is disappointing that the racing hasn't been improved as well.
leave it to the budgetgamer to post news that no one cares about
The game's months from release and is still undergoing development. This is no doubt based on beta/debug code, not the final product.
