CheatHappens: Four years ago, Eden games dreamed of a different type of racing game, and the result, Test Drive Unlimited delivered in spades. Taking drivers beyond the track, the original Unlimited was a massive and fun endeavor that kept gamers busy for hours. Now, they're looking to do it again. Test Drive Unlimited 2 is a much bigger title that save for a few missteps that weren't fixed from the original is just as fun, if not more.
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.
For some reason I just can't take the higher scoring reviews of this game seriously. I've got a trained eye from playing games for a very long time and this game screams "average" in all departments.
