TDU2 is a bland, budget-looking title with graphics that generally look worse than many games did in the first year of the then next generation console cycle. The only good looking thing in the game are the cars themselves, which admittedly, is the most important part.
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.
following in the footsteps of the original then. How did this score a 7 with a review like that by the way?
The graphics are good on the pc version, shame about the rest of the game!
"But you can only see the poorly animated and stiff avatars in car dealerships and insides buildings like homes and clubs, so it’s not really that big of a deal how you look."
I hope they know that your avatar is the person driving your cars around...
