"It’s been over four years since the last installment in the Test Drive series, and this time around, Atari is giving Eden Games a go at attempting to create the ultimate open-world racer. Have they succeeded, and more-so, will this game be worth your hard earned dollars? Let’s take a look!"
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 can't believe IGN gave this a 5.5/10. >.<
I hated this game at first, but ended up loving it. I'm left thinking that IGN definitely didn't spend enough time with it. I mean, Gamespot's review, or this one, is much more informative and detailed.
That said, I played this game for hours on end... and barely scratched the surface! The bugs can get annoying at times, but the fun-factor really overshadows them.
Looks like a huge game. It's a shame I have so much other racing to do already.
This game actually looks pretty good.
