TEST DRIVE UNLIMITED 2 GAMEPLAY DRIVERS
There are a few drivers on the roads, but that’s about it. The realistic weather and day-night cycles add to the experience, but you’ll still notice an unrealistic absence of life in the cities. Featuring two entire islands filled with realistic scenery including cities, highways, forests, mountains and coasts, Test Drive Unlimited 2 is a game where you can have fun just driving around, at least for a while. The only hitch is that the various challenges around the islands of Ibiza and Hawaii require specific classes of car, so you’ll have to have a large roster if you want to get the most out of the game. You can even customize your cars with various performance enhancements to get them driving as good as possible. Spinning tires, drifting, overtaking, off-roading and everything else you’d like to do with these cars just feels right. The cars here feel like real cars should and respond very naturally to your touch.
The driving model has some funny bits, like the appearance and disappearance of other cars, or the finicky collision models, but overall it’s very enjoyable. The weight of the Hummers, the loose steering of the Mustangs, and the tight acceleration of the Audis all lend substantial credibility to the game.
Each car is rated in a number of performance areas, so you really feel the difference when you switch to a new vehicle. You can drive everything from piece of crap $15,000 hatchbacks to high-end Ferraris that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. The sheer range of vehicles is the first thing that really impressed me. The cars themselves are the real attraction, and you can have tons of fun just shopping for the right vehicles, customizing their appearance and performance, and driving them all around town. Even though the game’s content is battling against you, you can have a good time here if you’re resolved to focus on the positives.
