I blame reviews like this for this game being such a sleeper hit. He mikes it seem like a forza game that missed the mark. When really it is a racing RPG that hit the nail on the head. I CANNOT WAIT FOR TDU2!!!
@Quirkification Completely agree. Seems to me like people really don't understand the concept of the game. All you have to do is look @ 2:45 of the review and you can see the reviewer wants to play the game as if it's Burnout Paradise. TDU as a series is about driving luxurious cars and living a luxurious lifestyle all while being able to explore a gigantic map and having the online and offline modes seamlessly intergrated into one. It's really a unique game that is highly underrated. TDU2 ftw!!
I loved how the cars handled really heavy and like my character just drank 8 chugs of vodka. I spinout at the drop of a hat. there's too many damn hills that durning a race jump off and land on the pavement, causing you to crash into on coming traffic.
You can unlock cars but as soon as you sell the car, it doesn't let you buy it again, and the car is locked again.
cops are everyware in this game and you can hit any of the traffic but while racing, thie traffic is sometimes unavoidable.
"Strange" that no review is ever saw mentioned that TDU was and still is a bugfest in combination with awful netcode and basically no support whatsoever.
The gameplay IS addicting, but it could have been much better if properly programmed.
He sucks ass at driving that Koenigsegg. Sure, just bash it into cars. That's a prime aspect of this game's action, beating the fuck out of cars, then dealing with the poor police chases.
I love the driving mechanics of this game, I love Oahu in this game, and I simply love the cars. This game is one of the best racers I've ever played. It's definitely in my top three with Gran Turismo 4, and Midnight Club 3 Remix (In no particular order)
First get to the champ rank and buy a Enzo Ferarri(spell?) then upgrade it to level 3. Now go to the event called "180 MPH in heavy traffic" when you start, turnaround and reach the target speed and restart and keep doing it and rack up tons of money so don't waste your time doing that 1,000,000 M challenge.
Reviewer got it all wrong. This is a SANDBOX/MMO racing game. Of course the character models aren't going to look great. Look at GTAIV. Hell, the characters in this game look better than in GTA IV.
It's about the environments and vehicles. Both look stunning in that regard. This game is about getting cash to buy the car/house that you want on an exotic island.
You can do all of that at your own discretion. It doesn't really "force" you to do anything in the game.
They made the characters an important part of the game. The first thing you do is choose a character, and you can't do anything before buying a house and a car, because if you keep using the rental, your time is going to run out.
I got it for christmas and im very impressed. its so easy when you see someone, challenge them and you good to go. i love it, i just gotta get a good car ^-^
burnout paradise doesn't smoke this game because its not the same as TDU. TDU is more of a MMO than a racing/driving game. This game is more about the player's lifestyle as an exotic cars collector than a racer. Its in its own league in comparison to the mainstream racing games like burnout, forza, or gran turismo.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I've played Test Drive Unlimited myself, absolutely awful, boring,(Good looking cars, but not so bright graphics),weird controls, a waste of your money, you'd rather play Donkey Kong County 3 on the SNES
Dude just be happy they even have a version for the ps2. For all we know it could be released for the ps3 insted of ps2 (you Ps2 Lover or Low budget people)
Funny how theres always 1 person speaking for that one system, such as PC PS3 Xbox 360. But this isnt an open forum its a comment. I liked the vid, told me most of everything i needed to know and im going to buy it when it comes out :D
There isn't going to be a PS3 version, Xbox 360 is much better anyway not including the fact that the PS3 is 800.00US (according to the price tag at my local retailer) so ... Xbox for me! No way am i putting 800.00US into sony, They're TV's are superb but they need to look at the Playstation line a little bit better.
There will not be a ps3 version of the first game, but the second game is in development, and it looks like it could be ps3 exclusive, the first game didnt sell well in europe with the 360 and thats because the 360 is not popular in europe, you know the rest...
louie6543, Don't be retarded. There sure may very well be a second one in the works but don't drop turds out of your mouth on here. There hasn't been any announcements even remotely saying it will be exclusive to any console. The 360 version sold very well which does not merit a 3rd party developer all of a sudden dropping their pants to sony and becomeing exclusive to a console that a whole 5 people in the world own.
Hmmm...my friend bought a 360 and it boroke down in 2 weeks... he now has a PS3 and has no problems with it... and the graphics are way better on PS3... so...
Are you guys stupid? Xbox 360 has ten times better graphics than PS3. For those stupid sony fanboys who want to impress their product should know the facts first.
i like it how u are honest
