Test drive unlimited

Downloaded it lastnight, its well cool!!!

Freedrive for 10 mins, around 40 miles of coastline.
You get a choice of 3 cars, Shelby Gt, Gallardo Spyder, or Lotus Elise roadster (personal fav).

Graphics are mint as to the sound.
Cant wait for this to come out.

I especially like the fact that you can make the windows go up and down, when down the sound goes up from the engline (the shelby roarrrrrs)

Download it (if you havent already)

Hate to disagree but I found it infinitely boring, the graphics are cartoony and Xbox-ish, the gameplay is devoid of any depth and the free-roaming action is lessened by the lack of ability to run over pedestrians.

dont forget its still in development....

Still worth a download for people that havent, as its free.

Best download I have found for people who don't like buying games - is BF2.

You only get one map but that map is great, perfect for mining the cr*p out of every square inch of flag two

I actually bought the game from playing that demo, I took it back soon after.....not the greatest.

According to turks, Chrome Hounds and Prey are ok games, I think prey is on the marketplace, Chrome Hounds is available for purchase. Must admit I do like the idea of Chrome hounds online battles.

I had great expectations fro Test drive, but after playing it, its one that has been crossed off the to get list. The list was then tarred and feathered, then burnt to get rid of the foul taste it left. It drives like outrun the arcade game. Nothing like the realism you get from PGR. If it had pgr style handling, then it would be the best game, but in this state, dont bother.

I am still loving BF2 - ok you still get the occasional arse that drives over your mines or shoots them to p*ss you off but hey!

Prey demo is without a doubt one of the best FPS games I have played on a console. Amazing graphics and fun too.

Didn't like the mechwarrior game to be honest, but I never really got into the whole walking robot mindset.

After playing TDU since friday I have to say its totally amazing in every way, the cars & bikes are so realistic its hard to believe.
Comparied to the demo, its alot better & feels more solid, the free drive aspect is well cool, jsut driving around with other people at the same time = FUN!!!!

It's doesnt seem to have the arcade feel that PGR has, it plays like a simulator.
Driving around the island is cool also with loads of different landmarks to look at, you deffo wont get tired as there is no repetativeness.

So far I have got to pro level, and own a TT & a TVR Tuscan S, and Kawasaki Ninja. Im saving up for an Enzo at the moment which is around 700K, I have 450K, bit more to go yet.

Seriously try it now, Its that good I havent even played Dead Rising, which was the game I was predominatly waiting for LOL!

My only gripe is that the missions are pretty easy, so, completing the game shouldnt take long, but I reckon the fun only starts there, once you have a nice array of vehicles to play with.

PGR wont get a lookin now. (for me anyways)
