Test Drive Unlimited
by nemesis8722 on Comments
I've been tracking Test Drive: Unlimited since I got a 360. I'm not a big fan of Arcade racers, but some of its ideas sounded cool. Well, when I woke up this morning, there was a demo for the game on XBL Marketplace. After Downloading, I played the thing for nearly three hours straight! The game is so cool! Basically, there's a huge city for you to drive around in. While you're cruising the city, you'll be thrown into a random online game with up to eight others (usually 7 or 8 ). You can then chase each other around or drive up to an opponent and issue a challenge. If the challenge is accepted, you are thrown into a map showing the start (where you issued the challenge), and you can pick a place (on a road) to be the finish. At certain spots around the city, you can enter into single player time trial events, or online race events. When entering an online race, a lobby system is available (with quickmatch, etc.). From the cash you earn in those online and offline events, you can buy new cars located at dealers around the city. In the demo, there is a Lamborghini dealer with four cars available to buy. All that is good, but most importantly, the driving is just fun! The Ninja motorcycle is particularly fun to drive (even though the falling physics suck). If you have a 360 you NEED to download this demo! It's so enjoyable! You can even invite your friends from the online race lobbies. Send me one! Here is some footage from the demo: [video=cXU3wTb95bsIvD7b] With the price at $40, I'm definitely getting this game!
