A great game that all street racers will like ... Test Drive Unlimited
Test Drive Unlimited
Dear everyone out there reading my review,
I would strongly encourage you to purchase this game after reading my review as it is worth it. Really, it's worth it. Now back to my review, I will start with game-play.
1. Overall
This game is much more better than NFS and GTR. It is the first PC game to both have offline and online game modes in one DVD instead of others which are cut into two parts, each needs a DVD itself. It is also the first PC driving game to have a M.O.O.R. in it. It is available in PSP, PS2, X-box 360 and PC platforms and is made by Atari and published by Eden Games. It is available in both offline and online mode. In the offline mode, you can do missions (which I will state further into the review) made by the game, and in the online mode, you do races made by others on the Internet.
2. Game-play
The game-play was absolutely nice and the graphics were amazing. You could just imagine that in were in Hawaii' itself though without the gust of wind blowing across your head in a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder. You start of in an airport in (America???). Yup, I think so. Then you will hear the announcement to proceed to the boarding gate where you will pick your character or avatar that represents yourself. Either a cool guy or a sexy girl.
Next you and your character (which I will represent as you only) are whisked of to The Island Of Oahu in Hawaii' in a Hawaiian Airlines Plane. You will then be led to a short intro and then you are in Hawaii'!!! You next proceed to the V-Rent- A-Car to rent a car (either a Audi, Chevrolet, Lotus, Pontiac or a Mercedes-Benz). Then you will proceed to the Real Estate Office, guided by your GPS, to buy your dream home, but the cheapest is only $150,000 out of your $198,900. For this, you have two choices: A Bungalow or a High-Rise Apartment. Next, you will be transported to your Car Dealer to purchase your first car. You are only left with $48,900 and could only afford an Alfa or An Audi. Then, you will be off to your first race.
