The most unfortunate thing about TDU is that no one has made a game even remotely like it since. This game combines solid driving mechanics with hundreds of miles of open roads that are simply a blast to explore. Exploring the island of Oahu is great fun, and there are lots of things to do on the island. However, the game has some big flaws. While the cars are very detailed, the rest of the world is rather bland, with repetitive scenery that lacks fine details. The missions in the game are rather repetitive, and the AI in races is rather poor. Police chases can be fun, but they are poorly balanced so that one can escape from low-profile chases fairly easily, while making it almost impossible to escape from high-level ones.
Overall, this is a solid racing game and a good start to a series that should be made, but has not to this point. If you can find this game, it is definitely worth trying out.
