    Official Test Drive Unlimited 2


    Shocked that there isn't a thread on this (considering its out in a week).

    Anyone interested? Tried the beta? Anyone got it yet? Impressions, thoughts, anything!

    First review seems pretty positive:

    Game Informer

    Is there a "Cop" or chase mode like Hot Pursuit?
    It would be a blast to play that throughout an entire island!

    Had no idea there was a beta, and the game doesn't come out for a week with little fan fair.

              Yeah, same here but all the previews going on about the wonky handling are starting to scare me. The original's handling was serviceable and it wouldn't take much pushing in the wrong direction to topple the entire game.

              I am also more than a bit pissed that GS pre-orders get an entire game mode (Casino) that other people will have to purchase via DLC. I can deal with a pre-order skin job. I could even deal with an exclusive preview/access to a game mode provided it was a limited time and then everyone got the mode for free. Because I cannot or do not wish to patron GS is no reason I should have to pay more for the game. In fact, the more I think about it the more I refuse to support this marketing practice.

                Looking forward to this one quite a bit. The original was a sleeper hit. Not perfect but did some really cool things.

                  Not sure how seriously you take your reviews but new one just popped up at Metacritic:

                  Xbox Magazine UK gave it a 70

                  I am a little worried now..

                    I'm actually looking forward to the open world concept they are pushing. What I'm not sure of though is if it's open world like several users or confined to 4-8 of your friends.

                    I may pick it up.
                    Being kind, one to another, never disappoints.

                      I've been reading users impressions and they all seem to state that the driving seems like a secondary priority. As if the designers placed more emphasis on the social aspect of the game.

                      I am seriously confused about this now!

                        Meh, the driving sucked in the first game too. For those that still have it, go back and play it. We overlooked ALOT in that game as far as driving physics were concerned because of the appealing parts of the rest of the game.

                          The first one is almost 6 years old so of course its not going to be as good now compared to new racing games but when it first came out it was a good game and if i recall correctly the first one didnt get great review scores but the game was fun

                            I hear the driving its better than the first one and so it should be (considering its 6 years old).

                            Can those who get it early please post impressions?

                            I've also heard that the 2 islands are huge (Hawaii is "prettier" and also much larger than Ibiza).

                            But how will 8 players online scattered over a huge island actually work for multiplayer?

                              I found the driving in the first one to be pretty terrible at that time, when compared to the arcade racers of 2006/2007. It's pretty much unplayable if you go back and play it now lol.
