Test Drive Unlimited (Xbox 360)

Test Drive Unlimited is currently available for purchase on the Xbox360 ======== Story ======== As with most racing games there isn't really much of a story in the game, you just drive around a beatiful island completing tasks ======== Gameplay ======== The main base for much of your racing is the island of Oahu in Hawai, you can either drive around and enjoy the sites or you can compete in various races and tasks of which can be found from ...

Review of Test Drive Unlimited (Xbox 360)

Test Drive Unlimited is a driving game published by Atari for the Xbox 360 console. I first played the game because my Xbox 360 came with the demo and I played it and really enjoyed it. I loved the cop chases and the lovely island but there were some things I did not like as well. The things I liked: I liked the fact the game had lots of licensed cars (over 100) which look great and really realistic. These licensed cars come from brands like Audi, ...
...Mc-Laren, Mercedes, Nissan, Volkswagen and many more! The game also includes bikes which is a big plus for me because if you start getting bored driving your car around the island you can pop on a bike and do lots of wheelies! You can also download new cars through Xbox Live which adds even more fun to the game! I also liked the island which you drive around and is based upon the beautiful Hawaiian island of Oahu. The island is really big and you ...

Review of Test Drive Unlimited (Xbox 360)

...a fan of the early Test Drive Games on previous computer systems and liked the idea of a free roaming map with mission type races and other challenges but somehow Test Drive Unlimited doesn't have quite the apeal I hoped for. First off the look of the game; I know it was released some time ago but I'm not convinced its actually neg gen quality. The trees, cars and houses look boxy and basic, in fact you could say they look like something out of ...
...in the same vein as Test Drive Unlimited with added excitement). Controls are the norm with a nice sat nav style guidance system although it can give you short warning of turnings sometimes. Particularly annoying in the middle of a tight to the second mission. Cut scenes are ok with cheesy characters and story lines. So all in all this game offers players the opportunity to drive real cars aroung a realistic island doing realish missions and races. ...

Review of Test Drive Unlimited (Xbox 360)

...For Speed, I immediately purchased Test Drive Unlimited upon it's release. One of the first things that attracted me to the game was the wide choice of cars and manufacturers, as well as the graphics of the game. The sounds too - there are some games out there where most of the cars sound the same, this is different. The sounds are different for each car, which adds a great atmosphere when racing. When you first start the game, you can select from ...
...of character has no effect on the game, and is simply there to offer you a choice of what you want to look like! The next step is to rent a car. You have a choice of around 5 different rental cars to choose from, and have two choices of how long you would like to rent the car for. With your hire car at your disposal, your first task is to go and buy yourself a house. Different size properties are available, and the main thing to look out for is ...

Review of Test Drive Unlimited (Xbox 360)

For me this game was the only game I played for a long time. The ability to roam 1000 miles of open road and even more off road areas is so much fun. GAMEPLAY When you first start the main game you are instructed to drive to different shops so that you can have a car and a house to start the game. Once this is over though, you can start to enjoy the vast expanse that is the island of Oahu. The island has 1000 miles of open road where you can meet ...
...them to a race. Other than races you can drive a characters car to a designated spot and get paid for it, or pick up a hitchhiker and take them to where they want to go. Another addition is bikes. The bikes could have better handling physics and there could be more of them but the bikes that are there is a good selection. GRAPHICS/SOUND The graphics are very good. When you are in the garage, you can look around your cars and the quality is outstanding. ...

Your car can be customised by your fav color, you can also tune up your car with booster kit. In start the game is slow but once you make some properties and have enough cars you really enjoy the game by this time. ...

Review of Test Drive Unlimited (Xbox 360)

When I first heard about TDU I thought this would be a revolutionary game. And MMO with no fee set on an island inhabited by players? Whats not to love! However it isn't as simple as that. For a start, you wont see streets packed with players driving around, players who are in the same area as you are are "loaded" onto you game almost, sure its the real player, but you can only have 8 at a time driving freeroam with you. Despite this slightly ...
...still a great game. The graphics are wonderful, set on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, palm trees and beaches and highways all look highly realistic. The cars also look wonderful, and theres a decent selection, theres even a few bikes you can purchase, however the bike do seem an afterthought, the handling is highly dubious and you end up on your backside more than actually driving. The gameplay involves free roaming around Oahu to spots where you ...

You like cars ? You like motorcycles ? You enjoy racing ? Answer Yes to any of the above & Testdrive Unlimited Must be on your Xbox 360 games wishlist for September. Set on an island in Hawaii , with over 1,000 miles of roads to rip up the Tarmac on . You have the choice ... Do you ride a Bike ? , Do you drive a car ? You have over 125 (Current count , Although more cars & bikes are to be released through Xbox Live every month) Vehicles to choose ...
...modern day supercars including the Zonda & Lamborghini Gallardo & many more . There are bikes to choose from , although many of these have been kept under wraps until closer to the release date . But models that have been seen are Ducati's & hondas. So expect a just as exciting lineup for the bikes as the cars. The overall aim of the game is to win races to gain money to buy better & faster cars & more luxurious houses & clothes !! , Clothes i hear ...

Review of Test Drive Unlimited (Xbox 360)

ive just completed this game so here are my thoughts. If you like cars and bikes you should love this , set on Hawaii you can drive or ride all over the island with no loading times at all , it really is great fun. you get to do races to win money , with your money you can buy faster cars and houses to keep them in. You can even customise your charecter and but them new clothes etc , this really isnt a game you will get bored with. I dont have ...
...a problem but i have done all the missions i can and it says something like 45% complete so im assuming the rest of the game is online , which i think is a shame as everyone dosent have internet access for the xbox , i think any online gaming should be a bonus rather than the majority of the game. Anyway , cant fault the graphics or gameplay. Some of the sut screen interactions with other people are a bit wooden and comical but dosent take anything ...

...is by far the best Test Drive game made so far. The level of detail the developers have managed to cram onto the disc for the cars and island is amazing. With miles of roads to explore with a huge selection of cars to purchase you will not be dissappointed. Dotted around the island there is many challenges to participate in to earn cash to be able to buy new cars or even a bigger house with a bigger garage to fit your latest super-car into. When ...

Review of Test Drive Unlimited (Xbox 360)

I got this game included in my XBOX 360 bundle I bought from HMV. I chose it especially and did have my eye on getting it for quite some time before I managed to buy an actual 360 console. For those who aren't quite familiar with the game i'll go over a few quick details. You play the role of a driving entrepreneur moving to the island of Hawaii where the entire game is set. You start with a small cash sum and gradually you work your way up earning ...
...bikes, upgrades and houses. However, there is a twist. The entire game is online based and you will find other users from around the world driving right beside you as you travel around the vast driving landscape, which I can assure you is very very vast. This makes the game the first driving game of its kind and for that I give it 5/5 for originality. As you may have already gathered, you need an XBOX Live subscription to be able to use this game. ...

This is a very enjoyable game for the racing genre. It has good graphics and good gameplay. It can be played as a single player or multiplayer online, I have never used the online game. The single player game has plenty of content to keep you interested. There is an excelent array of cars to buy and this game will keep you going for a very long time. It has got varied races which can involve short circuits; long A to B and even a 120 miles lap ...

Review of Test Drive Unlimited (Xbox 360)

A good driving game which features motorbikes to add to the interest of the game. The roaming feature of the game is very refreshing to start with but becomes a hinderance by the end of the game when your just trying to do the final races, especially when you can't jump to roads you haven't been on previously. I can't really comment on the Xbox live features as i have not been on it before but I understand that it is very good. The only really bad ...
...by the end of the game which last up to an hour long and with traffic coming each way, concentration is essential for the entire race. Its very tiring! Overall a good game but not a patch on the Project Gotham Racing series which is far better for the experieced and unexperienced gamers. ...
