My only real gripe is you can't get out and shoot some of the idiot drivers. There's no excuse for that, other than "let's hack out this title on to the PS2 platform. So, unable to get past the substandard graphics and forced to drive with the hand held PS2 controller, I have actually spent very little time playing this g ame.
If this game had been released in , it might have been amazing. Being able to buy houses and luxury cars, graphs are good, butnot great. PROS: functional, intuitive and fun in shorts terms. CON: What happened with ferrari, bmw and porsche? I love the game play and how its setup, it is a little jerky with the drivers seat camera and only gives you a portion of the driving view, BUT it is to be expected with PS2.
Awesome game, Big world to drive in, 4. Players begin their career on the islands of Hawaii, where more than 1, miles of virtual open roads, mapped using authentic GPS data, await both casual and competitive drivers. Test Drive includes over licensed cars and motorcycles from such manufacturers as Ferrari, Jaguar, Ducati, Shelby, and Mercedes, each customizable with authentic performance parts earned by winning races, completing missions, entering tournaments, and more. Test your skills in nearly activities, including 44 time challenges, 51 speed challenges, 40 club challenges, and more, or just cruise the island picking up hitchhikers and accepting the occasional convoy missions.
Accumulating wealth will open up other opportunities in the game, such as buying new cars, clothes, upgrades, and even real estate. Race with more than licensed cars and motorcycles Drive across 1, miles of exotic Hawaiian roads Create custom racing clubs to meet with friends and challenge rival teams Customize your driver with a variet. No support for steering wheels It's kinda ridiculous for "the most luxury, exclusive and high end racing video game on Playstation 2" official website to not have support for steering wheels at all.
Test Drive Unlimited: I bought this as a replacement. Great game, bad console all an island to run, fantastic!. An incredible accomplishment on the PS2. While it has lost a few features compared to the version, most of the concept and game has remained intact, and remains enjoyable to play.
All this publication's reviews Read full review. Da Gameboyz. Compared only to PS2 racers, Test Drive Unlimited is a really impressive title, worthy of a purchase. The content is deceivingly deep and the replay value for fans of the title is excellent. A few aspects of Test Drive Unlimited have been lost in translation from the Xbox to the PlayStation 2, but even still, the game is an impressive piece of online-racing technology. Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK. Impressive, immense and pretty but somehow it fails to achieve greatness due to shortage of a variety of high-speed thrills.
Digital Entertainment News. It's a great game for cruising, and if you're looking for something to mellow out with after a hard day it's a great game. Hardcore race fans will want to look to other titles. User Reviews. Write a Review. Positive: 5 out of 5. Mixed: 0 out of 5. Negative: 0 out of 5.
I own 20 racing games on the PS2 and this is my absolute favorite and the game I spend the most and most enjoyable time with. Why is it that I own 20 racing games on the PS2 and this is my absolute favorite and the game I spend the most and most enjoyable time with. Why is it that great? For me game mechanics are very important, and this game has some really fun-realistic mechanics.
They are arcady enough to be easily learned and realistic enough to be deeply immersing. At no other PS2 game I ever felt the wheight of a vehicle and could tell the point the car is going to loose friction that good, as at TDU. The second thing I like is the freedom just to drive around and explore, if I feel like, and also to drive off the road.
There are more than tracks, so you don't get bored easily. More than the races in the game I enjoy the time trails and the challenges to have the highest speed in radar traps. The aim to earn enough money to buy a Lamborghini or a nice house at the seaside motivates on the one hand, on the other the addictive gameplay.
So many times I said to my self "okay, only one more try". The learning curve is perfect, because you can choose how much challenge you want: stay longer with the slower D class cars? Or try as quick as possible to win the "professional" and the "master" races, timetrails and radar traps?
The downsides are few and week: The graphics could have more variety and get boring after some hours. There are mountains in the west, dryer regions in the center, rocks in the south, but the size and type of the road is almost the same everywhere, the buildings differ little and the trees look also pretty similar everywhere. The other downside is the variety in things to do: There are only 4 different race types, races, timetrails, radar traps and club duels.
For GTA spoiled people this might be not enough missions. Even just in the single player mode. Test Drive Unlimited is one of my favorite games and surely one of the game which took the most of my time. I have to say that what I like so Test Drive Unlimited is one of my favorite games and surely one of the game which took the most of my time. I have to say that what I like so much is the relaxing simpleness and freedom the game brings. After a hard day of work I like just to cruise around for some time without any single race or challenge.
But then you get it starts: getting seduced to drive a race, getting money, saving to buy a new car, the new car getting faster, winning more money becaus of being faster, and buying another new car. This is so addictive, and very well balanced in this game. But the best of the game is great driving mechanics: I never played a playstation game where driving felt so real and the handling so much fun after getting a bit used to it.
The fun is that you really progress quickly as you drive. And you really feel the wheight of car, the strength of it's motor and so on. That's why every car feels so different and - although I am a car-hater in real life - I heard myself saying: This car really is fun. The downsides are the scenery which is nice but compared with other racing games pretty boring: Hawaii has some hills, beaches, volcanos, but in the game everything looks quite similar. No real dessert or jungle or mountain.
The second problem is the frustrating moments when the car gets stuck because of hitting a street lamp with some pixels of it's front and you loose as many seconds that you have to restart the race all over again. Although that happens some times, the frustration is limited, because you are allowed to repeat the race, which normally is not longer than 5 minutes, as often as you like.
The last thing I don't like is you are not allowed to use the analoge stick for accelerate and brake. But the positiv moments of the game are much stronger than the negetive ones. The design decision I like most, is that you can drive cross country almost everywhere, Hawaii seems to be cover with grass which is short enough to play golf on it, so you can flee from the road even in a sports car.
The challenges are not only races but also time trails and trying to be caught by speed traps with high speed. The police chases are nicely in the background of the game: this is not need for speed game. The tuning is just a simple choosing of three kinds of differently priced tuning kits: this is not an gran tourismo clone. There is no shooting and no tourbo.
And that is exactly the nice thing: An allmost simulation like arcade racer in an really non-linear free open world mode where you are invited to free roam and explore for hours and build your wealth for weeks. I live in in the 50th state, and I thought this game would be fun to play and watch since I live here in Hawaii.

Though it's not I live in in the 50th state, and I thought this game would be fun to play and watch since I live here in Hawaii. Though it's not accurate in the environments, as an expansive racing game it's fun!
I like being able to drive anywhere around the island, whether you wanna race or just cruise around the landscape! If you live in Hawaii, this will be more entertaining. Pretty good race, big island, many cars, but the PS2 port is cut off This game is a great driving game, and a pretty damn good racing game.
It has an expansive environment with lots to do and see.
