I love how they called one of the greatest, if not THE greatest, Rally cars in the world a "shit box"

i like how the first-person camera angle makes it look like you're twelve-feet tall or something in comparison to these tiny, tiny people.

I would like to thank the makers of this game for not making a sequel every damn year. A franchise shouldn't have more than three entries per generation, come freakin' on..., 
 
 
Okay this quick look is WAY better than it deserves to be. Not a knock on the game, but I was not expecting that level of unintentional humor.

I really like this game. The off-road stuff is great, and driving around two huge islands is just cool as hell by itself.

Navarro can be pretty grating. He needs to cut back on the snark.

The flag in the hotel cutscene is on backwards. 
  
Wow. 
 
Imagine a game set in Washington having the US flag with the stars opposite of the pole. That's just... shameful.

Never played Test Drive, but this piqued my interest. Would probably wait until the price comes down though. Takes some ideas from Burnout Paradise and other ideas from Forza 2.

@Mikewrestler5: The whiney annoying voice, the fact he clings to one joke and drags it out over and over till it's dead in this case the whole europe thing which, speaking as someone from Europe i never actually understood cause that games..not like any European country I've been to and I've been to a fair few.
 
Every comment he makes is one of the following;
A compliment to himself, usually pretty subtle about it.
A snarky, sarcastic comment.
Just bullshit.
 
That's why I don't like him. You did ask.
 
Oh and watch the quick look with him doing that Quiz game er something Jack. Dude can't ever admit when hes wrong. It's just OH YEAH I KNEW THAT. Piss off.

Alex has some good commentary... but You can tell the jokes that come naturally and the ones he really tries for. He needs to just let it flow...

I played a shit ton of Test Drive Unlimited (seriously, like 95 hours of it.) And what the fuck, Eden Games?
 
I don't remember anything this crazy in TDU. TDU 2 is just mind boggling with all the weird shit they put in the game.

And Brad spends the last few minutes harassing another driver.  
 
This game looks weird with all of the out of the car first person stuff, and then the game jumps into third person for cut scenes in the middle of the first person bits. But, you can drive a Mustang so I can't hate on the game.

My girlfriend left the room because she can't stand Alex's voice. Dude sounds like he's trying too hard, however it was nice he was herding Brad around. That dude needs a keeper or something otherwise he would just spend way too much time being confused by menus. Case in point: When Ryan joined the STO quicklooks. That and it seems like maybe driving games aren't quite Brad's thing.
 
Also who else thought of Waverace: Blue Storm whenever you heard any voice acting? I don't know why but that's what I kept thinking about. 
 
This actually looks pretty cool too. After I saw the map I was sold. Plus the weird story aspect of it just makes it that much better. The mp stuff seems fun to mess around with too.  Ooh and it's only 40 bucks on PC. That's rad.

Is there a reason it's always Alex and nor Rorie on quicklooks that have non GB people? That dude is a million times more entertaining.

I don't really think he has to try at all. That seems how he is to me. 
 
Which is to say, pretty funny.

Trying too hard at...speaking? That's his voice. I really don't think he would "front" how his voice sounds every single day, for the last  6 years or however long he's been a part of video game media.
