Test Drive Unlimited 2 - A surprise
By krummi 4 Comments
Only things I heard of the game was that its a dumbed down (if that even is possible) version of the previous one. Was going to pass it altogether but due to some weird error I got some pre-order bonus codes so why not buy it - it cant be that bad surely.
And now Im hooked.
Yes there is absolutely no realism in the feel of driving psychics. Like driving a train on raiway tracks. Then the controls are full of weird and stupid things, like I couldnt get my choice for the first car at all when trying to control the avatar with the Microsoft wheel (Lotus was so low that I couldnt get the reticule low enough by crouching - yes you cannot move it vertically with the wheel). The map is virtually impossible to scroll with the wheel as well. All in all I have to constantly joggle between the wheel and a pad but still its huge fun just to drive around Ibiza (dont want to go to Hawaii before I have won all competitions on the tiny spanish island).
If I werent such a antisocial brick this would be 1000/1000 game for sure.
Oh, the "plot" in the dirst one was miles better; "Welcome to Hawaii, heres some money, buy a flat and a car and have fun." No godawful cutscenes with godawful player models and godawful voicework. Is it spelt 'godawful' or 'god awful'?
