Players gain Competition experience by participating in races, gain collection experience by buying some of the different luxury items in the game and gain Discovery points by simply driving on new roads, finding new shops, car dealers and so on. A level cap of 60 is introduced, divided into four sub-categories of 15 levels each namely Competition, Collection, Discovery and Community. The game also has a very structured levelling system, useful when dealing with so many different variables.


Players are also given large worlds to explore, with these getting even bigger as you progress through the game, as the starting area of Ibiza opens up to the wider Hawaiian island of Oahu. Need to earn that new license? You''ll have to follow your GPS to the racing school first.

The game sets players into a fairly free roaming environment, a nice change, with players having to physically drive to different locations in the gameworld.

Luckily, through a slightly confusing set of circumstances we''re given the opportunity to prove ourselves on the road, and before you know it you''ll be on your way to the top of the professional racing circuit. You know, the guy who parks rich people''s cars, that''s you. Instead of starting out as a loaded playboy (or girl), the game sees you donning the handsome valet uniform of one of the island''s hotels. We take the car out for a spin, and everything is going fine until a loud knock rudely plucks us from the dream. While dancing and enjoying the expensive party snacks, we''re called down by our partner to come and take a look at our brand new birthday present, a shiny red Ferrari. The game starts off showing a rather decadent birthday party taking place for none other than yours truly. This however is where TDU2 differs, it''s not that the story is going to keep you from driving, don''t worry, but it does something more than the usually empty narrative sequences. *PS : if people wondering, TDU1 came even more back in 2006, but i was a child at that time, so i can only guess that sadly most people were too busy "Worshipping" the Need For Speed series, and did not hear about it, thus it failed.Racing games don''t usually have much of a story attached to them, and if they do it''s a very quickly contrived, “you are a racer, go race”, affair. but it will be made from another developer, so no one should hold their breaths for it. Its said there is new test drive game in the works, TDU3. and they just attract the new people with the "pretty graphics", but very shallow otherwise. but the proof that it was amazing is that FORZA developers are still trying their best to copy what TDU2 was, but they doing it in a lot less effort and heart. people overlooked it due to bad marketing and probably also due to its "unusual" name too. The game was brilliant in MANY ways, and its bad qualities was a lot "LESS" than its good ones. not because it had no faults, but because it had the most "Balance" in all of them.ġ- it had decent graphics for its time.Ģ- it had the biggest open world map in a cars game in history.ģ- it had Character Creation and Customization.Ĥ- it had actual clothes shops in the maps to find and purchase new look from.ĥ- it had Property/Houses Owning and Customizations.Ħ- it had an "arcadey" feeling of driving, but also wanted to give a feel of simulation in the mood which gave a balanced overall outcome.ħ- it had the best "purchasing" system any cars game could offer, done through actual car dealer shops that exist on the map, and you were able to manually interact with cars on foot and even sit inside and check the cars in depth and detail.Ĩ- it had the best map menu design, it was revolutionary at the time.ĩ- it had photo mode, even when it was not common at all back then.ġ0- it had lots of nice side activties.ġ1- it had the ability to create your custom goals and challenges in EDITOR MODE.ġ2- it had few nice dlcs, and 1 of them added BIKES to the game.ġ-lack of some popular cars due to licenses and money issues.ģ-the inability to make custom radio stations.Ĥ-bad online design that did not allow LAN or future proof solution. Test drive unlimited 2 was the "BEST" title ever made in cars.

Test drive unlimited 2 came back in 2011 when people were kinda still in "need for speed" bubble, so from what i remember is that everyone was just hating on almost ANY cars games just because it became too common at that period, and felt "logical" to do so for them due to how NFS series was failing, so they just refuse trying new games.
