If you've played Test Drive Unlimited 1 and liked it, you'll love this one too.

Put it simply, it's kind of a cross between The Sims and a Massively Multiplayer Online Racing Game. You can buy clothes for your avatar , new buildings to stay in (redecorate them as well; they also provide you with parking space for your vehicles), gamble at the casino , e.t.c . There are single player and multiplayer races.

Races are divided into a bunch of classes :

C-Classic
A-Asphalt
B-Offroad

You need to get the driving license first for each discipline from their respective driving schools. So you'll have A7,A6,A5 e.t.c licenses that let you drive higher grade of cars.


There's a total of 2 islands , Ibiza and Hawaii. Both of them are quite extensively detailed with plenty of side roads disappearing into the wild. It costs around Rs.1800~ (40$ on steam) but is totally worth it. Best part of the game would probably be issuing insta-challenges to any player you meet on the road by simply flashing your headlights.

The game also pays good attention to some minor details. For example, if you're driving the Bugatti Veyron (goes upto 407 km/hr) and brake hard and stop , you'll notice the wheels have actually turned RED due to the heat.

I could stay and give you an extended review, but I'm at work now lol. Have to finish this web application :(

Hmm Like Grid ??
I think Grid was also a semi simulator. I am specially talking about controls only not anything else. What it is like???

Gird was a perfect simulator. You might feel difference in controlling because of the physics engine. But, grid controls are no way forgiving, except if you turn on all the assists.

^^ Dunno about TDU2, but TDU1, i like the controls. It feels like driving a real car. I guess the price of TDU2 will not that high....

TDU2 controls are like mix of Aracde and simulation. It is almost like arcade, but we have to take care of traction while turning and on dirt roads. And also there is ample amount of anti steering to do. These all come in only on Pro and Hardcore mode. In beginner setting, cars feel almost like arcade racer.

I played it and ditched it after couple of hours. It was fun for a while.. but there were so many bugs and performance issues. So, couldn't stand it after playing for couple of hours.

I can't say for sure. I dtiched it coz of busy schedule.. (TWFC2, Bulletstorm, TV shows, DeadSpace, etc). And game's Bugs and Performances added to that.

Give it a shot. Its a unique game.

LOL. Seriously you have drive a boat in racing game. Nah man I am not giving it a try.

Uh.. I think you misread that. The game's intro shows your character partying on a boat , that's all. It's a pretty long intro, but it lets you drive a Ferrari early on.

And yes, the game does have some bugs...such as being unable to login to the servers occasionally (this should actually be fixed today). Controls aren't as good as TDU1 (you'll need to tweak controller settings a bit) , but the next patch should address this.
