I work on racing video games as my job and somehow still like them enough to make UA-cam videos in my spare time. Mainly covering Test Drive Unlimited on this channel, but I love all racing games up and down the arcade to simulation spectrum.
Test Drive Unlimited 2 - The Complete Review
With TDU2 online services recently restored by the Project Paradise 2 mod, its time to dive deep into every single online and offline element of Test Drive Unlimited 2 for a final review before TDUSC launches in 2023.
Whether you're discovering the game for the first time or wondering if it holds up all these years later, I've tried to explain everything so it can be understood by new and experienced players. This is the ultimate TDU2 retrospective. Enjoy!

Is this another one of thjose games I have to buy with a subway gift card?
I like more the first one, but still, way better than anything new on the market. ❤
The most amazing part of this video is someone from the Uk saying "Ibiza" right
I doubt schmucks from my old country can pronounce other nations right too.
There were Sport Bikes in the first game
The multiplayer instant race challenge in tdu1 allows you to set the length, route and the cash pot for the winner!
Its a litterally bit like an automotive based gta without griefers and shark cards. sounds honestly more fun.
i hated tdu2 but today i learned it has a cat. thank you fro changing my life
Lmao the physics where the best part it’s an arcade game with sim racing physics it was great and I used to max out my frim drifting everytime I played lol
lol 11 years later and not working 100% and tdu2 is still better than all forza horizons put together lol
algorithm
Kick ass thorough review man. Much nostalgia 🥂
Whats with the RPM gauges of this game. Sounds are crap, and engines dont even rev realistically with the RPM's. so lame...
I Honestly dont even think the new one is gonna have anything close to what this had..... Unfortunately game companies dont try new things anymore..... But we can hope.....
They won't try, considering the "Hong Kong" they replicated looked bland as hell, even less exotic than Sleeping Dogs.
had to revisit the game, so recently bought a bulk of games i used to own on the 360 to play them again. unfortunately, my main save file on my then xbox live account is only accessible if i update the game to the newest version, which doesnt update for me lol so then i just decided to start fresh from my current xbox account, and boy am i having a great time. granted, no online features due to the server shut down, but regardless the singleplayer alone is still heaps of fun for me. the ai are much slower than i remembered, and the physics are quite good at least from the limits im able to reach with each class. cautiously optimistic for solar crown since they announced its going to be permanently online, which sucks considering what recently happened to the crew. one can hope
Honestly, my all time favorite feature of TDU2 was the dealer experience and the homes. Having an avatar who can walk through the world and immerse me in the vehicle buying process, living/vehicls storage experience, etc is so nice. PGR4 was the only other game I can think of that got close with their own weird housing feature.
Best game till this day
if TDU 2 had current graphics and more of the map detailed this would still be a fun game now!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you add in need for speed music over the police chase section? Hahaha gold
I have a few problems like one wreck is missing so I won't be able to complete Treasure Hunt. I have a few Clothes and Furniture but it has not given me any XP for that. What could be the problem? Could you also share the DirectX fix that you used?
I have enabled F.R.I.M but no money is getting added to my cash balance even after it shows a tock and highlights BANK. What could be the problem?
Wait the online mod works on the 360!? Plz someone tell me how to do it
I remember losing my progression stats and having to start over as a broke boy. Damn near cried. Lost my Bugattis and Ferraris.
Literally playing this now, but the handling with a T300RSGT feels close to Forza Horizon 4 and 5, maybe even Heat... just a bit more grippy. On controller though on Sport settings, it feels like driving in Vice City. Here are my settings: Thrustmaster Control Panel: 540 degrees, everything else your preference In game: Game Settings: Driving Aid:Hardcore Controller Configuration: Vibration: Max Steering Sensitivity: 0 Deadzone: 0 Hope this helps anyone out there.
like ghost recond wildlands car physics, lol
but the open world here and residences were amazing
I think the reason and sole reason tdu is coming back after such a long hiatus just bcuz of how so far ahead they were for their time, almost every aspect from tdu 1 and 2 is implemented in the newest racing games every year, forzavista was literally ripped right out of tdu 1 and that’s is one of the things forza is praised for
Two questions please if you or anyone knows about Solar Crown: 1) Isn't the game still set to be a live service release? (basically requiring an internet connection to play/launch and also ofc meaning they can [and they always do at some point] simply kill the whole game at their time of choosing) - Or did they eventually listen to the core fan base and not decide to ruin the whole experience... (?) 2) Will player homes now be available on release? Last I heard they were going to introduce this ESSENTIAL feature later on at some undisclosed point in time **sigh** ... Thanks.
Is there proximity voice chat now? Thanks!
Imagine if this game got a RTX Remix done to it. It woulld look bloody insane.
This game even has how many miles you drove
Playing it rn on my ps3 😊
And it works? I ordered the game for my PS3 to
Gta 5 def took some driving from this game
One of the best games ever made
*masterpiece*
12 years later I don't have a pc for this game.
43:57 song name?
Text chat is not essential, rather focus on driving than typing. And sure, if you're stuck with 2 - 3 other players in a free roam session of an almost dead games, sure everyone is going to try to be friendly. But if modern open world games have 1000s of players, then it can heat up pretty quickly.
Do you have a link for direct x fix mod please?
Hi
I don’t not care for Drifting this game is for me
I have played this game in the past, but never gave it a fair shot. Will play it completely soon. There's a lot of game here. A true gem. Sad to see it was not given the care and love it deserves. I own it on steam but it cannot be bought anymore
Will this be on ps4????
This is a game that can't be defeated by fh5 or any other modern car simulation games
Thanks for the effort! Great video! I bought it for the ps3 a couple of weeks ago and I'm having a blast
I think this is what GTA would be nowadays if in the original GTA they didn't have the police bug.

I just got back into TDU the original and so far I'm enjoying the driving physics even though drifting is still not great. And I started off driving to the top of the map doing the $20K every two minutes to get money started. Once I unlock the race where I use the S7 twin turbo Saleen turn 15K every 20 seconds. I can't remember what the third one was but I think it's 60k every 20 seconds. Towards the upper middle of once it's unlocked. I wish the game offered more customization, however I do enjoy what the game has. I used to have all the car packs and realistic mode with working suspension. That was super fun.
Forza Horizon got their barn find system from this game.
license tests not challenging?? u wot mate :D
Oh jesus the nostalgia is kicking hard ..
TDU is the GOAT when it comes to open world racing, it was decades ahead of everything else and still is by todays shitty standards.
