Fun arcade style racing...
Not a sim - which to me is a good thing - it looks very nice, plays fun, has enough depth to be interesting but not tedious. The cars look and sound great - overall a really good arcade style racing game. Rating:

More fun than a barrel full of Maseratis
Amazing, almost photo-realistic tour of Maui. Works SO much better with a steering wheel than a gamepad (I got a Logitech Momo force-feedback wheel.) I haven't even scratched the surface yet. Online multiplayer holds much promise. Lots of fun! Rating:

Worse Driving Game Ever
I'm a big "Test Drive" Fan. Even from the days it was great, just driving, etc. Even before the whole NFS series. This game is horrible. Don't waste your time. You have to have a career in this game just to be able to buy cars, etc. Kills all the fun.
First, you have to buy a "house." Why? I can see buying cars, but a house??? Anyway, it's like you need a strategy guide for this thing just to know how to make $.
Please, I have a life, I don't need to have this thing.

Good arcade driving with excelent graphics
TDU is an arcade driving game with TONS of cool ultramodern supercars (like the McLaren and the Ferrari 450) and older classics (like the older Corvettes and the Mercedes GullWing - which is a very nice touch.) The graphics of the game are VERY photo-realistic. The cars and the scenery are very beautiful. The passerby cars (city life) are not very beautiful but it's alright. Having said that, I must say that I have a 8800GTX video card and 2Gb RAM which allows me to enjoy seamless video. People with lesser hardware might run into problems.
This game also has an online option where if you create an online profile, you can free-roam the streets of Oahu with other players, (kind of like NFS Underground 2) and challenge them to "outrun" sort of races (also like in NFS Underground 2) wagering as much money as you want.
The driving of this game is clearly very arcade-like and is far from simulation-type games.
Overall I enjoy this game a very much and would recommend it to others. Rating:

HD video DVD, rather a PC game
The graphics are HD quality, with Hawaii roads, you will definitely you will enjoy to watch the game.
With my Logitech Momo wheels, I could play all other race/road games without problem. Other games has superior ability to detect the wheel control compared Test drive. May be this game is good for other devices like Xbox/PS etc, but definitely do not have better control with logitech device.
Second thing is mouse control during the game play is not stable.
The patches they release will proof of the inability of this game.
Recomended for who wants to watch the HD DVD of Hawaii rather than play this game.
Also visit their forum, before purchase of this game. |
