How does 2 compare to the original? The difference is night and day – and vehicle damage./p
pTest Drive Unlimited was a pretty big Xbox 360 title when it came out in 2006. It was a prime example of the potential of Xbox Live online multiplayer, allowing the player to see other drivers playing the game online, dropping in and out of races on the fly. It was a little buggy, sure, but we liked it./p
pNow Eden and Atari team up once again for Test Drive Unlimited 2, giving players a whole new island and features that should make this second installment far superior to the first. Weather effects, a day and night cycle, and vehicle damage up the ante in the sequel, with a revamped single player narrative mode that you can play both on and offline./p
p”After the highly successful Test Drive Unlimited which redefined the genre with massively open online racing, Test Drive Unlimited 2 will be an innovative evolution in racing games, expanding its unparalleled multiplayer experience and immersing players in a world full of new online content and lifestyle customization.” said Jeff Lapin, CEO of Atari, SA. “The game fits squarely into our strategy of moving online and generating new revenue streams while maintaining our current retail business.”/p
pTest Drive Unlimited 2 is due out this fall on the Xbox 360, PC, and the PlayStation 3./ppa rel=”lytebox” href=”http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/03/test_drive_unlimited_2-ps3__xbox_360___pcscreenshots25833tdhr000098_copy.jpg”img src=”http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/03/500x_test_drive_unlimited_2-ps3__xbox_360___pcscreenshots25833tdhr000098_copy.jpg” class=”left image500″ width=”500″ title=”Test Drive Unlimited Returns”//abr
