This is suppose to be a new game, it looks like its 10 years old. Yet the game thinks its crysis or something, my Pc is pretty decent and i get frame rate drops or stutters. The driving physics are horrendous and give zero sensation of actually driving a car, even on my G27 wheel. The sound is sub par the voice acting is sub par the menus are sub par, everything about this game is sub par. I was totally looking forward to this game and right from the beginning It managed to totally disappoint me. Starting with the games inability to start in full screen followed by ancient looking graphics and the final nail in the coffin the driving sucks. A game called test drive should have half decent driving. What a waste of $40, atari... your done...

Comparing this game to GRID a 3 year old game. Look at the graphics and in these screen shots the graphics are not optimised.

While TDU2 is just TDU1 with some new features and is completely underwhelming on all levels - you can't really compare a sanbox style game to a completely different styled game like GRID.


The 'story' , old engine, poor framerate etc could be forgiven if the driving was actually fun. Failing miserably in that area is indeed the final nail in the coffin.

It's just yet another over-hyped lacklustre title under the Atari banner.
