Xbox 360 Test Drive Unlimited 2 (Racing, Eden Games)

Mais algumas informações! Tradução feita da revista Gamereactor

With Test Drive Unlimited, Eden changed the racing genre and even if their wide dream racing on Oahu quickly became eventless they have sky-high ambitions for the second …

You know what it usually looks like. A few menus, a virtual garage, a hell of a lot of feared rides, and a big load of fenced off tracks to go round and round on. With Test Drive Unlimited, Eden wanted to expand the experience. Give you a life outside the cars, a fancy Mexican brick villa on the sunny Hawaii and a better feeling of how it actually is to be a part of some exclusive club for owners of Aston Martins or Ferraris. This is something that Eden with Test Drive Unlimited 2 wants to expand further; to really give a complete feeling of how it really is to be a true sports car cruiser.

One of the unique aspects of Test Drive Unlimited was the enormous game-world. More than 1500 kilometres of road was available to drive on, located on Oahu in Hawaii. This feels like nothing compared to Test Drive Unlimited 2 which is a whole 2.5 times bigger and is enacted on the Spanish island of Ibiza, mostly known for its gigantic beach parties. One of the reasons that you’ve chosen Ibiza is because the variation in the environment. Here, dense forests crowds with enormous flat surfaces, big mountain groups with picturesque ruins and of course modern cities.
One of the big gaming news is that you this time will be able to compete together with buddies in co-op. One person is the mapreader and will steer the driver through the courses, which will give a massive advantage if you manage to negotiate the road in a good way. Otherwise much is what it used to be, you can cruise along the Ibiza streets and challenge someone to a bit of racing when you wish. The multiplayer lobby has also been replaced by another system that lets you explore the opponents rides while they get ready to race.
The end result almost reminds you a bit of an online role-playing game where a group of players together can start their own car clubs, race against others or just drive around and enjoy together along the twisty roads of Ibiza. Well, or off them, now there’s also well ventured SUV’s to drive around in for better use of the areas that haven’t been paved into something fun. Eden has also been working on real damage models so you’ll be fine twisting metal, scratch paint and/or just wrap your ride around a big tree after some careless driving.

To get anywhere in Test Drive Unlimited 2 you obviously need money. But there is also a system with experience points divided into four sections this time. Eden was a bit secretive around the whole thing during our visit, but if you’re not a rally-ace, maybe you’re better at the social part and may get your coveted points that way. So in a nutshell, you can reach success, both by daredevil driving, by being chased by the police or just by staying alive. What you then earn you can spend on a little more luxurious living. Maybe you’ll pimp your shack to become more than just a appendage to the garage, get the latest fashion for your driver, equip your car better or get different types of sponsorship for the car club, as a bigger and better club will give you better possibilities in the entertainment establishment.
At a first glance, graphically there are better games than Test Drive Unlimited 2 , but when you start to study it more deeply the amount of detail is almost astonishing. And you can’t forget that Test Drive Unlimited 2 is almost as much related to sandbox games like Grand Theft Auto as it is to normal racong games and there is not a square centimetre of Ibiza that you can’t drive on. And despite that you are sometimes far away from the roads, everything is worked out in detail with lots of little secrets to discover. Furthermore, the day has finally got its 24 hours, so now you can race both during the day, night and the hours in between which gives Ibiza a highly varying character.

Test Drive Unlimited was never as noticed as it actually deserved to and modernised the racing genre quite a bit. With test Drive Unlimited 2, Eden takes the full step and tries to create a full simulation of the life as a super rich sports car cruiser, and it looks extremely good.

Leiam que vale a pena :)
 
O primeiro estava excelente e não há nada parecido. Vamos ver como fica o segundo. A possibilidade do Co-Op com map reader vai valer muitas gargalhadas :-D
 
Nem conhecia este jogo lol
Tenho que ver se saco a demo no live, se gostar do 1 ainda vejo se o arranjo usado a um bom preço, assim dá para esperar que este sai e baixe de preço :p
 
E fazes muito bem, é um belo jogo que dá para desfrutar durante dias e dias (só a campanha). :)

Infelizmente, quando joguei o primeiro foi com o perfil do meu irmão, sem achievements e depois ainda fiquei sem o save :|

Umas das que mais gosto de fazer são missões de entregar "mercadoria" ou os carros sem levarem nenhum toque :D Não sei se na demo terás oportunidade de ver essas.
 
Desta vez imagens! :D Looks good :)

mt bom o trailer.....

Espero que para o jogo ser mesmo bom, que tenha um sistema de danos digno......
joguei o 1º e gostei

cumps.
 
5 estrelas impecavel, acho que ate a minha esposa vai querer jogar(ela ja tinha gostado do primeiro)
compra mais qu certa
acho que so falta ter chuva e neve e ficava o melhor jogos de carros jamais feito XD
 
Ainda me lembro que nao dava nada pelo primeiro, e entrei na Beta por insistencia de um amigo. Ao jogar nao gostei dos graficos nem da fisica, mas nao sei porque nao conseguia parar de jogar:007: É mesmo viciante, é um daqueles jogos que o que conta é mesmo o divertimento que se tem e nao a tecnica que está por tras.

Acho optimo que eles tenham realizado bastantes pedidos, espero é que tenha um pouco mais de variedade em termos de provas (talvez Drag, drift ou assim). Ah! e espero que a Millionare's Challange seja tao boa como no primeiro e que se possa correr contra outros. (No primeiro tinha a Tour of the Island mas a pista era mais curta)

Este ja estava como compra certa bem antes de sequer ser apresentado:001:

Cumps.
