Probably, looked better on paper... Test Drive is an Old title and this one isn't beating any other driving games out there. The cool thing about this game is the Size of area to drive around in...
The game plays like that game FUEL, but not as good as graphics, nor driving elements. You are able to free roam in the game, and are able to "customise" your driving character -- How that becomes relevant when you are in the car--is beyond me.
The story goes -- You start out as a Valet driver just dreaming of having fancy cars and one day you are given the ability to compete in a variety of races.
There is three type of driving classes.
Asphalt - street...
Classic - street with no real differences from Asphalt
Offroad - Off road
The game a lot of cool features -- As long as you are not playing for the driving simulation - You will be happy.
Driving physics are clunky; I had a curb knock me back when driving slowly; I had a bush knock me back into the street when I was flooring it... Not just a gently shove--as in knock--a violent hurl back...
There is no positrak concept -- You peel out easily, it is like driving on ice, there is this annoying high pitched sound at high speeds that makes you think your speaker is damaged(sounds like rustling paper)....
You are able to, buy hair-styles... Different clothes... Differnt homes... Customise your home, with furniture and other doodads... You can also go to dealerships.
The multiplayer is neat -- Right away they throw you into a free roam with other online players... Yes--just like the racing game FUEL... With a lot of exotic cars... But not much driving functionality... You might not find the driving simulator fun... But you might like to deck-out your home or like to play with random people, in the MASSIVE online world of Test Drive Unlimited....
