Bought Test Drive Unlimited 2 (PC) on Tuesday, May 17th. It was on sale for $10 at Direct2Drive. After experiencing the flashy presentation of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, Test Drive Unlimited 2 comes off as a bit bland. That works in favor of the relaxed nature of the game where you can spend all day cruising the roads of Ibiza or Hawaii. Another difference between the two games is the sim-lite driving model of Test Drive Unlimited 2. No more easy power slides to build up a boost bar; instead it is careful braking to hit a turn's apex at the maximum possible speed. I'm quite enjoying the driving Test Drive Unlimited 2 is offering. However, I could do without some contextual elements in the game. The awful Solar Crown story and cosmetic surgery are minor negatives for me. It would be so much nicer to have no story and no explanation for customizing your avatar's face.
