Test Drive Unlimited PC: my impressions

2007 19 03 2007

Well done I bought today the PC version of Test Drive Unlimited and I come here to deliver my first impressions after a few hours of games. The game is engraved on a DVD like most games now. Insertion into the drive and install finalized a few minutes later I started and began to create my character. The game is also supplied with a large map of the island on which the combined diffrérents manufacturers and who roads flanks. On a beautiful quality, it will be very useful then keep on hand at all times.

Thursday pocket

Initially, you are in an airport and several people are queuing up to fly to the island in which you changed throughout your journey. So I took one male, one for me not take the lead and that is that I like most: it's good. You can recognize me if one day we crossed the street.

Then mounted on the plane, takeoff, landing and I find myself in the lobby of the airport while costs of the Boeing landed. Even an ad for this brand then that Airbus is in the Panades. Directorate renting cash to finally start my first turns of wheels. My Logitech Formula GP wheel with force feedback is operational and I go straight into the blue sky SLK and rents for the lowest duration.

I hold the view inside game because driving is really nice. The views outside, for my part is played at the pad and interior views at the wheel. Once driving, you must follow the guidance of GPS ask you to make a point marked on the map flashes red. For the moment I find it excellent, rendering speed is very good without exaggeration as a typical arcade games. I took one or two cars full face. They will shoot me at the store location.

Then good direction at a dealer and then as the first car I advise everyone the Audi TT quattro of 225 horses. It works very well and you can easily acquire a little money to spend history to the next step. The M key on your keyboard lets you view the map of the island in order to get places quickly on race. You then become a driver starting from five races where you finish first.

Having garnered $ 38 000, I went to Nissan to buy the fund that I would one day be true, a 350Z whose publishing in the game a bit since it is only 280 HP but good is not very serious. We can see the whole potato hand on the rear wheels and unlike the TT, ca patina dry on the first two reports. Both cars are both too fast. Just a few more races and walk alone along the highways in the game before attacking the player multiplayer mode.

And here we create her nickname and is valid, taking care not to make a duplicate in the game At first I thought it was necessary to create an account on the site GameSpy and in fact, not at all, you create a new pseudo directly within the mutli stake is pretty special exits from home and after 20 seconds we begin to see points appear on the map in the bottom left with distances. And then shortly after less and less, finally brief summary for 1900 despite the players listed, I think ultimately very few people on the roads. Luckily, a guy in F430 spider propose a duel, I agree with my unfortunate 350Z. What is funny is that it is offering this face to face that charge to draw the line and you can see live mark the intermediate points. I launches, I am about 400 meters and inevitably after I do see more. The road was very winding. Well ok, it's not a good excuse.

The lack of player Freeride that we think is somewhat offset by the presence of courses that can be quickly and join in this case there are many opponents ready to confront. I continued to do some shopping for a car purchase classified F because there is obviously the way categories of Gran Turismo. So I decided to buy for $ 72 000 a corvette C6. I could take the Z06 was good but a little too expensive. In all this, the first and second report goes very quickly, but the car has a very nice extension fourth and fifth.

I stopped for the moment to that. But I will tell you about in other articles in this game for the moment after traveling 9% of the game Test Drive Unlimited is in my opinion very good. I have not yet joined a club or a consolidation Freeride to monitor several players without automatically lose but I already new clothes and 3 cars in my garage.

Deeply Logitech G25 in any event to benefit even more.
