Test Drive Unlimited: Review

In September last year Test Drive Unlimited The triumphal march went along the Xbox 360. Rainbow technique "unlimited" The iterations of the famous racing series were provided, as gaming journalists, up to a single project, and the owners of the console themselves, which, of course, liked a high-quality nextgen-raising. And now the brainchild Atari got to the RS. Got intact and preservation.

Dumplings Eden Games not so simple for understanding. Not that the concept "Arcade race" it was new for owners of personal computers, no. Test Drive Unlimited is more than "Extreme driving simulator", This, if you want, is a lifestyle. Understanding what is happening will come to you from the first minutes of the game, at the moment when the hero arrives at Oha 200,000 evergreen American presidents in the rear pocket of the jeans – the amount sufficient to acquire a new iron "friend".

Freedom of action is amazing. Oahu is not only a reliably simulated tropical island, this is a whole universe in which crazy speeds and expensive cars rule the ball. The game world is a single whole. There are alien concepts such as the recharge of locations and the change of level. However, the most amazing is the fact that you will constantly perform various actions, most of which occur in real life. It is incomprehensible? Then I will give an example. Suppose you wanted to buy yourself a fashionable mansion with a huge garage, so that there is enough space for the entire personal fleet. A good desire, for the implementation of which it is necessary to find an agent in real estate and only then think over the purchase of housing. Or take at least the process of changing transport. We go to a special menu, select the car you like and pay the amount of the amount. So everything happens in the vast majority of racing simulators, but not in Test Drive Unlimited. First, it is advisable to find the store first, personally inspect each car, conduct a free test drive and only then count the right number. Everything is like adults.

Each element of the game is implemented at a very high level, even characters. To your choice, a large collection of fans of fast and female riding. A curious moment – you can put various things on a protagonist, as in some GTA: San Andreas. Fashionable clothing boutiques are scattered throughout the island, however, to purchase "SHOMS" The usual money is not suitable – sellers recognize only special tokens that are outstanding for victories in the races. Thus, with the proper level of skill and a bit of luck, you will easily dress your ward with the latest fashion. It’s a pity only the topic of plastic surgery in the game is not disclosed.

Alas, the developers were too carried away on the little things and forgot a little about the main thing – iron tuning "horses". No, local cars are easily modernized by purchasing the desired goods from dealers (which you need to look again), but the range of spare parts is very limited. Machine refinement is extremely simple. New components increase certain parameters of the car, mainly its speed, and all. Of course, fans of thin settings can delve into a meager tech and squeeze a little more from the car than it should – everyone else should not bother.
In surprise, a negative imprint on the project of the scarcity of tuning mode does not apply. Test Drive Unlimited Takes to others.

This game does not need to spend the day, picking in the hood of the new TVR. Here you will be shown and tell you how to squeeze all the juices from the new TVR as efficiently as possible and devote all opponents on it. The single-mode is very long. Upon completion of all 100 stages, try to walk on online servers. A bunch of fresh emotions and unlike anything else racing "Expirence" Guaranteed.

Oha – a huge island, by the standards of video games. There is something to do the real king of roads in his open spaces. There are several different types of races here: classic races, races for a while, competition for demonstrating speed indicators, transportation of expensive cars, passengers and delivery of goods. For the successful execution of missions, awards and cash prizes are awarded, as well as a reputation among other drivers is slightly growing. Some tasks have to be carried out, extremely carefully maintaining the car, some – rushing faster than the wind. Fast riding is not always the best solution. For the injuries, in certain situations, you can easily get a fine or additional time. Sometimes, however, I really want to give a damn about the rules of the traffic rules and cut off the last turn before the finish, but the looming prospect of punishment makes the horses torn from under the hood.

Since money plays a decisive role in the world Test Drive Unlimited, will have to obey local laws. A good way to earn extra money is to transport cargo or a block of car. The latter is a separate song. Only notorious extremals can afford on someone else’s exclusive four -wheeled monster. Assessed final damage can leave you without the last penny. 40 km/h on polished "Ferrari" In terrible traffic – a typical phenomenon. Perhaps this is the first game in which there is a genuine desire to stop at every traffic light. The final payment depends on the quality of work, so you have to sweat.

Despite the impressive size of the island, the movement on it does not cause any problems – thanks to the convenient GPS navigation system. On the map it is allowed to install "WayPoints", indicating the whereabouts of evens or buildings. In special cases, do not disdain the possibility of teleporting to the desired point. When playing in network mode in the radar, the movement of the rest of the players is displayed around the city.

The widely advertised multiplayer regime is impressive. Of course, name Test Drive Unlimited The language does not rotate a full -fledged MMO, but 100% Development of Eden Studios devotes its competitors to several buildings. The Internet space lives its life, where even a harmless headlight of headlights can be perceived by another player as a challenge. Carling out in skill with living opponents can be both in predetermined competitions and created by yourself. In this case, the organizer of the race, regardless of the final location of the places, the tenth of the prize fund departs. Fans to create various communities will undoubtedly be happy to organize various clubs.

In the game, there was a place not only four -wheeled means of movement. Along with the best representatives of the world automotive industry, motorcycles are also popular in OHA, in my opinion, the most difficult control of transport in the game. This can only be checked in multiplayer. In fact, management will become the main stumbling block for most gamers. The physical model in the game is built in a rather specific way. However, you get used to it in a couple of hours.

As for the graphics, then here Test Drive Unlimited Full order Casino Stellare revisione. Surrounding island landscapes are one of the most beautiful in the genre. This is especially felt in bright sunlight, when the picturesque nature begins to swim in the warm rays of the heavenly luminary. Car models are made with love. Sincere words of gratitude developers deserve for the almost photorealistic implementation of the salon. Functioning devices, visible speed switching, the possibility of a viewing of 180 degrees – bravo, Eden Studios. But you have to pay for everything in this world – in order to see all the described beauty you will need a truly powerful computer.

Bad news for car agents: damage obtained in accidents is not displayed on licensed cars, moreover, they in no way affect the management and speed characteristics of the machine. However, after some time, you begin to understand that this is not so bad. Ram "peaceful" Transport in the game turns out almost every minute. By the way, civilian cars are subject to slight deformation. Not Burnout, of course, but still better than nothing. Unfortunately, drivers demonstrate the complete absence of intelligence, turning blindly, suddenly leaving for the oncoming lane or just a ram of neighbors. The most distinctly lobotomy AI manifests itself on narrow streets, the passage through which turns into existing hell. Especially in those missions where damage is required to avoid.

Test Drive Unlimited Attentive to the little things. Animals are walking in the forests, the police catch criminals and malicious violators (you can also be in place). Here, in the manner of already mentioned in the article GTA, there is its radio. It’s a pity that a selection of compositions cannot boast of a scope. At times, the melodies from speakers are replaced by a pleasant female voice, giving detailed instructions about your further actions.

Test Drive Unlimited It has an amazing property. She drags on. She is excellent. Be sure, you will not delete the game, do not ride a dozen breathlessly beautiful cars and do not wrap a thousand miles on a speedometer. Stylish, bright game – a sip of fresh air in the stagnant genre of arcade races and the best online rating of our time.

Pros: beautiful cars;fascinating video sequence;elaborate game world;Great multi -user regime.
Cons: a controversial physical model;High system requirements.
