Synopsis

Test Drive Unlimited is an arcade-style racing game, the 9th game of the Test Drive series, it features over 125 licensed sports cars and motorcycles and a terrain modeled after the Hawaiian island of Oahu that features some 1000 miles of roads and highways.[1] Test Drive Unlimited is the ninth main installment of Test Drive, one of the longest running racing game franchises. A sequel, entitled Test Drive Unlimited 2, has been released on February 8, 2011.

The game begins by purchasing a car and a house. The player is then free to explore the island; as this happens key locations on the map are revealed. These include a Car and Bike dealership, car rental agencies, tuning shops, paint shops, time challenges, courier, vehicle transportation, hitchhikers and more.

Success in challenges is rewarded with in-game money, or in the Hitchhiker and Top Model challenges, coupons. Using these coupons, the player can buy clothing for their character at the many branded clothes shops on the island. Money earned may be spent on buying new vehicles, renting cars, upgrading cars and buying houses. Players can acquire sports cars from various manufacturers, including a Ferrari 575M Maranello, the AC Cobra 289, the Maserati 3500 GT and the Pontiac Firebird. The megapack adds more than 45 more cars, including the Efijy Concept, the Lamborghini Diablo and the Nissan Skyline GT-R, and an extra motorcycle.

Gameplay/Multiplayer

This is one of the xbox 360's first realistic racing games ever made, this game captures the realism of cars and how they handle. The game has a free roam when your not racing which it lets you go all around Hawaii, multiplayer is already built into the free roam so you can meet and race with new people with joining different games, its all one big server. There are a few minor glitches though, one being to evade cops all you have to do is go onto a grassy surface and they can't follow you. The game has cut down on price as it being a older game but I still enjoy it and recommend getting it.

Graphics

The graphics of this game are amazing and really captures Hawaii's beauty. The Devs spent much time on making the cars as realistic as possible, but still putting the time into the setting of the game which is Hawaii, and when people think of Hawaii they think of its beauty and the Devs have captured that perfectly
