Test Drive Unlimited

"Xbox 360 was MADE for Test Drive Unlimited"

It's an amazing game with impressive graphics, great play and the features such as creating clubs, racing friends with online play and the interactive extras make this most definitely the best game of the year! Atari has outdone themselves again and this is certain to be their best game ever. The appeal is the ability to make transaction at "dealerships", find, race and invite friends to join you in either races or building clubs (online feature) and even selling your properties. This includes houses and cars! I can't wait to get home from work every day to get on the 360 and do some damage!!

The graphics in this game make it difficult, at times, to remember this isn't a live show, especially when playing on an HDTV. The fact that the game takes place in Hawaii is also a plus. It's my favorite vacation spot so it's like a mini vacation in my favorite place doing my favorite thing- racing! It's a vacation without the cost...lol Like I said, the graphics, the details and the game itself put this over the top and finally give players something different to appease themselves. Not the typical play and well worth the adventures.

The realism of the cars is done perfectly. Each car has its own individual sound and hearing the rev of the engine while speeding through the courses puts you right there in the action. The radio feature is a nice upgrade to most games out there, but make no mistake, this game has put Atari into a completely different realm!

One of the other factors is the price. It's a $60 dollar title for almost half that! Don't tell Atari though, we don't need them knowing it's worth way more than we paid...lol I wasn't expecting much for a title at this price, but was pleasantly surprised to find that it COMPLETELY exceeded my wildest dreams on what they were offering in price. Atari is onto something here, now if only all the other greedy companies would catch on!!!!!!!

The other feature, that I and everyone else will appreciate, is the fact that you are able to upgrade to cars that all of us wish we could drive in life...Lamborghini being one- need I say more? Buy the game, play the game, worship the game. You're a fool if you don't. And no, you can't borrow mine!
