[QUOTE]Atari and Eden Games return to the islands for Test Drive Unlimited 2, the sequel to the hit 2006 online sandbox driving game. How does 2 compare to the original? The difference is night and day - and vehicle damage. Test Drive Unlimited was a pretty big Xbox 360 title when it came out in 2006. It was a prime example of the potential of Xbox Live online multiplayer, allowing the player to see other drivers playing the game online, dropping in and out of races on the fly. It was a little buggy, sure, but we liked it.
Now Eden and Atari team up once again for Test Drive Unlimited 2, giving players a whole new island and features that should make this second installment far superior to the first. Weather effects, a day and night cycle, and vehicle damage up the ante in the sequel, with a revamped single player narrative mode that you can play both on and offline.
"After the highly successful Test Drive Unlimited which redefined the genre with massively open online racing, Test Drive Unlimited 2 will be an innovative evolution in racing games, expanding its unparalleled multiplayer experience and immersing players in a world full of new online content and lifestyle customization." said Jeff Lapin, CEO of Atari, SA. "The game fits squarely into our strategy of moving online and generating new revenue streams while maintaining our current retail business."
Test Drive Unlimited 2 is due out this fall on the Xbox 360, PC, and the PlayStation 3.

I'm kind of looking forward to this. I'm a fan of the first one. There are some parts of it I just find utterly stupid (like no damage), yet it's still a fun game to cruise around with random people on the internet. What does FP think?
This was already announced.
I didn't like the first, this'll probably be just as boring
Sweet, I found Test Drive Unlimited to be a game that stood out amongst the other games
I love TDU! Hellz Ya!
It's so boring but addicting and you always go back.

I agree. I have no idea why.
I thought the online functions were cool in the first game

Except that it used shitty GameSpy if I remember correctly.
I am so happy right now. i can't wait, i loved driving around hawaii.
I fucking loved TDU
I got the first game of this. Hard as well. I really hate time.

I did to, I hope they get the mmoish aspect of it working better than the first though.
I liked the first one, had some great engine sound effects... Going from 20 Miles per hour to 130 in Third gear in a Lambo really sounded great, Both with the windows up or down

good game but some of the player made challenges were really terrible, should have to go through a screening process or something or X number of bad ratings removes them as some were just shit.
The thing that really ruined it for me were the cheaters... I played the PC version and while they got banned at one point, it did nothing to help the problem
Had entire races completed in a mere 3 seconds, Leaderboards and even trying to compete in any event was pointless because of it
