One of the games expected to appear this year and unfortunately, postponed by producers: “Test Drive Unlimited 2” will appear next year, in the first quarter. Atari has just made official the announcement, so let`s wait for 2011, in order to test the most advanced virtual cars.
Atari didn`t explain why the game was delayed, just let fans and game editors know that “Test Drive Unlimited 2” will be available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 an Mac in 2011. The official press release states that, thanks to this measure, producers will have time to fully enhance the multiplayer experience for consoles”. Let`s believe them and wait for the speedy cars to come in our homes.
Although I might sound strange and crazy, I think that this game will attract also girls, despite the fact that driving cars with speed seems to be a masculine prerogative. Personally, when I have seen all these spectacular, beautiful, colorful models of cars in the screenshots, I`ve said to myself that I have to ride one, even if I do it on a virtual way. After all, I guess, this is why car games are successful: they offer you the alternative of riding the desired car for a while, but it comforts your imagination and soul.
Let`s make a little bit of history and see why “Test Drive Unlimited” is so beloved in game industry. It`s officially rated as arcade-style racing game and it includes more than 125 licensed sports cars and motorcycles. If you take in account this number of models, you will see that the similar games won`t offer these impressive possibility to choose your favorite car or at least, one appropriate to your taste.
In order to delight more your eyes and to feel like in Paradise, while testing your car, you will be doing this on an exotic island, O`ahu, belonging to Hawaii. In the first sequel, you had just the option of single-player, fact that bothered many of gamers. Although you are limited to this feature, you could drive both on-road and off-road, you could challenge the real racers that you encountered on your way, so it was in fact an interactive game play.
The sequel that is expected to appear in “Test Drive Unlimited 2” is meant to correct all the deficiencies from the past. If you visit the official site, you will have the pleasant surprise to wake up in the middle of a race. The cars of future are advanced, powerful and aesthetic, waiting for your attention. You can preorder the game starting right now, you will have six distributors at your disposal.
If you think that 50$ is too much for a game, take in account the updates made to “Test Drive Ultimate 2” (auto racing experience, multiplayer option, customization or progression) and the fact that the background is set on Ibiza and then, probably you will reconsider your opinion. Preordering from Atari, will make you the happy winner of Nissan 370Z, which looks like a god.
