Game Revolution writes: "Once appropriately codenamed Test Drive High Life, the upcoming Test Drive Unlimited 2 follows thorough with its moniker as a full-bodied, high-luxury racing MMO that could be described as “Top Gear Fantasy”. It’s not often that so I’m stunned by a video game at first glance, that I’m rushing to absorb everything on the screen before it goes away. Even with Burnout Paradise as a guide post for free-roaming, open-world racing, Eden Games’ Test Drive Unlimited 2 drives the concept past that marker – and the first Test Drive Unlimited in 2006 – by miles".

It was one of my most anticipated games ever, with a concept years ahead of what Forza Horizon could achieve. But it remains one of the buggiest launches of a game I can remember, completely tarnishing my memory of it."

Such an underrated game, the only problem I had with it was the car physics on anything more powerful the a Golf GTI. But to me this was the original Forza Horizon
Game Informer - It's hard to imagine what to do in a car game except race other cars, and yet with Test Drive Unlimited 2, developer Eden Games found a way to expand the genre's horizons enough to offer an experience that's slightly different from your average racer. Eden's ambition came with a cost, but Test Drive Unlimited 2 is a game that I remember fondly and appreciate for the chances it takes.
This game gets a bad rap, but I enjoy it still. The idea was great, I think that if the devs were just better supported it could have been something truly epic.
Would love to see something like this again, especially on a next gen console.
Dear gameinformer,
look up the fucking definition of cult classic,
sincerely,
anyone who knows what "cult" or "classic" means.
