franchise starts in 1987 when Publishers

Accolade released test drive it may not

blow the minds of young Gamers today but

this simple Supercar Coastal police

chase was critically acclaimed upon its

release numerous sequels would follow as

the New Millennium approached continuing

the theme of exotic performance cars

winding public roads and police chases

there were also a series of spin-offs

such as the four test drive off-road

titles and even test drive lont which

focused on the 99 edition of the great

Race by this stage the franchise was

well a little bit of a mess infogrames

had purchased original publisher

Accolade and as the numbered sequels

disappeared the test drive name appeared

to lose a little bit of its own identity

no clear direction from the outside

numerous developers copyright and

trademarking roadblocks and games that

although solid weren't exactly setting

the world Al light things were shifting

however two more notable infograms

Acquisitions would take place in the

early ughs developers Eden Studios which

would then become Eden games and Hasbro

for infogram to rename itself Atari with

the next generation of Xbox just around

the corner in the shape of the 360 and

philosophy of fast cars open roads and

however needed some Modern substance so

for the first time in the series

everything takes place within an open

world setting instead of forcing you

through a standard linear menu based

pretty depressing looking departure

a Tuesday evening it quickly Dawns on

you that the dodgy looking characters

present in said departure Lounge aren't

going to be the antagonists in this

rare forgotten gems Concepts and

Classics this just like Peak Top Gear

the sound design lacks a little bit of

Gusto from Maserati driver has prior for

[Applause]

offenses this we lost a suspect supect

[Music]

the concept cars in particular are

have been completed making them more

desirable I always love a futuristic

concept car from the past it shows us

the direction manufacturers thought we

were heading at the time although tuning

is present and you can paint your car

customization doesn't come close to Need

for Speed levels there was of course the

excuse of the contrasting car culture

and TDU does have a unique trick up its

vehicular sleeve the presence of

motorbikes Yep this game wasn't just for

four-wheel enthusiasts as once you had

discovered every car showroom location

into the freay enters ducatti MV austa

Triumph and Kawasaki the handling of

these bikes is h a thing but this was

another twist another unique angle

setting it apart from most of the

competition and discovering these bike

showrooms deep into your playthrough

gives you one final Taste of TD's

croning

Jewel

dealerships discovering them visiting

them exploring them each element feels

like its own special occasion driving

across this vast Island in search of an

independent British sports car

dealership to pick up that Noble M12 g3r

I'd always dreamed of owning only to

stumble across a Spiker C8 laviolet that

I'd fallen in love with during my Grand

Turismo 4 days I remember that feeling

when I first found the Maserati and

Ferrari dealership back in the day

happening across it by accident before

excitedly going through each model one

by one every car more exciting than the

last you obviously couldn't afford these

just yet so how about taking the MC12

out for a test drive jump in your

favorite car no matter the value for a

taste of what's to come Unlimited in

quantity Limited in time but a cool

feature regardless if you want to make

meaningful progress and actually own

this car one day you're going to have to

buy something more modest and do it the

hard

way beyond the cars the racing and the

exploring things are kept fresh by

varied event types the there are

eliminators time trials and speed tests

whether that be weaving through dense

Motorway traffic to reach the highest

top speed or a collection of cleverly

placed Radars what route do you take to

maximize each speed trap and in what

order the challenges often force you

into decision- making ducking in and out

of traffic is a key game mechanic but do

you take the risky highp speed approach

or play it safe after all hitting

traffic on a blind Crest kills every

ounce of momentum and it takes a long

time to get back up to speed again then

we have the consisting of picking up

models objects and even hitchhikers

before driving them safely to the

destination in exchange for clothing

tokens and cash and let's not forget the

classic vehicle transport missions every

blade of grass you touch reduces your

payout and considering these are one

shot with no restarts every Journey

feels genuinely and beautifully perilous

sometimes collisions feel totally out of

your control and there's something

special about that in a game like this

driving safely as well as quickly is a

common theme as outside of the events

themselves you also have the cops to

deal with much like the aformentioned

original test drive title police chases

are inevitable as you attempt to flee

every single bit of damage you cause to

the scenery or other cars results in

more police resources and a larger fine

should you eventually be stopped sound

familiar the online element of this game

was a big part of its appeal at the time

too especially with the 360 version you

could see other users driving around the

island at the same time as you then join

an auto club or challenge these fellow

players to races for a cash reward or

even ping slips as well as taking part

in all of the regular single player

events in a multiplayer format although

the TDU servers are down and playing

this multiplayer in its original form is

no longer possible mods on PC have

actually kept the scene alive through

the

decades in my opinion any good racing

game needs to strike some sort of

balance it needs to be challenging but

not impossible it must reward genuine

effort and success rather than just

handing you PR on a plate but equally

make it too much of a grind and a player

might lose hope and interest an open

world location must feel vast and

explorable without becoming totally

overwhelming the original Test Drive

Unlimited Nails this balance brief I

find the 1,000 M of aaho Roads weirdly

manageable bearing in mind that this is

massive by today's standards let alone

in 2006 I think being an island always

helps the coastline keeps everything

fenced in naturally adding to the open

world immersion there are also certain

hubs where the action generally takes

place Honolulu for example so exploring

the rural areas of the island does feel

like an adventure away from home there's

no denying the island in general lacks a

bit of atmosphere and variety with no

pedestrians fairly basic buildings

outside of the main areas and a quite

flat color palette but thanks to the use

of satellite imagery the terrain and the

roads themselves are fairly

representative of the real Island maybe

we're spoiled these days by the vibrancy

of recent Forza Horizon offerings two

more things on the subject of balance

the pacing of progression outside of the

event and the challenge and difficulty

of the events themselves whether it be

an event win or a new card you really do

have to work for it it's not quite gr

Turismo 3 levels of grind but it's far

closer to that end of the scale than it

is to for's Golden platter of handouts

you start modestly work hard well race

hard and save your money for a better

car and just as you finally feel like

you're getting close to something

special you realize that if you don't

want to sell your early game pride and

joy you're going to have to save for a

house instead one with a bigger garage

at least it's that all too familiar

feeling of that thing you want being

just Out Of Reach only it isn't money

often builds up quicker than you expect

and although at first things appear

unobtainable you get there eventually

driving out of that dealership in your

dream car is well worth the

wait they say money can't buy you

happiness and that feeling can often be

translated through racing games that

moment where you reach the End by your

dream car beat the final boss and

realize it was never about the

destination it was about the journey all

along and to be honest that does

eventually happen in Test Drive

Unlimited but not as quickly as you

might expect the game leaves Secrets

scattered across the experience that

keeps things engaging until The Bitter

End there are of course the bike

dealerships as I mentioned earlier

there's even a circuit called aahu

Raceway that can be driven on once you

reach champion level but that's not the

only thing you gain access to did you

know the original Test Drive Unlimited

has a hardcore handling mode

expectations were tempered when

revisiting this on a modern di Drive

steering wheel and you know what I was

actually pretty impressed it was fun

challenging dare I say realistic okay

not all the time but in many ways it's a

shame this wasn't at least an option

from the start as for some this move

towards realism could have made the

entire playthrough even more immersive

and rewarding I guess adapting the AI

opponents and target times for all

events might have been a step too far

then we have the Easter eggs the literal

Secrets hidden amongst the grass my

favorite has to be the secret Island

from the PC and 360 versions that

contains a beautiful roller Coastal

circuit running around its perimeter

gorgeous scenery plenty of elevation

changes even winds its way around

waterfalls in a technical section

testing your car's handling it isn't

easy to find the teleporter if you don't

know where it is originally making it

all the more rewarding the first time

you crack

it it's not just a game ST s that make

it special Nostalgia bias is strong even

certain flaws that draw heavy criticism

upon release become Charming

imperfections over time test Drive

Unlimited certainly isn't immune but

some of its flaws are impossible to

ignore even with rose tinted spectacles

despite the fancy cars the tropical

island the lifestyle and the traffic the

single player experience can feel

isolated and lonely aside from The

Hitchhikers we are all the people the

characters I guess with a map this big

you really can't have everything there's

also something corporate dare I say

impersonal about it maybe it's the dated

UI design or the thinly veiled misogyny

found in many games of this generation

that have aged purely or the

ostentatious nature of your character's

aspirations yes I would love to drive

some of these incredible cars and spend

time in a stunning Hawaiian Mansion but

the delivery feels ever so slightly

vulgar while the incredible vehicle

selection Delights car enthusiasts the

overall presentation is weighted

slightly towards wealth and image over

ground level car culture and for me this

gives it a subtle identity crisis

because we know it's meant to be about

the cars I admit this is a subjective

gripe as everyone has their own tastes

and at the end of the day you could

argue the whole point of a game like

this is to experience something that you

might never be able to in reality Gran

Turismo and Need for Speed had already

given us narratives grounded in

different forms of car culture this game

with its exotic Machinery expansive open

world formula and a focus on lifestyle

as well as racing was doing something

unique for its time which made it stand

out the game feeds on our ingrained

sense of Discovery our love of cars and

our quest for bigger and better a

formula you can no longer get away from

and let's not forget Burnout Paradise

didn't exist yet for a horizon wouldn't

exist for another 6 years The Crew 8

years you could argue that TD's release

was this genre's Genesis
